I informed them that I would be 30 minutes late, but they kindly accepted it, which was a great relief. Of course, this meant we had less time to eat, but the meal was still very satisfying. The sake stew and the fried Shogoin radish were especially delicious. I will definitely come again. Thank you very much.

Everything was delicious. I discovered that the vegetables I usually eat can taste like this with the right seasoning! I think I'll try to make some of these dishes at home. The dishes were also very cute. I felt both my mind and body were satisfied. I'm glad I made a reservation! Next time, I plan to skip breakfast before coming!

I was planning to visit a store in Ohara, but it was fully booked, so I went to Kamigamo Kirin instead. The atmosphere, service, and of course the food were all fantastic. I was amazed by the freshness of the vegetables and their deliciousness. The word that comes to mind for the obanzai is simply "delicious!" Although it's a buffet-style setup, I appreciated that they quickly restocked the dishes when they were running low. I also enjoyed the thoughtfully served a la carte dishes that were offered at the right moments.

The restaurant features a large table surrounded by 12 seats for buffet-style dining. The focus is on vegetable-based dishes that really highlight the natural flavors of the ingredients, offering a satisfying experience. Guests can serve themselves from a selection of small plates filled with various side dishes. Each person is also provided with small rice balls, rolled omelets, meatballs, and dessert in the form of warabi mochi. Everything was very delicious.

- ̗̀京野菜のおばんざいビュッフェ‎ ̖́-‬ I've had my eye on this place for a while, and I finally managed to make a reservation for Saturday!٩(๑>ᴗ<๑)6● It's located right in front of Kamigamo Shrine, so it's easy to find. ● The dining system is completely reservation-based. You start with three perfectly sized rice balls, a hearty pork soup, skewered meatballs, and rolled omelet, which are served in that order. Afterwards, you can enjoy a buffet of various dishes made with Kyoto vegetables! It’s fun to pick out a small plate before grabbing the side dishes. ♬.*゚ There were so many things I had never eaten before, like fried Shogoin daikon and sansho curry. I tried a little bit of everything! Ψ( 'ч' ☆) I want to come back in a different season next time! ♡

I made a reservation for three people at 11:00 via Tabelog. I was curious to try it because it was featured on "Chachai-re Monday." The time limit for our visit was 75 minutes. Upon arriving before 11:00, there were about eight people already there. We all sat around a large table, and since we were at the corner, one of us faced a different direction than the two others. There was a seat left open between us and the group next to us, which was considerate (though it might vary depending on the crowd). The staff informed us that they would explain the buffet once everyone was seated together with the other group. They brought us rice balls and miso soup to our seats, and these could be refilled. We would also receive egg roll and tsukune, but those were not refillable. At the buffet area, we took a tray and then arranged small plates on our tray. The small dishes had various cute designs, and I found that grabbing a larger salad plate made it easier to serve the salad. Next, we chose our dishes and placed them on the small plates. At the end of the line, there were white rice and curry, but since the rice balls were served first, no one initially took curry. When we went for a second round, the staff cleared our trays and plates, allowing us to grab new ones for the next round. A few new dishes had been added. As for the taste, all the dishes were lightly flavored and delicious. I was surprised by the stuffed peppers, which had raw peppers that weren't bitter at all, and the meat had a slightly sweet flavor. There was also a deep-fried dish made with daikon, lightly salted and tasty even without any sauce. The miso soup of the day was tonjiru, satisfying with plenty of eggplant. The sansho key curry wasn’t very spicy, so even someone like me who usually eats sweet curries found it enjoyable. The daikon from the oden was thick but tender, with a gentle flavor from the broth. I tasted everything, but I regretted my small appetite. I wanted to grab more of the pickled daikon for an ochazuke at the end. While none of the dishes were overwhelmingly delicious, they all showcased the flavors of the ingredients well. The light seasoning meant I could eat a lot without getting bored. The dessert was a delightful mochi-like warabi mochi. For payment, we could use PayPay, and each of us paid separately. As for the ambiance, we had a view of the large torii gate of Kamigamo Shrine from our window. The restroom was clean and well-maintained, with enough space without being cramped. There seemed to be a higher ratio of women among the customers, but there were also two men present. The age group was generally older on this day (maybe due to it being a weekday or the location?). I recommend this place for anyone who wants to eat plenty of vegetables, enjoy a variety of obanzai dishes, or have a slightly luxurious lunch after visiting Kamigamo Shrine. A note of caution: the teapots provided for each group have wide spouts, so be careful pouring; we all spilled tea on the table! Give it a try!

The fresh vegetables from Kyoto are truly delicious. The rolled omelette is very tasty, but it's just one bite—it's a shame there's no second serving. The chrysanthemum leaves are also very delicious. The miso soup with plenty of ingredients is great. It's unfortunate that there's no second helping of the dessert, the warabi mochi. Desserts are a different story; I feel a bit unsatisfied.

I felt like I was eating healthy meals, and all the side dishes were delicious. It was great that I could have seconds of the rice balls and pork miso soup. They kept replenishing the side dishes whenever they ran out. The staff member who prepared the dishes was very nice. The other staff seemed a bit busy, though, haha. The price was a bit high, but it seems that lately, healthy lunches tend to cost around this much, so I guess it’s just how it is.

We were on a family trip with a large group of twelve, and it was quite challenging to make a reservation for a restaurant. When I discovered that the restaurant we had previously visited in Ohara had a location in Kamigamo, I found out that they could accommodate exactly twelve people (it was reserved for us!). The only available time was 2 PM, but since we were sightseeing, it ended up being a perfect time. The food was absolutely exquisite! I've recently developed a dislike for meat, so I was thrilled with the menu. It reminded me just how delicious vegetables can be. The refillable tonjiru (pork miso soup) was especially good—I ended up refilling it three times! Unfortunately, I was so full from the set meal that included three rice balls and curry that I couldn't have much of a vegetable refill. However, I had requested a birthday plate when making the reservation. We were celebrating the birthdays of my nephew and niece, as well as an adult birthday and a job celebration for three people, and the birthday plate was fantastic! I was so overwhelmed with joy that I was in tears (T_T) lol. The staff were all very friendly, and this lunch really turned into a wonderful memory for our family trip.

I recently went out for lunch with my wife for the first time in a while. We visited a restaurant where we had a reservation for the first seating at 11:00. It was a stylish place with a unique concept, limited to just 12 people for the first seating. We dined around a large wooden table, surrounded by 12 people. It was quite a refreshing experience. As we enjoyed our meal, we didn’t pay much attention to the people across from us. The dishes featured vegetables that seemed to enhance their deliciousness. Everything was tasty. I might have never thought vegetables could be this delicious before.

I heard that a sister restaurant of Ohara's Kirin, which usually requires a long wait without a reservation, has opened, and I was pleased to find out that you can make a reservation! I was really looking forward to visiting. It's conveniently located right in front of Kamigamo Shrine. The place is small, but there is a wide variety of dishes prepared, and I loved being able to choose from colorful small plates to create my own arrangement; it really lifted my spirits! The staff were also very pleasant. However, there are some differences compared to the Ohara location. First, the offerings vary. While Ohara serves a buffet of rice balls and side dishes, this place offers freshly made dishes. I enjoyed daikon radish omelet, chicken tsukune, warm soba noodles, and warabi mochi. Everything was delicious. Of course, the price is also different; this costs 3,000 yen, while Ohara was in the low 2,000 yen range. However, since I received tasty dishes, I have no complaints about that. What concerned me the most was the seating arrangement. Instead of individual tables, there's a large table surrounded by everyone. Coincidentally, the group sitting directly across from me was a loud group of women who kept talking at a high volume, which I had to listen to throughout the meal. It was such a shame because the food and service were excellent. Well, it's not the restaurant's fault. If I'm spending 3,000 yen, I'd prefer to go to a slightly more tranquil place.

There is a buffet-style restaurant located in front of the Torii gate of Kamigamo Shrine. The concept focuses on deliciously enjoying Kyoto vegetables. The dishes are served in cute containers, which makes choosing the right one a delightful challenge. I highly recommend the stuffed bell peppers and the keema curry. Although the prices are a bit high, I believe the satisfaction you get is worth the cost.

There's a buffet restaurant at the entrance of Kamigamo Shrine that serves delicious Kyoto vegetables. It operates on a completely reserved basis, so you need to make a reservation. I recommend visiting Kamigamo Shrine by first enjoying a grilled rice cake, then offering a prayer, and concluding with lunch at Kamigamo Kirin. Every dish is tasty, and the beautiful serving dishes enhance the overall experience. I particularly recommend the keema curry and the bell peppers.

You can enjoy a buffet-style side dish loaded with plenty of vegetables. In addition, there are two standard side dishes, as well as three types of rice balls and kuromitsu warabimochi (sweetened bracken starch dumplings). Everything was delicious, but the stuffed green peppers with meat miso, which are not stuffed with meat but rather have meat miso placed on raw peppers, really highlighted the sweetness of the green peppers and was especially tasty. It is a bit pricey, but I think it's perfect for those who want to eat to their heart's content.

You can enjoy a buffet featuring about 15 kinds of vegetable-based "obanzai." In addition to the buffet, mini rice balls, the day's miso soup, and rolled omelet are served as part of a course, making it very satisfying in terms of volume. The course dishes change daily, so be sure to look forward to what’s on offer that day.

I am a big fan of Ohara Kirin, and I finally had the chance to visit Kamigamo Kirin. I enjoyed the daily special menu which included three types of rice balls, pork soup, scrambled eggs, shumai, and a dessert served individually, along with a buffet style selection of vegetables. The buffet menu felt different from what I experienced in Ohara, but it was definitely delicious. The eggplant fries were piping hot and melty, and I highly recommend them. The key ingredient of the spicy keema curry was just perfect! While Ohara's lemon chicken curry is exquisite, I must say this keema curry was the best I've ever had. There was a higher proportion of meat and fish compared to Ohara, making it very satisfying. All the dishes featured delicious vegetables, and I was completely satisfied. With only 12 seats available, I believe it's essential to make a reservation if you plan to visit. I am definitely planning to reserve again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Since it was a weekday, I hadn't made a reservation, but they were able to accommodate me. The dining was split into two sessions, one at 11:00 and the other at 12:30, each lasting 75 minutes. Since I arrived after the starting time, the staff checked with me to see if it was okay. The restaurant has a large table where everyone gathers around, able to seat up to 12 people. The atmosphere inside is calm and quiet, with lots of greenery, reflecting a natural style. As the restaurant serves dishes featuring Ohara vegetables, it probably captures the essence of the area as well. The menu for the day included a variety of dishes along with a buffet offering around ten different options. The focus is on vegetable-based obanzai, and there was also curry available. Everything was delicious and there was a generous amount, so I felt quite full afterward. However, younger men might feel somewhat unsatisfied due to the lack of meat options. The price is a bit steep for lunch, at 3,000 yen per person, so I would recommend this place for those who want to enjoy a leisurely meal—especially adults. It was a delightful experience. Thank you for the meal.

It was the day of the Aoi Matsuri, so I made a reservation about a month in advance. There were a lot of people waiting outside. Once inside, I got to choose my favorite plate and enjoyed a delicious vegetable buffet and curry. While sitting down, they brought over adorable three-color rice balls (with free refills), a hearty egg omelet, shumai, pork miso soup with seri, and a warabi mochi parfait. I was completely full, and my friend who came with me was also very satisfied. If you visit Kamigamo Shrine, be sure to make a reservation and experience it for yourself!

I visited before the Aoi Matsuri festival. First, I was able to serve myself as much as I wanted from a variety of vegetable-based obanzai dishes. Along with that, they provided bite-sized rice balls, a daily side dish, miso soup, and dessert separately. The obanzai dishes, which could be refilled, were all creatively prepared and surprising. The rice balls and miso soup were also delicious, and refills were available. I felt the flavors were a bit on the stronger side. The staff promptly cleared my dirty dishes and happily assisted with refilling the rice balls and tea, which made for a pleasant experience. I would definitely like to visit again.

Despite being a buffet, everything was delicious. I ate until I was full, but since the dishes were vegetable-centered, they were gentle on my body. It was my first time visiting, and I definitely want to come back. The tables were spacious, and the atmosphere was calming.
