Today's lunch was at "Izakaya Asanuma Kuyama Store" in Sagiyama, Kuyama-cho, Kyoto Prefecture. It is a restaurant located at the corner of a intersection on the way from Uji-Yodo Line to Kuyama Danchi. The lunch is only available on weekdays, so it was a rare opportunity to visit this place. Among several shops in the area, it stands out with its red exterior. There is an unpaved parking lot behind the restaurant. Inside, there is an L-shaped counter and a few tables. They offer five different types of seafood bowls for lunch. I chose the most standard option, the "Seafood Bowl" for 770 yen. As a typical izakaya, the complimentary drink was a highball in a jockey glass. It was so hot that the wet towel was frozen, perhaps as a special service. The walls are decorated with large fishing flags for interior design. They also have a tempting menu for sashimi and other dishes for dinner. The food was served promptly. The miso soup had clams as ingredients, which is good for the liver, fitting for an izakaya. The main dish, the seafood bowl, included tuna, sea bream, squid, yellowtail, salmon, scallop, octopus, and green onion, a luxurious lineup of ingredients. As an izakaya, the sashimi was fresh. Izakaya lunch offers great value for money.

I've been curious about the "We serve lunch" sign for a while and finally got the chance to go! The interior of the restaurant is small, with a few tables for 4 people, 2 people, and some counter seats. There are 4 lunch menu options, and I was tempted by the seafood bowl with egg, but I decided to go with a simple seafood bowl without the egg. The seafood bowl arrived quickly and looked very delicious, served with miso soup with clams. The large pieces of fresh seafood on a bed of warm rice were so tasty! The sauce on top was enough to make it delicious on its own. I finished it in no time! The slight crunch of sand from the clams was a fun touch (laughs). I'll definitely come back when I crave seafood bowl again!

As soon as I entered the store, a cheerful lady welcomed me. There were 4 lunch menu options, and I ordered the 【Seafood Bowl】 for 880 yen. It came with yellowfin tuna, red sea bream, amberjack, Mongolian squid, scallop, raw salmon, red shrimp, octopus, and minced tuna on top! It was a generous serving of 9 different types of seafood. If you skip the egg, it's 770 yen. There was also a spicy Yukhoe seafood bowl for the same price. When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised that the bowl was not small, but a proper size! And the seafood was so luxurious, but the egg had a rich color. When I asked where the eggs were from, the cheerful lady said, "I laid them myself, so they're fresh!" It's a secret egg, apparently. Let's dig in! The scallops were delicious, the octopus was chewy, and the shrimp was juicy. There was plenty of rice, and if it was vinegared rice, it would have been even better. The miso soup had plenty of clams. For this price range in this area, I think it's quite delicious. However, the egg was just too good. The seafood was tasty, but the egg was outstanding. My husband forgot to put soy sauce on his rice because the egg was so rich. Apparently, egg over rice is also popular here. I wanted to take home the egg that the lady laid! I should have tried the spicy version to see how it tastes. The portion had plenty of rice, and the pickled cucumber on the side was just right. This seafood bowl lunch from a fish-only izakaya was delicious. I was happy that they opened at 11 am. The evening session starts from 3 pm. There is a gravel parking lot behind the store with space for over 10 cars.

Seafood bowl was 880 yen, I think. Visited with a rating of 3.07 on Tabelog. Parking available. Located near Okamoto Hospital, in the gravel parking lot. Found out that I could eat seafood bowl around here, so I visited immediately. No other customers at the time. The price is very reasonable and helpful. It would be even better if there were more menu options available.

Before heading to Kyoto for work, I made a quick stop for lunch at a restaurant called "Izakaya Asanuma" in Kumiyama-cho. They offer a great deal on a seafood bowl for only 700 yen. The seafood bowl includes yellowfin tuna, red sea bream, amberjack, squid, scallops, red shrimp, octopus, and minced tuna with green onions. It may not feel like a "super high-class" meal, but the familiar taste of the fish makes it feel comforting. The seafood bowl, served with warm rice, satisfied my hungry stomach. The clam miso soup also warmed my body and soul. With a full stomach, it was time to get back to work!

This seafood bowl series features 20 restaurants, including 6 in Nagoya and 14 in Kansai. This weekend, we will visit 3 seafood bowl restaurants in Nagoya. On April 28th, we will open the 2022 Seafood Bowl Showdown - Part 9. In our 2022 new restaurant exploration journey - Part 133, we visited "Izakaya Asanuma" in Uji, Kyoto. We ordered the seafood bowl for 700 yen (excluding tax).

First visit. I arrived at 3 pm as they open at 3 pm, but it was already full! It was crowded with regular customers, who were friendly and fun, so we had a great time drinking together. The food was all seafood dishes, perfect for fish lovers!! The prices were cheap!! And delicious!! I definitely want to go back to this restaurant~

A seafood izakaya that opened on April 28th, 2022. At lunchtime, they only offer four types of seafood bowls. I ordered the "Seafood Bowl (with miso soup)" for 770 yen (tax included). The seafood included yellowfin tuna, red snapper, amberjack, firefly squid, scallops, salmon, red shrimp, octopus, and minced tuna with green onions. The miso soup was made with clams. The toppings had a special sauce on them, but I prefer a stronger flavor, so I asked the staff to add more sauce, and they generously did. The seafood didn't have any fishy smell, but overall, the texture was a bit soft. The staff was quite energetic and friendly.

Seafood bowl with egg for 880 yen. Yesterday I had beef for lunch, so today I had fish. The toppings were tuna, salmon, yellowtail, sea bream, scallop, shrimp, squid, octopus, and minced tuna with green onions. All the toppings were delicious. The amount of rice was generous, so I'm glad I chose the one with egg. If I hadn't, I would have had leftover rice. The miso soup was clam miso soup. It felt like the miso was a bit light, but it was still tasty. I will definitely come back after having the seafood bowl. I am full and satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

Visited in June 2022 ◎ No Tabelog rating at the time of posting (0 reviews) ■ [Limited to 30 servings] Seafood bowl 770 yen (tax included) I visited the newly opened seafood-focused izakaya "Izakaya Asanuma" for lunch on April 28th (Thursday)ฅ^ω^ฅ There is a pretty large parking lot along Kyoto Prefectural Route 15, Uji-Yodo Line (behind the store), and it seems like you can park almost anywhere＼(*>▽<) There are several seafood bowls on the menu with photos displayed in front of the store, including the "Seafood Bowl" that I ordered as planned(๑•̀∀- ) The seating consists of about 7 seats at the L-shaped counter, a 4-person table, and a 2-person table. I ordered the "Seafood Bowl" as planned♪ Since the large serving of rice was free, I decided to go for the large serving(^^; The toppings included yellowfin tuna, red snapper, amberjack, red shrimp, firefly squid, scallop, raw salmon, minced fatty tuna, and octopus. The seafood was all quite delicious and looked luxurious(´౿`) The seafood bowl also came with miso soup with clams and pickles. The miso soup was a bit light in flavor. The rice portion was quite generous, so I ended up with a little rice left at the end, but the pickles came in handy to finish it off(⑅˘͈ ᵕ˘͈) Thanks to the pickles, I was able to finish all the rice( ᵕ̤ૢᴗᵕ̤ૢ ) Thank you for the meal.

I want to try going at night this time!

Gesoshi Oyaki is recommended - a small but cozy place worth visiting.
