After leaving Matsuo-san, we continued walking towards Demachiyanagi. As we looked at the town and confirmed with my husband, "Oh, this is near Nakamuraya, right?" he asked if I wanted to buy something. I answered, "Yes! I want to buy something." I had seen an article in a magazine introducing a new product released here. The new product is sweet and savory simmered small pieces of fried tofu packed in a bottle. I was drawn to it because I had previously enjoyed the Sukeroku sushi here, which was very delicious, and the new product with fried tofu looked very appealing, with a cute label on the bottle. I hadn't made a reservation, but I decided to visit anyway with the mindset that if I couldn't buy it, it was okay. When I opened the door, the owner came out from the back. I asked if I could get the bottled fried tofu without a reservation, and he said, "Yes, how many would you like?" I was relieved that I could buy them! I got two bottles. He mentioned that if they have stock, they can provide it without a reservation, but due to the various magazines featuring the product, many people buy in bulk, so it's better to call ahead. He also explained the recommended way to enjoy the bottled fried tofu. Of course, it's delicious on top of freshly cooked rice, but the most popular way is as a topping for warm udon noodles in hot broth. The owner was very kind and gave me some tips. I took a photo of the impressive helmet displayed, which he said was more valuable than the white horse next to it. Back home, I immediately tried the fried tofu on freshly cooked rice, and the rich, sweet, and savory flavor stimulated my appetite. My daughter exclaimed, "It's sweet and salty and delicious!" She enjoyed it. Since the flavor is strong, it would probably taste great paired with slightly tangy sushi rice. I didn't try it on udon yet, but I will soon. It also has a good shelf life, so it seems like a nice souvenir. The Sukeroku sushi was also delicious, so I plan to make a reservation and visit again when I'm in the area. Thank you for the meal!

Sushi takeout specialty store called Nakamura-ya. Reservations are required by the day before. We wanted to try the delicious sushi from Nakamura-ya, so we made a reservation. On a certain weekday at 11 o'clock, my husband and I visited for the first time. When we greeted them and gave our names, the owner and his wife came out with a smile. We ordered three servings of Nakamura-ya sushi in one large paper bag. Instead of ordering one serving each for three people, we ordered three servings in one. It looked luxurious and was actually a bit of a deal. This is very important. The sweet fried tofu was delicious. The flavoring was slightly strong. I love inari sushi. The Nakamura-ya sushi is made only with plant-based ingredients, yet it is full of umami and richness, very satisfying to eat. The store looks like an ordinary house, with just a small sign that says "Nakamura-ya". We parked our car at Hyakumanben and walked to the store, following the map, feeling like we were on a treasure hunt.

Reservations are required in advance. It is quite difficult to find without looking at a map as it looks like a regular house. I tried the Assorted Sushi. The sizes were small and simple but delicious! The cucumber and pickled radish rolls, and the fried tofu sushi were especially good. The fried tofu sushi had a rich color and a strong taste of fried tofu. Thank you for the meal!

This is a review of the restaurant "Nakamuraya" in Hyakumanben, Kyoto. The location is a bit hidden in a back alley near the Hyakumanben intersection, and it might be hard to find without checking beforehand on a website like "Tabelog". You need to make a reservation by phone in advance, even on weekends. When you enter the restaurant, you will see a friendly lady working alone in the back, who will hand you the ordered sushi. The sushi, known as "Juroku sushi", consists of thin rolls and fried tofu pouches filled with rice. The rolls are slightly longer than usual, with crispy seaweed, cucumber, and vinegared rice that tastes simple yet delicious. It would be nice to have some pickled vegetables like "shibazuke" to add more Kyoto flavor. The fried tofu pouches are small but packed with a strong sweet and savory flavor. Overall, the "Juroku sushi" is simple yet offers a deep traditional taste. It was a delicious meal.

Successfully reached the summit of Oogata Mountain. Sweet fried tofu and three types of sushi rolls that will satisfy your body.

On TV, I saw that Nakamura Shibikan was visiting a shop near the full moon of Ajari Mochi, so as a fan of inari sushi, I wanted to try it. I made a reservation the day before and visited the shop. Even though the exterior might be easy to pass by without noticing, the atmosphere was nice and the owner was very friendly and escorted me outside after my visit. I ordered the Juroku sushi and only inari sushi, and enjoyed them on a bench in the forest of Kizuna. The inari sushi had a gentle sweetness and sesame flavor that made me want to eat more. The Juroku sushi included kappa maki and takuan maki, and had a simple yet nostalgic taste. I hope this shop remains unchanged and that young people also get to know about such sushi. It's important to preserve traditional and old-fashioned flavors that should not be lost.

I had heard that you could only order them at the South Theater, but a friend made a reservation for me in advance. They were delicious, and even though we were told to only have one box each, I secretly ate two boxes.

I ordered Inari Sushi and Juroku Bento. Inari Sushi comes in a serving of 8 pieces, with a quite sweet flavor that spreads in your mouth when you chew, perfect for a snack. I had it for lunch, but it could also work as a snack. This is my second time trying it, and it's still delicious. Juroku Bento includes 9 pieces of Nori Maki and 3 pieces of Inari Sushi. If you prefer a bit less sweet Inari Sushi, this is the one for you. The Nori Maki is also quite tasty. *Reservation required at least one day in advance (either in person or by phone).

Even while checking in, being able to take a bite and eat, the best is incredibly delicious cucumber rolls, shinko rolls, and various types of inari sushi. All of them are delicious.

It seems like a shop commonly used for visiting someone's room or for tea parties, with dishes like Assorted Sushi and Inari Sushi being perfect for eating while helping out. The Inari Sushi, with the deep-flavored fried tofu pouches, was particularly delicious.

Nakamuraya requires reservations to be made the day before, they won't sell sushi if you contact them on the same day (I tried twice). I made a reservation for Juroku sushi, getting 3 servings in one plate. Each serving costs around 900 yen. The plate included Kappamaki, Shinkomaki, and Inarizushi. The Inarizushi was delicious, with Kappamaki and Shinkomaki complementing it well. The quality of the nori used was excellent. The Inarizushi had a rich flavor, and eating it in between Kappamaki and Shinkomaki created a good balance. Overall, the Juroku sushi was impressive, showing that you can succeed by mastering one thing. The portion size of the plate was a bit small, but getting 3 servings in one plate might be more cost-effective.

This time, my daughter's late-night snack souvenir is this Asshi Roku. I had bookmarked it after seeing it on a TV show featuring Kyoto before. Reservations are required in advance (by the day before). I held the map tightly and headed from the Hyakumanben bus stop. I arrived without getting lost, but the traditional townhouse with a longhouse style did not have a curtain hanging. Upon closer inspection, I confirmed that it was the right place as it said "Nakamuraya" above the sliding door. I opened the creaking door and called out, "Excuse me," and the lady of the house came out from the back. When I mentioned my name, she said, "We've been expecting you," and prepared Asshi Roku in a paper bag for me. From the entrance, the back seemed to be a living room, not exactly a store, giving a glimpse of everyday life in Kyoto. What caught my eye was the helmet displayed in the alcove on the right side! When I commented, "It's a very splendid helmet," she replied, "The horse at your feet is more precious than the helmet." This Asshi Roku was particularly impressive with its wrapping paper. It makes sense that it is often used as a gift for Kabuki actors. Upon returning home and opening the package, I found three small triangular Inari sushi, kappamaki, and yellow pickled radish rolls inside. The fried tofu of the Inari sushi was quite sweet. It reminded me of the nostalgic Inari sushi I ate in my childhood made by my grandmother. Since my family likes sweet Inari sushi, I gobbled them up! The pickled radish rolls had a refreshing taste, which was a nice accent. As I left the shop, I noticed that the workshop of Mangetsu, the maker of Ajari mochi, was right next door @@ Wait, right in front of it was the main store of Mangetsu. Oh, I've been to this place before. Thank you for the meal!

I passed by this place many times but had no idea there was a shop here. Using the "Ajari Mochi" sign as a landmark, I checked the map and still wondered if this was the right place. It looked like a normal house when I opened the door with a creak. Inside, there was a traditional earthen floor. The small Inari sushi was sweet and I could eat it in one bite. The pickles and cucumber seaweed roll had a firm seaweed wrap, unlike any seaweed I had tasted recently. Reservations are required the day before. I brought these as a travel snack, but I would like to purchase them again in the future.

I enjoyed a weekend trip to Kyoto, exploring the sights and trying out different foods. The weather was nice and there were many tourists at places like Fushimi Inari Shrine and the Gekkeikan Sake Museum. For dinner, I had delicious Samgyeopsal and Pudetige at "Vegetejiya Shijo Karasuma" where the famous Samgyeopsal evangelist is located. I also finally got a reservation for "Sukeroku Sushi" which I had been wanting to try. The handmade Sukeroku Bento from Nakamuraya near Ajari Mochi Honpo was delightful, with small Inari sushi and nori rolls. The packaging with Sukeroku holding an umbrella was impressive. The sweet flavor of the simmered tofu mixed with vinegar rice was unique and tasty. The nori rolls with pickled radish and cucumber were elegant and delicious.

Today, I left work in the afternoon and went to Nakamuraya, where I had made a reservation over the phone yesterday. It's near Mangetsu-san, where I got off the city bus at Momoyama. I had Juroku (860 yen) and Inari Sushi (860 yen). Juroku included 3 pieces of Inari sushi, 6 cucumber rolls, and 3 pieces of new ginger. Inari Sushi had 8 pieces and was delicious. There were beautiful wooden hina dolls displayed in the store, as well as Buddhist statues made by an old lady. You need to make a reservation in advance to buy them. Thank you for the meal.

For over 7 years living in Kyoto, I had never heard of this restaurant. I found out about it in a book that introduces delicious food in Kyoto. However, as others have mentioned, the restaurant was very hard to find and I had a lot of trouble getting there. It was just a regular house. If it weren't for the famous Ajari mochi shop Shougetsu, I would have had a really hard time finding it. But once I entered the seemingly ordinary house, I was greeted by a wonderful smell. There was a sign saying it was a go-to place in Fushimi, which made me realize it was a long-established restaurant. When I got home and had the food for dinner, the smell of seaweed hit me as I opened the lid, and there were delicious takuan rolls, kappamaki, and beautifully colored inari sushi. The inari sushi, especially the very sweet one, was delicious. Although it's a bit of a hassle to make a reservation the day before, I highly recommend this restaurant.

I had heard rumors about this Inari shrine for a while, and I finally had the chance to try it out. After dining at the Kappo Yoshizen in Kyoto, I ended my night of club activities in Gion with a visit to Miyayuki at Gion. I tried their Assorted Inari with 3 pieces, Kappamaki with 6 pieces, and Oshinko with 3 pieces. The Inari had a stronger sweetness than I had imagined, with a noticeable presence. It was comforting. The crispy Kappamaki left a refreshing texture, and the Oshinko roll had a gentle flavor. The seaweed was a firm type. Each dish had its own unique characteristics and was quite interesting. I would love to visit again in the future.
