    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Nakagyo-ku Mibuhigashiotakecho 14 (Onmaedori Rokukaku Nishiiru Hokuto Kado)
    This restaurant is located on Rokkaku Street a three-minute walk from Saiin Station. Look for its red door curtain and paper lanterns. The restaurant serves heart-warming obanzai (Kyoto-style home cooking). Its counter is packed with a stunning selection of around 25 dishes such as simmered bamboo shoots in the spring, or blanched eggplant in a soy-based broth in the summer, sweet-potato vines cooked in sugar and soy sauce in the fall, and simmered Yodo round daikon in the winter. Guests can choose which of the seasonal obanzai made with seasonal vegetables on display they wish to eat. Many people purchase their additive and artificial color-free chirimen-sansho (a preserve of dried young sardines and Japanese pepper) to take home as a side dish for rice or as an appetizer to enjoy with drinks.

    有名人が通っているとのこと。舌は肥えているんでしょう、たぶん。でも有名人だからの対応が心地いいのでは? と思います。味はこれよりおいしい店を何店も知っています。 値段が表記されていないのは、時価? 客を値踏みして値段を決める? いつのまにか有名になるとだめになる店になりました。

    27, Hashihigashizumecho, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto-shi, Kyoto, 604-8258

    ご兄弟が料理人で、それぞれ和食とフレンチを担当し、出てくる料理も、その掛け合わせ的なものが多く、たとえば、訪れたのが6月で、ちょうど若鮎の時期。和食の定番の鮎を、賀茂茄子のピューレのソースでいただくと、新しい味。面白い食体験でした。

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Nakagyo-ku Higashi-uoyacho 197

    家族で訪れました。 錦市場に新しくオープンしたお店です。 最初にカウンターでお料理を注文して、番号札をもらい、できたら持ってきてもらえるシステムです。 サザエの壺焼きや、蟹を注文して、楽しみに待っていましたが、待てども暮らせども来ない… 周辺の私達より後に来たお客様のところにはじゃんじゃん料理が来るので、 「まだですか?」と確認したところ、 「少々お待ち下さい」と… しかし、それからしばらくしても...

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.
