Okina

Okina is run by a father-and-son team, creating a friendly, sociable atmosphere. Tsukuri, tempura, unagi, boiled tofu and deep-fried tofu fritters are all on offer. The charcoal-cooked fare brings out the natural flavour of the ingredients. The tilefish flesh is grilled, and the scales are fried for a pungent aroma. Due to its location in the sightseeing area of Sagano, the restaurant can be busy at lunchtime during peak season, though the pace is more relaxed in the evenings.
