Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto City Nakagyo-ku Hexagon Tong New Shin Kyogendo Entrance Matsukeba-machi 456

A venerable eel restaurant founded at the end of the Taisho period located in Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. The warm and retro looking exterior looks the same as when the restaurant was established and stands out all the more amongst the throngs of buildings in Shinkyogoku. The key to the shop’s flavor is a secret sauce passed down for one hundred years which brings out the savory deliciousness of plump eels from Lake Hamana. Particularly popular are the standard eel rice bowl and the restaurant’s famous “kinshi-don”—eel rice bowl topped with an egg fried Kyoto style. One of the restaurant’s customs is the “Kaneyo Yose” held each month, an event which includes live entertainment with a meal.

The grilled eel was absolutely fantastic. Tastes great! The food presentation was top notch. Quality service, nice food and traditional decoration, it is worth to visit!

Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto-shi Shimogyo-ku Nishikiya Machi Tooru Matsubara Kami 2-chome Temmachi 272

They feature a rich menu using the entire crab, including hot pot dishes, tempura, chawan-mushi (savory egg custard) and kani-miso (crab paste). They also offer plans for lunch-only set meals and for banquets. In addition, the Shijo Kawaramachi store is open only in the winter during the crab season from October to March.

We did not have time to go to Fukui, so we went to Yamayoshi in Kyoto to try the Matsuba crab. The service was reasonably good. The waiter explained to us our options and tailored the courses to...

Kyoto Maizuru-shi Fuki 158-2

This seafood restaurant is on Shiratori-dori Avenue. Look for the large purple flag. Every morning, the owners head to the Maizuru port auctions to select seafood with the uncompromising eyes of pros. The shop's top selling dish is the Bikkuri!

The morning fish is delivered to shops in order, so sashimi is only available after 12. They also make their own dried seafood goods available in the shop.

ボリューム満点器からはみ出るお刺身！美味しい魚介日本料理のお店「びっくり海鮮丼（1.480円）」が評判のお店。ボリューム満点で、器からはみ出るほど豪快に刺身が盛られた海鮮丼は新鮮で美味しく、甘口の醤油がさらに旨味を引き立てている。これが食べたいと、遠方からわざわざ訪れる客も多い。毎朝店主がせりに直接出向き、鮮魚を持ち帰るのが11時頃なので、刺身料理を調理して提供するのが12時以降となるそう。揚げ...

一大観光地、天橋立のケーブルカー登り口や元伊勢籠神社にもほど近い位置にある「食堂兼土産物屋」で団体にも対応可能。駐車場は広大で大型バスが何台も止まれそう。食堂の席の目の前には芝生と剪定された松越しに阿蘇海と天橋立の松林が見える。シラス丼1,400円（2020年現在）はしらす丼と薬味、生卵、うどんもついた定食でお得感はあった。

Kyoto Kyoto-shi Kita-ku Kamigamoikebatacho 23-2

This sushi and Japanese dining restaurant is found in a quiet residential district about ten minutes' walk from Kitayama Station. The cozy space is centered around the counter seating, and perfect for enjoying drinks and food. The hand-written menus describe the day's sashimi, grilled food, stewed food, fried foods and many other dishes, giving the image of a restaurant rather than a sushi place. The chef built his experience at Kyoto's preeminent sushi shop Matsuzushi. This shop is best enjoyed savoring their exquisitely flavored dishes with a drink and finishing up with nigiri sushi.

人手不足で忙しいのはわかります。でも、配膳されているかどうか確認していない状態で、届いたかどうかわからない料理の代金も請求する伝票を持ってくるのはあまりにも不誠実ではないでしょうか？「このお料理は来ていませんが」というと、「あ、届いてないですね。すみませ-ん」といった反応。慌てて出てきた焼き魚は「お店で出す料理なのか？」と感じるくらい固く、天ぷらは油が切れていませんでした。「怒ってるか...

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
