Kobai-an

4.0

Located in Kamishichiken, Kyoto's oldest geisha quarter, this teahouse has been operating as a caterer for over 70 years. Delivering mainly within the Kyoto city limits they deliver seasonal Kyoto cuisine and sushi. One of their popular bento lunch boxes is their Double Layer Box which offers nearly 20 different side dishes on the top level and a bottom level of rolled and nigiri sushi resulting in a compact yet still filling meal. You can also enjoy your meal in their building which was remodeled from a classic townhouse. Their specialty dish is a bento box with rice topped with their homemade chirimen-sansho (dried whitebait and Japanese pepper boiled in soy sauce and mirin seasoning). They also sell souvenirs.

昼食は通常通りで、本日もランチに。セット物でしたが雰囲気、味、価格ともこの内容としては妥当なところでしょう。行くのは２回目。元々、和食は中華のように大嫌いな食べ物の範疇には入らないので、問題はないのですが、個人的嗜好としては牛肉が一番、２番から４番迄がなくて５番が豚肉、６番が和食と云う嗜好です。鳥と魚はどちらか云うと好みではありません。ここは上七軒で７０年以上も営業している和食屋さん。
最高

友人に一家で夕飯に招待して頂きました。雰囲気の良い場所で、お料理もとっても美味しく、サービスも温かくて感激致しました。小さな子供達がいたので恐縮しておりましたが、嫌な顔もせず非常に優しくして下さり嬉しかったです。
