It is located about a 9-10 minute walk east from Exit 4 of Demachiyanagi Station on the Keihan Main Line. When you enter the shop, there are 6 counter seats and 4 tables for 4 people on the 1st floor, and it seems there are seats on the 2nd floor as well. Here, I had the colorful jumbo chicken cutlet set with large rice. Shortly after, the set meal was brought out. It comes with rice and red miso soup. The jumbo chicken cutlet is seasoned with cheese, American sauce (ketchup onion), and grated ponzu. The side dishes include shredded cabbage, lettuce, cucumber, and macaroni with ketchup flavor. The chicken cutlet has a crispy coating with the flavor of chicken, melty cheese, onion-flavored ketchup, and refreshing grated ponzu, making it very enjoyable with the rice. It's also quite filling and satisfying. I'd like to try a different menu next time. Thank you for the meal.

The best cost performance for university students (Kyoto University) must be visited, and it is the best cost performance. You can eat until you are full. The main menu is set meals, but you can also order without rice. This time, we ordered the signature menu of 3-color chicken cutlets (demi, cheese, grated radish) set meal. The three of us who went together are light eaters, so we ordered 2 side dishes (miso chicken cutlet, 3 pieces of fried chicken) and 3 small rice. The fried chicken was cut in half and brought to us because they were large. The total cost for the set meal, 2 side dishes, and 3 small rice was around 2600 yen. Kyoto University students would want to visit every day. This restaurant supports the growth of talents who will support Japan's future through their stomachs.

After walking up Yoshida Mountain, we had dinner at Hyakumanben Highlight. We tried their signature dish, the "Colorful Jumbo Chicken Cutlet." This restaurant is a leading figure in the world of Kyoto chicken cutlets, rivaling Osaka-ya in Senbon Kitaoji. In recent years, they have undergone a generational shift and have improved their menu. The dramatic increase in the deliciousness of their famous chicken cutlet is all thanks to the hard work of their young staff.

This time, it's about the Drive series. I visited Kyoto to collect goshuin stamps. Due to Golden Week, Kyoto was bustling with tourists. I visited several places in the morning, and finally, I was on my way to some restaurants I had researched in advance for lunch, but my schedule got messed up, and it was around 2 p.m. Most of the lunchtime restaurants were already closed, and I was starting to feel a bit worried. However, Highlight was open regardless of lunchtime, so I decided to have lunch there today. Since there is a university nearby, the place was crowded with students. The restaurant was bustling with students and locals even though it was past 2 p.m. Since there was no parking lot here, I parked at a nearby temple and walked over. But it was close by, so it wasn't a long walk. The restaurant was quite spacious as there were about 5 tables and 3 counter seats with some space in between. It seemed like there were also seats on the second floor, but I couldn't confirm. As usual, dining alone, I sat at the counter and checked the menu. I had planned to order the Jumbo Chicken Cutlet Set as per my research, but since it was a student-oriented restaurant, the menu was extensive. However, I decided to go with the popular menu item, the Jumbo Chicken Cutlet Set as planned. After a short wait, it arrived. It was indeed jumbo. The tomato sauce with plenty of onions on top was also generous, and it was delicious with a satisfying texture. The rice portion was also generous, probably to cater to students. The price was very reasonable, considering it was aimed at students. If I were a student, I would probably come here every day to try different items on the menu. Looking at the menu, there was a Jumbo menu that included 2 pieces of Jumbo Chicken Cutlet. I feel like I can take on the challenge, so I would like to try it next time. There were many other dining options around due to the university's proximity, and I saw some other interesting restaurants that I would like to try. When I come to Kyoto again, I would like to explore further. I was able to pay with PayPay, which was convenient. That's all.

I visited the restaurant around 1 pm on a weekday just before Golden Week, and it was about 80% full. As I was traveling alone, I sat at the counter. It was busy, and my bottled beer order was forgotten, but they eventually brought it to me. The chicken cutlet was average but came in a generous portion. The small packet of sansho pepper was a perfect match with the red miso soup. I enjoyed a worry-free lunch without feeling out of place.

Popular restaurant known for their large portions. With both a first and second floor, the capacity is decent and the menu is extensive. The chicken cutlet is famous, and I was debating which flavor to choose when I came across the Colorful Jumbo Chicken Cutlet for 960 yen, so I ordered that. It comes with three different sauces - grated ponzu, ketchup, and sweet and spicy - allowing for a variety of flavors to enjoy. Additionally, there are different types of chicken cutlets that pair well with the sauces. If you're looking for a satisfying and filling meal with the option to enjoy different flavors, this place is recommended.

Established in 1960, this long-standing popular diner in Kyoto offers a wide variety of dishes such as chicken cutlets, fried chicken, hamburg steak, and more. The portions are generous and affordable, catering to the appetites of students in Kyoto. I visited during lunchtime on a weekday and the first floor was full, so I went up to the second floor. The customers included students, businessmen in suits, and many foreigners. The staff were efficient and took my order for the colorful jumbo chicken cutlet with rice and no miso soup, along with a beer. The plate arrived with a huge portion of chicken cutlet, macaroni salad, and regular salad. The chicken cutlet was thick, crispy, and juicy, and came with three different sauces for added flavor. The dish was satisfying and easy to eat, making it a great choice for a hearty meal.

Today, I went on the Keihan train in the morning and got off at Demachiyanagi Station at 11:30. I was planning to buy some bread as a souvenir, but there was a sign saying that they were taking a break. Oh well, not a great start. However, the main event for today is lunch. I headed to Hyakumanben near Kyoto University. I remember when I was little, there were a lot of confusing signs, but I couldn't find any now. I arrived at 11:40. I was directed to the 2nd floor instead of the 1st floor. The counter had about 7-8 seats with enough space for maybe 3 people. I sat at a table, sharing with someone else. I asked the friendly waiter if the Colorful Jumbo Chicken Cutlet set was big. He said it was, but it's fine for men. So, I ordered the Colorful Jumbo Chicken Cutlet set for 910 yen and a beer for 490 yen, making it a total of 1300 yen. I chose a medium portion of rice. The food was served, a plate with 3 chicken cutlets topped with demi-glace sauce, cheese, onion tomato, and grated daikon radish. It also came with ponzu sauce. There was plenty of cabbage and spaghetti as well. Maybe the beer was unnecessary. I finished everything and was really full. It was a delicious meal. I'm curious about trying the katsudon next time.

I went to the highlight dining hall with a million servings of Dekamori story. I was drawn to the colorful jumbo chicken cutlet, but as a middle-aged man, I settled for the jumbo chicken cutlet. The chicken cutlet is definitely huge. Even with a regular serving of rice, it's at the level of a large serving at a normal restaurant. The sauce for the chicken cutlet is an American sauce with ketchup and onions, which is quite delicious. You can adjust the taste to your liking with Worcestershire sauce and mustard on the table. All of this for 730 yen is very satisfying. Thank you for the meal!

A TV show featuring a restaurant known for its large portions was playing in the background. I decided to try the chicken cutlet, but also wanted to taste the fried chicken. I opted for the mixed fry to try both. The food arrived, and it wasn't as overwhelming in size as I had expected. Along with rice and miso soup, I got cream croquette, chicken cutlet, and fried chicken. The fried chicken had the most volume. The dressing on the cabbage was memorable. The special sauce went well with the cream croquette, while the grated daikon radish complemented the chicken cutlet. The fried chicken was crispy and had a good texture. The miso soup was unique with its red miso, but the broth was delicious.

Order: Hamburg steak set meal (810 yen) The size of the hamburg steak, fried food, and salad were all larger than usual. I was surprised by the overwhelming volume and became filled with anxiety about whether I could really finish it all.

Even after the New Year, this place is still bustling with students. Despite prices going up for many things, I was surprised to see that the price here hasn't changed. For 730 yen, you get this much volume. And now they accept PayPay and even offer delivery. It's the same as before, but they're moving forward. I had forgotten about these coupons that I can use as long as there are highlights like this. I'll definitely come back.

I received information that there is a restaurant serving large portions in front of Kyoto University. It seems that their specialty is chicken cutlet. I found out that chicken cutlet is made from breast meat, while fried chicken is made from thigh meat. I visited the restaurant with conflicting feelings - wanting to try the specialty but also wanting to avoid breast meat. The highlight text on the menu looked similar to the font used for cigarette brands. I was seated on the second floor at a counter seat. There were many menu options, but I decided to go with the daily special mixed fry set which included pork cutlet, young chicken fried in grated daikon and ponzu sauce, and fresh fish fry with lemon, along with miso soup and rice for 710 yen. I opted for a large rice portion for an additional 30 yen. In the past, pickled radish was all-you-can-eat, but due to COVID, it is now served upon request to avoid using shared tongs. Inside the counter, preparations for chicken cutlet were underway, with a large amount of chicken being processed and sent down. First, I received rice and red miso soup in a big rice bowl and a small donburi bowl. The mixed fry set was served, including slightly larger than bite-sized pork cutlet, fish fry, and fried chicken. The pork cutlet was topped with demi-glace sauce, fried chicken with grated daikon and ponzu sauce, and fish fry with tartar sauce. I don't usually put lemon on fried chicken, so I didn't use the grated daikon and ponzu sauce. I added a little salt and ate while dipping. I took a bite of the fried chicken. The frying was done perfectly, and you could see the juices seeping out from the bitten section. I tried the tartar sauce with the fish fry. The demi-glace sauce was light and easy to eat. I finished the grated daikon and ponzu sauce first, then added soy sauce and ate it with rice. Even with the large rice portion, it wasn't enough.

I had been wanting to visit this restaurant known for its hearty lunch for a while. I visited on a Saturday and decided to go at a slightly different time. Although there were tables available on the first floor, I was guided to the second floor. The second floor seemed to be the main floor with a counter and tables. The highlight of the restaurant is the jumbo chicken cutlet. However, as soon as I entered the restaurant and saw the daily mixed set menu, I changed my mind... The mixed set on that day included crab cream croquette, fillet cutlet, and fried chicken. The mixed set also had quite a generous portion. I ordered the regular rice portion, which was just right. The miso soup that came with the set was also good. I am planning to go back to try the jumbo chicken cutlet next time!

This place offers a freshly made taste at this price with this volume, which is popular among students. However, the portion was too much for me, and the crispiness of the cutlet was ruined by the moisture from the grated radish. It's inevitable, but the cleanliness of the restaurant was a bit lacking.

I went for the first time. The portion size was amazing. I ordered the colorful chicken cutlet set meal with a large portion of rice. The chicken cutlet was topped with cheese sauce, grated daikon (they also provided ponzu sauce), and American sauce, making it a very satisfying set meal. Everything was delicious. The grated daikon with ponzu sauce added a refreshing touch. If you ask, they will also bring you pickled radish. You can pay with PayPay. Just a note, if you're going with multiple people, you need to mention it when ordering to split the bill for PayPay payment. The portion size might be a bit overwhelming as you get older, but the grated daikon with ponzu sauce does a great job of balancing it out. I would love to go back if I have the chance.

Hello (￣Д￣)ﾉ This is a late lunch series!! Seeking volume, I came to Hyakumanben, and this time, I visited a restaurant from a series that was well received by everyone before, Hyalite Hyakumanben. I arrived around 3 pm. I parked my bike next to the store and entered inside. There are 6 counter seats (3 are available during lunch) and 4 four-person tables, and it seems like there is also a second floor in this store!? It's quite empty at this time. (There were still about 3 people there) I was allowed to sit at an empty four-person table, so I sat comfortably. I looked at the menu, and there are unique items like Yamada Don and Jan Chicken W. This time, the highlight has to be the Jumbo Chicken Cutlet Set for 660 yen! I also added extra rice for 30 yen and tartar sauce for 40 yen. On the table, there was soy sauce, sauce, as well as packaged mustard and sansho pepper, but I couldn't find pickled daikon radish, which is common in other places. After a while, the Jumbo Chicken Cutlet Set (with extra rice and tartar sauce) for 730 yen arrived. It was a huge chicken cutlet on the plate, with extra rice, miso soup, and tartar sauce. Hungry as I was, I dug in immediately! The crispy fried chicken cutlet with ketchup onion American sauce and added tartar sauce was delicious. I mixed in some mustard and Worcestershire sauce as well. I was very satisfied with the meal. The volume of the chicken cutlet and rice was great. Please continue to satisfy the hungry students and dads like me. Thank you for the meal!! PS The Jumbo Chicken Cutlet was truly amazing! This is definitely the highlight here. The last photo is a map of the Dekamori (large portion) stores in Hyakumanben.

Dinner for the day was at "Highlight Momoyama-ten" for the first time. Arrived at Demachiyanagi at 1:00 PM, had lunch at a Chinese restaurant and ate croquettes at a meat shop, so by 6:30 PM, I wasn't very hungry. - Cheese Hamburger Set Meal 820 yen (tax included) I really wanted to have beer (medium) and the cheese hamburger and Yamada bowl, but due to the Corona pandemic, I had to resist the beer. The Cheese Hamburger Set Meal has a difference of 70 yen from the regular hamburger set, but it is covered with so much cheese!!! It doesn't feel like homemade, but it has a unique deliciousness of homemade hamburgers!! This is the type that you will get addicted to after eating it a few times!! The sauce and cheese are also delicious!! The side dishes are onion tempura, macaroni pasta, and raw vegetables with dressing. The onion tempura is like fritters. There were three pieces, so I ate them as they were, with soy sauce and sauce. Soy sauce goes best with it!! The macaroni pasta has a ketchup flavor. The raw vegetables are also delicious!! The red miso soup, it has a nostalgic taste!! The rice is just delicious!! I wonder if you can eat it every day as a Kyoto University student. I wish my son could become a Kyoto University student too. Thank you for the meal!!!

Magazine "SAVVY" (issue released on 2/22) features a special on "Kyoto's Chicken Cutlet." In the second part of the interview at the well-known Jumbo Chicken Cutlet shop "Highlight Momoyama Store," we hear about the founding history from the president. We also get to confirm whether or not the store has become even more delicious in the past three years, something that I personally felt. Exclusive information about Highlight that has never been revealed before!

Highlight Hyakumanben store only! I came here because I heard they have a "Double Mega Portion Colorful Jumbo" dish! I came all the way here after work, so it was dark outside! It was quite far away. Looking at the map, it seems like it's surrounded by Kyoto University and temples! A unique location indeed. I parked at a paid parking lot a little further away and walked to the store. The inside of the store is bustling. Since I was alone, I was seated at the counter. I ordered the "Colorful Jumbo Chicken Cutlet W" with a large portion of rice. This time, I only ordered this dish as it was advertised as a "Mega Portion!" After a while, the dish was served. The plate was huge! You can immediately tell the difference from a regular jumbo portion. The sauces included American sauce, cheese, grated ponzu sauce, and red miso sauce. Now, let's eat! This was my first time trying the "Colorful Jumbo," and it was great to enjoy various flavors in one dish. The American sauce had a perfect tomato sauce taste. The cheese added a rich and creamy texture. The grated ponzu sauce was light and refreshing, while the red miso sauce had a rich and delicious taste. The chicken cutlet, being a double portion, was delicious until the last bite. Next time, I want to try it with miso soup instead! There was also a "Mega Portion Strategy Map" displayed, with 7 stores participating! It was delicious! I will definitely come back again! Note: It seemed like each Highlight store had different colors, which I found interesting. It might be fun to visit each store. - Side dish: 939.5g - Rice: 535.0g - Miso soup: 178.0g - Total: 1652.5g consumed.

I heard that it had the best cost performance, and it was really amazing. I was worried if I could finish it all, but I managed to eat everything. I thought it would be full of Kyoto University students, but there were people of various ages having their meals. I wonder if I can still eat fried food like this in a few more years due to my age. Thank you for the delicious meal.
