I made a reservation on a regular day. I don't remember how I found out about it, but probably through Tabelog (a restaurant review website) haha. Tanukikoji is a narrow street with a nice atmosphere. I often pass by on Tuesdays, and it seems like many shops on this street are closed on Tuesdays, so I always used to just walk past. The theme of this restaurant is offal and organ meats, served in a course menu that changes depending on the day's ingredients. The result was really great. It was early, so we had the place to ourselves haha. The interior is not very spacious, but I heard there is a second floor as well. The first floor has only a counter, and you can kind of see the cooking area. The plating might be a bit hard to see, but the kind chef serves at your pace. I took a picture of the menu, but it feels like it doesn't do it justice haha. The seasoning was a mix of Japanese and Western flavors, or you could say a mix of old and new, a variety of tastes. The basics are Japanese cuisine, but it seems to change daily. Tongue and harami (skirt steak) are familiar and easy-to-eat offal meats, so no problem there. Other cuts come out as well, but excuse the overused teppan expression... there was absolutely no unpleasant odor. The course menu might be a bit on the smaller side in terms of volume. There is Chinese noodles as the finale, but some might find it insufficient. It was just right for me. The harami sushi was refreshing and you could eat a lot of them. I wanted to try more grilled dishes. They were seasoned with salt and pepper, but they were perfect with wasabi. I don't remember the other two dishes that were served haha. The tongue shabu-shabu in a crispy pot was delicious. Wrap it in mizuna (Japanese mustard greens) and dip it in ponzu sauce for a light taste. You can eat as much as you want. It's a traditional Japanese restaurant where you can casually enjoy seasonal dishes. They will try to accommodate your preferences if you have any. The menu changes based on the ingredients, so it's a bit unpredictable. Oh, the selection of alcohol might be limited. I'm not sure about the brands of sake and shochu. It's understandable given the capacity of the place. However, I thought the hospitality, ambiance, and price were reasonable. I felt more satisfied here than going to a flashy yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) place. Tanukikoji is quite nice!

I decided to visit this restaurant in Kyoto on short notice because my usual go-to places were closed or fully booked. It turned out to be a great decision! The food and service were fantastic, and I had a very satisfying evening. The variety of dishes served in small portions kept me excited to see what would come next. Each dish was delicate and delicious. Even if you're not a fan of offal, you'll be surprised at how there's no unpleasant smell. From appetizers to dessert, every dish was delicious, but the liver with leeks, stew, and crispy hot pot with beef tongue left a lasting impression. A new favorite spot in Kyoto!

When looking for a lunch spot around Shijo Kawaramachi in Kyoto, it can be quite challenging. Many of the places I used to visit allow smoking, but I prefer to dine at a delicious restaurant. However, on weekdays when I don't want to wait in line, I find it convenient that Hachibe near Yanagikoji is not crowded around 1 pm (last order at 2 pm). My wife ordered the beef neck stew (1,700 yen) and I had the hamburger lunch (1,700 yen). We shared a bit of the stew, which had a flavor we both enjoyed. It was nice that dessert and coffee were included. Last year, this restaurant was in the top 5,000 on Tabelog, but this year it doesn't have that title.

I always eat the limited lunch Harami bowl (¥2400), which is a one-bowl meal. The combination of meat and grilled vegetables maximizes the deliciousness. Although it is on the higher end for lunch prices, it is a place I would continue to visit when I want to indulge.

It was early summer, just before dusk, on the second floor by the window. The view was great, and when I opened the window, a refreshing breeze blew in, creating the perfect setting for dinner. The highlight was the course meal of grilled meat, with various types of hormone meats prepared in different ways, all meticulously handled to eliminate any unpleasant smell. The variety of dishes that came out was enjoyable. The only downside was that the portion size of each dish was overwhelmingly small. It would have been better to reduce the variety slightly and increase the portion size of each dish to enhance the dining experience. However, the location of the restaurant was great and the dishes were prepared with care, making it a delightful dinner. Thank you very much!

The dishes are so well-prepared that it's hard to believe they're made from offal. Each part is cooked deliciously. Even if you're not a fan of offal, you'll be fine. The ramen at the end is incredibly delicious. I was amazed by this unique way of eating.

I visited a restaurant in Shin Kyogoku, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto for lunch. It seems like reservations are not accepted for lunch. The interior of the restaurant had only about 7 counter seats. There were around 3 lunch options to choose from. I ordered the hamburger and harami bowl. Lastly, a drink and tea sweets were included.

On a regular day at 11:50, my wife and I visited the restaurant and luckily found two available seats without having to wait. There were three lunch menu options, and I ordered the beef neck stew (1,700 yen) while my wife ordered the beef tongue hamburger (1,700 yen). When asked about the rice portion, I requested a large serving. After a short wait, our dishes arrived. The meat in the stew was very tender, and the sauce was delicious. I usually choose bread with stew, but here they only offered rice. However, the stew and rice paired well and tasted great. When we finished eating, we were asked about drinks, and I ordered coffee, which was freshly brewed and served with dessert. We left satisfied and happy with the meal. Thank you very much!

During the first three days of the New Year, most prosperous restaurants are closed, but this particular one has been open since the 2nd, which is quite impressive. I had been curious about this Michelin-starred yakiniku restaurant for some time, so I headed there with excitement. Crowd Situation: 10 minutes before opening, there were two groups ahead of me. 30 minutes before opening, there was no wait if you were just observing. The number of people waiting was fewer than I expected, but considering the limited seating of 6-7 tables and the time it takes to serve, I was glad I got in during the first round. By the time I left the restaurant, there were about 15 people waiting. If you're in a hurry, it's best to act quickly considering the turnover of the restaurant. Order: I ordered the Omi beef harami bowl for 2400 yen. I wanted to taste the meat as it is for the first piece, so I asked for the sauce to be served separately. After enjoying watching the chef's knife skills, it took about 20-30 minutes for the dish to arrive. The taste of the meat was delicious, but when eaten alone, it was a bit bland, so I started adding sauce from the second piece. While many restaurants just put vegetables as a side, the freshness and quality of the ingredients in this dish were evident. The thinnest slices of meat were the most delicious. The fact that the meat was so thin yet full of flavor made me appreciate the skill and technique involved. After the meal, you can choose between coffee or tea, and dessert is included. The service was pleasant and the atmosphere was cozy. The only downside was the turnover of the restaurant, but on the flip side, it can be seen as a sign of careful cooking. This aspect may vary depending on individual preferences.

During the year-end and New Year holidays, I had a 12-day break. My wife couldn't join me due to work, so I went on a solo trip to Kyoto, Fukuoka, Kumamoto, and Osaka. I arrived in Kyoto during lunchtime and headed to "Onikyu and Hachibei" in Yanagikoji, a horumon (offal) cuisine restaurant that has even won a Michelin star. Although I was tempted by the "beef tongue hamburger," I decided to order the "seasonal vegetable and Omi beef harami bowl." It was cooked very rare and the sauce was amazing. The vegetables were also incredibly delicious. The small dish of heart was also great. For dessert, I had chocolate warabi mochi. The service was excellent, and everything about the restaurant was exquisite. It was a great experience dining there. "Koneko to Issho Plan" https://konekotoissho.blog.jp/

Located a 2-3 minute walk from Kawaramachi, this meat-centric yakiniku restaurant on Yanagikoji Street has earned one Michelin star and a 3.59 rating on Tabelog as of February 19, 2023. Intrigued by the restaurant's focus on meat and vegetables, I decided to visit. They only offer set courses, but you can easily make a reservation even on the day of. The course I had that day cost 8,200 yen and included: Achilles tendon with ponzu sauce, heart and liver Chinese-style, honeycomb tripe with sesame dressing, sushi with beef intestines, liver and tongue, isobeage (fried fish cake), dan go (sweet dumplings), grilled offal (swine stomach, honeycomb tripe, beef tongue, beef cheek), salad, crispy beef tongue hot pot, Chinese noodles as the final course, and dessert. The Achilles tendon had a tough texture and was served refreshing with ponzu sauce and grated daikon. The liver and leek dish was cooked at low temperature in soy sauce, while the tongue was mixed with salted kelp and citrus juice. The various cuts of offal were served without any unpleasant odor, allowing the unique flavors and textures of each part to shine. However, the crispy beef tongue hot pot was average, and the Chinese noodles were overcooked. Despite the restaurant's name emphasizing vegetables ("yasai"), very few vegetables were served. Even the salad portion was minimal, with a limited variety. The portions of each dish were also very small, leaving me feeling only slightly satisfied after finishing the course. While the quality of the meat was good, the overall value for money did not seem to be very high. The service and atmosphere were pleasant, though.

Lunch includes main dish, rice, miso soup, and side dishes. The side dish is heart. This is also good with rice. For dessert, coffee and chocolate warabi mochi. The beef tongue hamburger has a nice texture and is juicy. It is a cozy place where you can spend a relaxing time. #Miyanine and Hassai Hachibe #Beef tongue hamburger #Beef neck stew #Beef tongue #Beef neck #Heart #Chocolate warabi mochi #Kyoto gourmet #Kyoto lunch #Kawaramachi gourmet #Kawaramachi lunch #Foodstagram #Foodstagrammer #Meatstagram #Meatstagrammer #Tabelog #Tabelog high rating #Tabelog rating above 3.5 #Want to connect with people who love to eat #Kyoto #Kawaramachi #Yasaka-dori

They skillfully cook and serve hormone dishes. Even if you're not a fan, I think you'll be fine. I visited with my partner twice and left satisfied. The first floor has only a counter, while the second floor has table seating. If you enjoy chatting with the owner, I recommend sitting at the counter. They only offer set courses, but they will exclude any items you don't like. They serve unusual cuts like heart, liver, tongue, and other parts that I can't remember.

Kyoto trip. In a travel magazine, my husband said, "I want to eat Harami Don." We arrived at around 13:50 on a weekday for lunch. The restaurant had high ratings on Tabelog, and we were relieved to find the Harami Don on the menu! We were welcomed with warm tea. We could choose between regular or slightly smaller portions for the rice. The dish came with miso soup and small side dishes. I wonder what the small pieces of meat on the side dishes were? The Harami meat was delicious with just the right amount of fat. The grilled vegetables were also very tasty, so much so that my husband, who doesn't usually eat vegetables, complimented them saying, "The vegetables are delicious!" The dessert, chocolate warabi mochi, was also delicious.

Overall, the food was delicious, but there wasn't a standout dish that really impressed me, making the lack of cost performance stand out. It may be considered a tourist spot price, but with this quality and content, I can't help but feel it would be overrated if priced at around 5000 yen per person.

When I visited Kyoto on a trip, I made a reservation for the chef's choice course at this restaurant. First of all, the hospitality and service from the owner were fantastic. It was a very hot day, and the air conditioning wasn't working well, but they brought in a fan to help cool us down. The dishes using hormone meat were unique and delicious, with detailed explanations for each one that made the experience even more enjoyable. I am very satisfied.

After the Gion Festival, I had lunch in Shijo Kawaramachi and chose a highly rated meat restaurant. It was a popular place, so I waited 10 minutes before opening to get in. Only 3 groups were allowed in at once, so I was able to relax. I ordered the Omi beef harami bowl. It was cooked rare and served with summer vegetables, making it refreshing. I would like to visit again at night. Thank you for the meal.
