Although the purpose was breakfast, the restaurant was fully booked, so I decided to visit during lunchtime. Located along the Shirakawa River in Higashiyama, the atmosphere with willow trees was very elegant and had a Kyoto-like ambiance. The elaborate dishes were served on a large single wooden table, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The live cooking experience in front of you was also very enjoyable, with a perfect sense of intimacy. The second floor seemed to be a room furnished with Nordic furniture, which I would have liked to see. It seems like a great place to relax and enjoy the morning in Kyoto. This time, one of the highlights of my Kyoto exploration was "Tan". - Green and red eggplant cold suri-nagashi - Charcoal-grilled golden eye snapper - Cucumber, melon, lotus root, and white sesame tofu salad - Three types of small croquettes: broccoli and anchovy with basil, seaweed and dried baby sardines, and beef and Japanese pepper - Beef bowl with plenty of Japanese pepper and topped with a raw egg - Smoked ayu cherry chip tempura - Cold zenzai (sweet red bean soup with mochi) - Red oolong tea The mini live cooking atmosphere was great, with a warm and inviting feel. Each dish was explained in detail, making it even more delicious. The second floor seemed to be a room furnished with Nordic furniture, which I would have liked to see, but I'll save it for next time. It seems like a great place to relax and enjoy the morning in Kyoto. #Kyoto #KyotoGourmet #KyotoGourmetTour #Gourmet #GourmetTour #GourmetWalk #Breakfast #Lunch #Lunch #KyotoLunch #KyotoSanjo #Tan #WakudenGroup #SeasonalIngredients

I used this restaurant for the first time at a girls' gathering. The atmosphere of the place was really nice. The lunch course costs 5500 yen, and you can choose from several main rice dishes, plus 5 other dishes including dessert, so it was very filling overall. As a big eater, I was very satisfied (lol). I chose the smoked ayu fish and noodle set for my rice dish. It was delicious~ The staff were also very friendly, so I would like to come back again.

I certify this breakfast restaurant as my favorite! I want to eat there every morning. The interior is modern and lovely. After the meal, you can go up to the second floor and have tea. You can relax and forget about time. I will definitely go again! ( * ॑꒳ ॑*)

I finally got to visit a place that I had been curious about for a while. It is part of the Wakuden group, so I was looking forward to it. I visited for lunch and chose from three menu options. I had the bean and egg dish. In addition to the main dish, there were many side dishes which was great! It was like a Japanese breakfast. I loved everything. The atmosphere was nice too. It would have been even better if the weather was clear. I would like to try a different menu next time. They also serve breakfast, so I would like to try that if I have the chance.

The schedule on my smartphone disappeared from Refills, causing a panic. The system that was syncing the information had apparently ended support without my knowledge, leaving me speechless. I managed to restore the information up to the end of last year from backups and emails, allowing me to clear my travel plans for Golden Week. However, just as I was about to visit Daikakuji and drop off my luggage at a guesthouse in the Hanamachi district of Kamishichiken, my phone rang. "You had a lunch reservation at 12 o'clock but you didn't show up..." What? Which restaurant? "It's 'Tan' in Higashiyama." Oh no, I completely forgot about the reservation I made months ago and even informed them of a change in the number of guests. I had accidentally missed it on my schedule and didn't realize it until now. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it in time as the next customers were already waiting, and I had to leave by 1:15. It was quite a distance from the northwest part of the city to the east, so I had to cancel and felt embarrassed. The cancellation fee would be transferred later. However, after discussing with my companion, we decided to contact the restaurant again. They kindly agreed to accommodate us within the remaining time. Luckily, the owner of the guesthouse offered to drive us there, and we arrived at the restaurant just before 1 o'clock. Despite the rush, we were served a variety of dishes in 15 minutes, with the only main option being beef bowl for a single course priced at 3000 yen, similar to Yoshinoya's fast food. Unfortunately, we couldn't try the original three types of croquettes, but the rice and pickles were delicious, and the atmosphere of the open kitchen along the Shirakawa Bridge was comfortable and relaxing. Despite the initial chaos, it turned out to be a pleasant and memorable experience. I hope to revisit the restaurant in the future and try the full course menu properly.

I visited for lunch. It was a weekday afternoon, but it was fully booked with reservations. Some people who came later were turned away. There were 4 menu options available. There was a large table in the middle (for about 8 people) and two small tables for 2 people each at the edge. The tempura eel with butterbur sauce was crispy and fluffy, and the mountain vegetable rice bowl was a soothing flavor that left me very satisfied. I heard they also serve breakfast and dinner, so I would like to visit again.

Located by the Shirakawa River in Gokencho, this traditional Japanese restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner (by reservation only) in a renovated old house with a view of the Shirakawa willow trees. The concept is "a friend's house by the Shirakawa River in Sanjo." They focus on creating a cozy atmosphere and use vegetables grown by farmers in Kyotango City using natural farming methods without fertilizers or pesticides, and rice grown by their own staff in Kyotango's Kumihama Nono using homemade rice. The restaurant opened in July 2016 and is named "Dan," meaning "small sincerity" and "good things made on the Tango Peninsula." It is affiliated with Wakuden. The location is about 3-4 minutes from Higashiyama Station Exit 1. Cross Sanjo Street and it's on the left side along the Shirakawa River. The sign is not very noticeable, so be careful not to miss it. I discovered this place while passing by in the morning. The door was open, and I could see customers having breakfast inside. This piqued my interest, so I decided to visit in the morning. They have two breakfast seatings at 8:00 and 9:00. I tried to make a reservation online a few days before, but it was fully booked. I called and managed to secure a reservation for a later time (with a reminder about the cancellation policy for the same day). On the day of the visit, the interior of the restaurant had a calm atmosphere with a lot of wood elements and was slightly dimly lit. There is a large communal table in the center and two small tables for two along the wall. I was seated at one of the small tables by the wall. The table was narrow, making it a bit cramped, especially with one side against the wall. Despite sharing the table, there was enough space between seats, making it more comfortable than expected. The service was generally polite. The breakfast I ordered included various dishes such as seasonal salads, steamed vegetables, grilled marinated mackerel, simmered hijiki seaweed, homemade pickles, freshly cooked rice, a special thick egg over rice, and miso soup. The vegetables were fresh and flavorful, and the rice was delicious. After the meal, I received the bill and went upstairs. On the second floor, there is a cozy space with Nordic furniture, including tables by the window and a large table with sofa seating. I chose a comfortable sofa and enjoyed a cup of coffee, spending some relaxing time after the meal. Overall, I spent about 55 minutes at the restaurant, including 25 minutes on the first floor for breakfast and 30 minutes on the second floor for drinks. Although the breakfast portion seemed a bit small, the quality and taste were satisfying. The price felt a bit high, but considering the overall experience, including the time spent on the second floor, it seemed reasonable. I had been curious about this restaurant every time I passed by the Shirakawa River, so I was glad to finally visit and left feeling satisfied.

In Kyoto, mornings start with breakfast at Tan-san. The meal is a traditional Japanese set meal with sesame tofu salad, warm vegetables, grilled mackerel with fermented fish, rice, miso soup, and raw egg. It's simple but comforting. The miso soup is made with bonito and kombu dashi, with a strong bonito flavor. I really enjoy the strong aroma of bonito in the miso soup (laughs). It was delicious.

I was really looking forward to visiting Hanamichuan's affiliated store. I made a reservation over the phone, and the staff was very friendly, which increased my expectations. I was planning to reserve a course, but they said I could do it on the day of the visit. Although the reservation was until 2:30 PM, they asked me to come at 2:00 PM on the day of my visit. I had made a reservation for 1:00 PM, but when I confirmed the day before, they said it was okay to come a little earlier on the day of the visit. So, I planned to finish my errands early and visit the restaurant. However, when I contacted them before my visit, they asked me to come exactly at 1:00 PM. I decided to stick to the reservation time. When I arrived near the restaurant, I noticed a missed call from "Dan." They had informed me that it was okay to come earlier. Thank you. I listened to a voicemail message, but it was cut off before the conversation ended. Good telephone etiquette is an important part of customer service. I hope this lovely restaurant continues to improve. The restaurant had an open door and a casual atmosphere. Since the course was time-consuming, I opted for a rice bowl instead. I ordered the Eel Roll Tempura and Summer Vegetable Bowl for 3300 yen (tax included). The bowl seemed a bit too simple, with vegetables on top of the rice. The Eel Roll Tempura, where eel is wrapped around radish and then tempura-fried, was delicious. The sauce with plum base was also tasty. The seasonal mixed vegetables side dish with plenty of sesame was delicious. The miso soup and pickles were also good. I also ordered the Dan's Beef Bowl with plenty of Sansho pepper for 2750 yen (tax included). The beef was delicious, and there was plenty of it. The bowl came with a mixed vegetable side dish, a Tamago Toji (egg topping), miso soup, and pickles. Overall, I felt that the prices were a bit high, but I was satisfied. Thank you very much.

I visited a restaurant with my cousin who had just returned from France before going to the art museum for lunch. The restaurant was located right by the Shirakawa River, and the entrance was wide open on a sunny day. We enjoyed our meal while looking at the peaceful river and being surrounded by fresh air. The prices were a bit high, but it was understandable as it was part of a famous chain. My cousin was delighted by the Japanese atmosphere filled with charm. She said she would like to come back with her foreign friends.

I ordered gyudon for lunch. Despite being beef, it had a refreshing aftertaste which impressed me. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and they even kindly took a commemorative photo with my friend. I am also curious about their breakfast menu, so I would like to visit again someday during a trip.

On a regular Wednesday at 8:00, the restaurant wasn't crowded. It is a branch of Wakuden, located near Higashiyama Station on the Tozai Line. The customer had made a reservation over the phone the day before. Breakfast is served in two sessions from 8:00 to 9:00, and customers can enter 5 minutes before opening. The "Tan" breakfast set costs ¥2750 including tax and includes Tanba steamed vegetables, heshiko grilled fish, special rich egg, seasonal salad, homemade pickles, rice (free refills), and miso soup. The heshiko was incredibly delicious! After the meal, customers can go to the second floor to help themselves to coffee or orange juice. The service was very polite and attentive, and overall it was a very satisfying experience. Thank you for the meal.

I found a restaurant while looking for a breakfast option other than hotel or Starbucks breakfast during my trip to Kyoto. I visited Mr. Tan for breakfast, located along Shirakawa-suji. Customers start arriving around 9:00, with an earlier seating at 8:00. The seating style is around a large table in the center of the first floor. I wondered where the kitchen was as they prepared the meal from the side of the table. The menu focuses on vegetables grown using natural farming methods. The vegetables have a strong flavor, with mild seasoning. The rice is delicious. After the meal, we were recommended to go upstairs, where you can enjoy self-serve coffee while admiring the tranquil scenery. I had a delicious breakfast in a pleasant atmosphere in the morning, which put me in a great mood to have a wonderful day.

Located along the Shirakawa River, this casual Japanese restaurant in the Waku Den series is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made a reservation for 8 am and was greeted by two female staff members. There were two other groups of young women dining as well. I quickly finished three bowls of rice and left. The food was of high quality, but overall it was just average. I'm not a big fan of clay pot rice dishes either.
