    This Kyoto cuisine restaurant is about five minutes' walk from Karasuma Oike Station, or ten minutes' walk from Nijo castle, on Shinmachi-dori avenue. It once did business in the Ryoutonzushi district, but moved to its current location in 2018. The cozy little restaurant has counter seating and one table, and offers a wide variety of Kyoto cuisine. The lunch course menu has been known for high value since before it moved, with appetizers steeped in rich dashi broth, lightly flavored bowl dishes, perfectly seasoned grilled and fried dishes, and more. It is often full, so reservations are highly recommended.

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.
