Misoka-an Kawamichiya

This venerable kisoba (100% buckwheat soba noodles) restaurant located in a Sukiya-zukuri building on Fuyacho Street has been in business since the Edo period. Their specialty is their Hokoro hot pot, which is made with a dashi stock that has been passed down for generations. Guests can savor quintessentially Kyoto ingredients such as Japanese yam from Tanba, springy udon noodles, Kujo scallions, and hikiage yuba (tofu skins). We recommend changing up the flavor of the hot pot after it boils down by squeezing the juice of a sudachi citrus into it. Their classic zaru soba (soba noodles served on a bamboo sieve), yamakake soba (soba noodles topped with grated yam), and mizore sets, which include mizore soba (soba noodle topped with grated daikon), a seasonal rice dish and pickles, are also popular.
