I visited this place during my trip to Kyoto. They have a system where you put your belongings on wooden shelves (lol). I was torn between ordering the negiyaki and the betayaki (Kyoto-style okonomiyaki), but I ended up ordering the betayaki. It was around 2 PM and the place was full. They have limited seating, so I just made it in. I wonder if it gets crowded during weekday lunches. The retro atmosphere and the friendly mama (owner) were very comforting. Maybe because it was full, it took about 20 minutes from ordering to being served. According to the mama, the negiyaki is even more delicious in winter! Maybe it depends on the season of the green onions? The taste was like Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki without noodles, with the egg adding a gentle touch. It reminded me of my recent visit to Mr. Niita's place. They also had urugi (beef throat) yaki on the menu, which made me wonder if it's unique to Kyoto? There were also a few foreigners dining there. It's a very heartwarming place, and I left feeling warm and fuzzy. Looking forward to trying the winter negiyaki next time!

During summer vacation, we traveled by car from Kobe to Awaji Island, Takamatsu, Kurashiki, Himeji, Takarazuka, and finally to Kyoto. My wife wanted to eat okonomiyaki, so we made a reservation in advance and went to a restaurant. The interior had only a counter and could accommodate about 10 people. We ordered okonomiyaki, negiyaki, betayaki, sunazuri, edamame, 3 beers, 2 lemon sours, and 1 sake, which cost a little over 8000 yen. The cost performance was good, and the auntie who cooked on the iron plate was very friendly, making it a cozy and comfortable place to dine.

The restaurant interior, with only counter seats, is somewhat cooled by the air conditioning, but the teppanyaki grill in front is hot. The staff mentioned they have lost 3kg this summer. It's also humid outside, so beer goes down easily. Unlike the famous negiyaki restaurant in Juso, the way they make it here is different, but it was incredibly delicious in its own way. I really wanted to try more dishes. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived around 8 p.m. on Friday night. It seemed like it would have been better to make a reservation, but we went there due to a sudden change in plans and ended up waiting for about 20 minutes. The interior of the restaurant has a nice atmosphere and is very friendly. I ordered the negiyaki mix, and the process of making it was beautiful, allowing me to experience the essence of Kyoto.

The rain has mostly stopped, but it feels like there are fewer tourists overall. It's times like these when you should go to a crowded restaurant, right? I came to Gion-Shijo. There are many crowded restaurants, but the expensive ones are out of reach. There are many shops selling shaved ice sweets, but it's cool today, so not really feeling it. I think there was okonomiyaki around here. Around 13:10, about 80% full, I sat at one of the counter seats. Is this their selling point? I ordered the Negiyaki Mix without ginger. It feels like you have to order a drink. The sweets shop I was eyeing was closed today, so maybe it's good to end here. I also ordered green tea. The green tea was ordinary, and the okonomiyaki was ready in about 20 minutes, finished with a mild taste. The taste was quite average. The red part was an egg yolk, and the way it was made was interesting. It feels like a shop loved by regulars. I paid 1540 yen in cash. On the way back, I saw the mausoleum of Emperor Sutoku. Kyoto is truly a treasure trove of famous places, right? I'm tired, let's go home.

The friendly proprietress will cook for you. She even provides English menus for overseas customers and is kind enough to assist in English. The other employee seemed to struggle with English and was a bit blunt with foreign customers. Nevertheless, the food was as delicious as always. I wanted to try various dishes, but the proprietress advised me, "The portions are large, so eat first," and sure enough, I was full after just one okonomiyaki. I would like to visit with a few friends next time. Last time, I dined with a few people at night, ordered various dishes, and had a great time eating and drinking. Since it was daytime, I didn't order any drinks, but it's a place where they don't mind, and I'd like to come back at night.

Yes! That's right. It's negi, green onions. Of course, being in Kyoto, it may be natural, but what gives most of the teppanyaki dishes their umami flavor is negi. The sweetness, spiciness, and deliciousness - the key to determining the balance of ingredients and seasonings lies in having negi at the core. Counter seating only. This restaurant is almost always fully booked with reservations. I've been coming here from Edo, trying out various dishes, and I've come to realize this. I will continue to come here in the future! Thank you very much!

For the main event rather than the after-party, let's go to Kanakan in Gion for okonomiyaki and drinks! We chose the beef betayaki, and enjoyed kimchi and rich sauce as appetizers while waiting for it to cook. The Kyoto-style betayaki goes well with beer! We also tried the horumon yaki and were very satisfied. However, there were many foreigners!

A okonomiyaki restaurant near Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto. Second visit on a holiday afternoon. Arrived around 1 PM. Full with reservations. Made a reservation for 2 PM. Came back at 1:50 PM and got seated. L-shaped counter with about 12 seats. Seems to have reduced seating. Recommended: Okonomiyaki with beef tendon for 900 yen + tax - a medium-sized okonomiyaki. Mixed and cooked well. Flipped twice. Finished with sauce, bonito flakes, and seaweed. Crispy cabbage. Tender beef tendon with a nice aroma. Also had a draft beer for 600 yen. Glass was nicely chilled. Very delicious. Many teppanyaki options available. Reservations seem almost necessary even during lunchtime.

Tabelog (1) Okonomiyaki Mix (2) Tonpeiyaki ◇ Customer Service... The older sister promptly and kindly responded ◇ Infection prevention, hygiene table... Clean Chair... Normal Disinfectant is... provided by staff upon entering the store ◇ Other... I visited just after opening. Shortly after, it was fully booked. It was a great success, including overseas visitors.

Taste: The food was crispy and delicious, seemed simple but the flavor was quite impressive. I want to go back again. Atmosphere: You need to make a reservation to get in, counter seating only. It's nice to freely chat with the friendly female staff. Cost performance: It's worth it for what you get.

I arrived at a restaurant that my acquaintance had made a reservation for. Nearby is Yasaka Shrine. The atmosphere was different from what I had imagined. The curtain felt... It didn't seem like Kyoto, let alone Gion... I actually liked the nostalgic feel of a downtown vibe. Upon entering the restaurant, I liked it even more. The nostalgic atmosphere with only counter seats. The menu was not just on a wooden board, but also various items pasted on vinyl-covered paper. It was hard to decide what to order. Then, my acquaintance arrived. "What would you like to eat?" my acquaintance asked, so I decided to start with what my acquaintance recommended. [Special dashimaki] "Huh, dashimaki?" It was a surprising order. However, when they started grilling the dashimaki on the iron plate in front of me... my heart was instantly captivated. The grilling method was unique. The ingredients inside like green onions and pickled ginger were unique. After going through the teppanyaki process, it was ready. Just by looking at it, it looked incredibly delicious. Let's dig in. My acquaintance, being a gourmet lover, has a discerning taste. It was superb as a B-class delicacy and a great accompaniment to drinks. Even during the day, we were already drinking beer. Delicious! Teppanyaki is the best because you can eat it piping hot. It was even better on this cold day. Next up, [Grilled cartilage]. This might have been my request. It was different from what I had imagined, but it was incredibly delicious. The crunchy texture and Kujyo green onions went well together. It was truly a great dish to accompany drinks. I was also happy that they finished it off with aluminum foil so that the umami wouldn't escape... [Grilled squid] was also delicious. It had a street food vibe. The simple seasoning allowed the full flavor of the ingredients to shine. I couldn't help but think, "Is this Osaka?" I think the next teppanyaki was... maybe octopus. If there was squid, then octopus... that's the feeling I got. It paired well with Kujyo green onions. The drinks were flowing smoothly. This was also recommended by my acquaintance. [Grilled oysters] were seasoned perfectly with bean sprouts. The balance of pepper was just right. It had a thick texture and was delicious! Even the restaurant's mark indicated it was "extremely delicious." It was already delicious on its own, but dipping it in ponzu sauce enhanced the flavor even more. I never thought oysters could be enjoyed in this way. And then, I decided to order the mysterious food that caught my eye on the menu board. [Nasu minchi cheese] Enjoying three flavors? Minced meat topped with eggplant. I thought, "I see." Grilled on both sides, it was just as expected... no, it was different... there was more to it... They generously sprinkled cheese on top. Just the aroma alone made me feel like I could eat a whole bowl of rice. It was irresistible. The cheese had a nice sear on it when it was done. When you eat it together... it was so delicious... Even those who dislike eggplant could enjoy it. Ordering this was a great decision. To finish, there was no other choice but to go with a Kyoto specialty. [Gyusujin no betayaki]. It looked like okonomiyaki, but instead of kneading cabbage into the flour, they sandwiched cabbage in between. Drizzled with sauce (probably Otafuku)... topped with bonito flakes and seaweed. And it was ready. Let's dig in. The richness of the beef tendon was irresistible. It was my first time having betayaki. Delicious! My stomach was quite full, but my appetite was not fading. With plenty of cabbage, it's healthy... no, I was taken to a good restaurant. Thank you! After that, inbound tourists and Japanese tourists also started to come in. Since there were only counter seats, it really depended on timing. It was great to come here with a regular customer (acquaintance)!

This is my third visit! The grilled oysters, grilled beef tendon, rolled omelette with dashi, and mixed grilled green onions are all delicious! The grilled green onions are a must-order! The staff is friendly and easy to talk to, they make you laugh (´艸｀). The customer next to me was eating yakisoba and it looked delicious, so I want to try it next time. We ordered two glasses of draft beer and one bottle of beer, and it was about 6500 yen ( ˘꒳˘ ). It always seems to be fully booked. I recommend making a reservation in advance, but you may also get lucky and find a seat!

A long-established teppanyaki restaurant in Yasui, Higashiyama - Gion - Gion Negiyaki - Okonomiyaki Hyakumeiten 2022 - After dining at Shantan, the second stop of the day was at a long-standing okonomiyaki restaurant in Gion, Kanasan. We ordered grilled chicken gizzards, potato cheese, garlic sprouts stir-fry, and pork okonomiyaki. We started with a toast with shochu highball! Making friends with the neighboring customers at the counter seats of the teppanyaki restaurant, we enjoyed conversations with the master and the neighboring customers, and the drinks kept flowing with the teppanyaki appetizers, creating a great atmosphere unique to a long-established teppanyaki restaurant! Finally, we finished with okonomiyaki and enjoyed our delicious second meal.

It's better to make a reservation since there are only a few counter seats◎(*^^*) You can enjoy your meal hot as it's cooked on the teppan grill in front of you✧ \( °∀° )/ ✧ The must-try dish is the negiyaki!!! The Kujyo green onions are amazing! I also had the yakisoba, and when they were making it, they asked, "Do you like it spicy?" and offered spicy sauce, which was thoughtful♡! The regular customers were all nice people, and it was a fun time♡

I needed a reservation. I didn't make one, so I waited outside for about 30 minutes. Luckily, I was able to get in. The staff were very kind. It's a counter-only restaurant where they cook right in front of you, and the drinks flow easily. I was surprised to see a famous actor sitting next to me. The atmosphere and taste are top-notch. This restaurant was featured on a TV show about foreigners visiting Japan, and the foreign chef was moved to tears by the deliciousness.

In Gion Shijo, at the "Negiyaki Kana Higashiten" restaurant, it's okonomiyaki again today. This day, by some chance, I tried sashi drinking for the first time. My favorite okonomiyaki place in Kyoto. It's the "Gion Negiyaki Kana Higashiten" just a short walk from Yasaka Shrine. The interior with only a counter is small but the taste is great. The chef may seem gruff but is easy to talk to. Still a popular spot, so reservations are a must. Be aware that you'll almost never get in without a reservation. First up, the popular homemade potato salad for 400 yen. Spicy with karashi mayo. Goes well with alcohol. Special dashimaki for 650 yen. Dashimaki rolled right in front of you on the iron plate! The texture is bouncy and the accent of pickled ginger is nice. A must-try. Steaks from 2000 yen. Actually, the steak here is delicious. The plating may be messy but it's beautifully rare. Meltingly tender meat, overflowing with juices. Negiyaki with chikuwa for 800 yen. Add an egg for 100 yen, a must. The surface is firm with egg. And it's served with soy sauce, not sauce. The dashi from the chikuwa adds depth to the dough. Light soy sauce that enhances the sweetness of the leeks. Still delicious as always. Pickles for 400 yen. Well-pickled doboduke. It's addictive. Asparagus (price unknown). Simple salt-grilled asparagus is always a hit. Sunazuri for 550 yen. A hint of sansho pepper. Perfect with alcohol. Betayaki mix for 900 yen. Two layers of sweet and spicy sauce. It gets quite spicy afterwards! A thick, flavorful, slightly gooey dough with the sweetness of cabbage. Simple but spot on. Yakisoba mix for 900 yen. Sweet sauce but gets spicy later on. Irresistible sauce that makes you keep eating. My stomach is full to bursting!!

Okonomiyaki Hyakumeiten. This restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with all counter seats, and I tried their teppanyaki. Many customers were chatting with the staff as they ate because of the close proximity. The negiyaki was cheap and delicious, and I felt like I could eat as many as I wanted. The other teppanyaki dishes were also homey and good.

I visited "Gion Negiyaki Kana Higashiten" in Gion Shijo, Kyoto, which is listed in the Okonomiyaki Hyakumeiten 2018-2022. I arrived 30 minutes before the 12:00 opening on a Saturday and was the first in line. The staff kindly provided a folded bench for us to wait. The restaurant was packed with reserved seats and customers from the first round. Walk-in customers were being turned away while we were eating. This place is popular. We ordered Negiyaki (mixed) for 900 yen, Yakisoba (mixed) for 900 yen, draft beer for 600 yen, and shochu highball (lemon) for 600 yen. The dishes were cooked right in front of us on the hot plate. The delicious aroma gradually filled the air, making it enjoyable just to watch them cook. First, the Yakisoba arrived! The straight noodles with plenty of ingredients, and the crispy parts on the hot plate were also delicious. Soon after, the Negiyaki was ready! The steamed and plentiful green onions were sweet and refreshing, making it delicious! The nostalgic atmosphere and the style of cooking right in front of us on the hot plate were great. We enjoyed the meal. Thank you for the feast.
