Located near Higashiyama Station, in Okazaki Enshoji-cho, is a charcuterie shop called "Charcuterie." They sell homemade charcuterie (ham, bacon, salami, sausages, pate), French ham, homemade side dishes, French butter, and cheese. They also offer charcuterie and lunch dishes made with charcuterie at their eat-in area. The homemade charcuterie is made using locally sourced ingredients, with pork from Kyoto. They do not use coloring agents (sodium nitrite) and minimize additives, focusing on safety. The shop opened in July 2022. Chef Mr. Kawamura is a skilled professional who has won awards at the Pate Crew and the World Championship Asia Competition. The shop is operated by Enkyo Co., Ltd. It is about a 6-7 minute walk from Higashiyama Station Exit 1. You can find it by heading towards Keage on Sanjo Street, turning left at the Sanjo Jingu-michi intersection, then turning right onto Nio-mon Street, and it's the second block on the right. The lovely shop has a terrace area with a blue shade. Across the street is the Kyocera Museum of Art. I visited during lunchtime and used the eat-in area. The bright interior is decorated with a showcase like a patisserie. They have eat-in tables (2-person tables x 4) in the back left corner. There was only one other group of customers when I arrived, as it was late. The menu is extensive and appealing (prices include tax). Lunch Plate options include Hot Dog (1,540 yen), Croustade (Baguette Sandwich) (1,540 yen), Meat Pie (1,540 yen), Choucroute (2,090 yen), Assiette de Charcuterie (2P, 3,000 yen), and Seasonal Limited (1,540 yen). A la carte options include Sausages (from 650 yen), freshly sliced raw ham and salami (from 750 yen), and today's pate (from 900 yen). They also offer a Mixed Plate of raw ham (2,300 yen), marinated vegetables (500 yen each), baguettes (100 yen each), and desserts (from 500 yen). They also have a selection of drinks like beer, wine, sparkling wine, and champagne. I ordered the following: Lunch Plate Hot Dog (1,540 yen) - Comes with salad, soup, and today's dish (pate). The Hot Dog is made with grilled Sosis Blanc (white sausage) (equivalent to 700 yen/piece) sandwiched in a special French bread. The bread is crispy and fragrant with a good texture. It pairs perfectly with the sausage, which is juicy and light in texture. The Hot Dog was satisfying with a substantial and enjoyable sausage. Today's dish was an Alsatian-style pate made with Alsatian wine. It has a sticky texture and was served with mustard and pickles. The pate had a rich mouthfeel, making me crave wine. The soup was a vegetable onion soup, and the salad included green leaf lettuce, olives, carrot salad, and walnuts. I spent about 40 minutes there and was very satisfied with the generous Lunch Plate. The portion was just right. The contents of the plate made me want to have wine with it on my next visit. I would like to enjoy wine with their dishes on my next visit. At home, we choose charcuterie that does not use coloring agents, and this shop offers products that align with that policy, so it's reassuring. I not only plan to revisit but also consider ordering from this place.

The location is a bit hard to get to, but if it was closer, I would definitely make it a regular spot. I ordered the seasonal lunch menu. Tender pork with mashed potatoes and quinoa or wheat-like grains underneath. It was just a one-plate meal with salad, so I was wondering if it would be enough, but the quinoa or wheat expanded in my stomach and made me full! It's a healthy plate, so I didn't feel guilty at all, and it was really delicious! There is a cafe corner inside the restaurant with only four 2-seater tables. As there are only a few seats, I recommend making a reservation. The showcase has a variety of sausages and hams! I wish it was closer so I could buy some to take home!

I had a hot dog and a meat pie. They were juicy and light, yet full of flavor and very delicious. I had made a reservation in advance, but when I arrived early, they said they didn't accept reservations. However, later I saw other customers who had made reservations.

I was looking forward to visiting this shop, as it is a charcuterie specialty store. It's about a 10-minute walk from Higashiyama Station. Since it's near Heian Shrine, I took a little tour before going in. The menu was quite extensive, so I had a hard time deciding, but I ended up ordering the Choucroute and two glasses of white wine (totaling 3490 yen including tax). The Toulouse sausage was incredibly delicious, but the smoked sausage snack was not that great. I think there was too much sauerkraut. The lady at the table next to me also left some on her plate. The plates were not flat, making it difficult to cut the sausages. The service from the girl was not great either. She didn't refill the water until we asked. It was disappointing that they didn't have a sausage assortment plate.

A deli with a focus on sausages and other meat dishes, with only 8 indoor seats. Despite its appearance as mainly a shop, they actually cook the food well. I ordered the meat pie this time, but the other menu items also look delicious. When you cut the meat pie with a knife, the meat juices come out. The meat and the juices are truly flavorful. I look forward to deciding what to eat next time I come.

Today, I went to the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art to see Marie Laurencin. The wide show this morning mentioned that Kyoto was in chaos with a large crowd of people, and Kyoto Station was crowded. So, let's head to the museum. At Yodoyabashi Station, a special express train was departing, and on the train, there was a typical poster of Hirapaa's Director Okada. Seeing this, I felt like I was really riding the Keihan train. First, I visited the Otani Hombyo to pay my respects. Then, I headed to the Okazaki Museum. The streets were not too crowded, and I could walk leisurely. After visiting the museum, I started to feel hungry. So, I went to Charcuterie, where I had a lunch of red chicken patty and my partner had cassoulet, along with sharing some French ham. The red chicken patty was delicious, with a lot of meat, consomme jelly, and a tasty soup. The freshly cut ham was also very delicious. After enjoying a great lunch on the open terrace overlooking the museum and the greenery, I had a wonderful time at the Marie Laurencin exhibition, where I could appreciate the art without too many people around.

This is my second visit. The meat pie here is delicious, so I couldn't resist coming back. It's a place I want to visit when the weather is warm. They have a few terrace seats where you can eat outside. I ordered the lunch set (meat pie) for 1540 yen. It takes a little time to bake the meat pie, but it's worth the wait. When you cut into it, the meat juices overflow. The buttery aroma and sweetness of the pie, combined with the savory meat, explode in your mouth. The meat inside is charcuterie, so it has a complex flavor. It tastes like pate de campagne. Besides the outdoor seats, there are also a few seats inside the restaurant, and the drinks are reasonably priced, making it a great place to enjoy a drink. I definitely want to visit this place again.

I wanted to eat a meat pie, so I decided to go to Higashiyama. I was the first one to arrive at the restaurant and when I looked at the menu, it said that the meat pie would take about 20 minutes to be served. Unfortunately, I didn't have much time that day, so I had to give up on the meat pie. Instead, I ordered the limited lunch plate. It was a hot potato meat gratin, and personally, it was a great choice for me.

I visited the restaurant around noon for lunch. The eat-in area had only 4 tables and was full, but they told me to wait inside as a table would soon be available. I had pre-ordered the Meat Pie and the winter limited edition Assi Parmentier (country-style gratin), which arrived after a short wait. Both dishes were included in the lunch plate for 1,540 yen including tax. The soup was consommé with beans and vegetables. The salad with olives was delicious. The side dish of jelly was tasty and turned out to be "Jambon Persillé" when I checked the showcase later. The Meat Pie was very juicy with a crispy, flaky crust, and the meat had a nice flavor of vegetables and mushrooms. It was filling but delicious. The country-style gratin had a juicy meat sauce, smooth mashed potatoes, and crispy breadcrumbs, with a simple and gentle flavor. It was also tasty to eat the meat sauce on toasted French bread. I am curious about the sausages and pate, so I plan to try them next time for takeout or eat-in.

Lunch at a charcuterie specialty store after enjoying a meat pie and sightseeing with afternoon tea. Charcuterie includes ham, sausages, and other meat products. The meat pie is made with minced pork and veal in a herb-flavored tomato sauce, with juicy meat overflowing! The tomato sauce had a strong herb flavor rather than a prominent tomato taste. The charcuterie was delicious, and we also enjoyed a variety of salads and soups. The store had limited seating, so we dined on the terrace. It was cold, but we were able to borrow blankets, which was much appreciated.

This is a new charcuterie specialty shop that recently opened near Higashiyama Station. Charcuterie refers to processed meat products such as pâté and sausages, which are sold at this shop. They also have an eat-in space where you can enjoy charcuterie and alcohol. On sunny days, you can have lunch on the terrace while overlooking the torii gate of Heian Shrine. The location is excellent. I visited this shop as I love charcuterie. The chef is highly skilled, having won awards in competitions, so I trust the taste. The lunch set for 1540 yen (tax included) included salad, soup, today's charcuterie, and a choice of meat pie, hot dog, cassoulet, or choucroute (+550 yen). We chose the hot dog and meat pie. The meat pie was absolutely delicious, rich in the flavor of oil and a luxurious spice blend. It had a deep and unique taste, and I definitely want to go back for it. The sausages were also very tasty, with a good aroma and perfect pairing with bread. The salad, soup, and charcuterie were all delicious without compromise. Considering the price, I felt they put in a lot of effort. They serve Foshan Hotel beer, carefully chosen to complement the charcuterie. It's a place where you can enjoy drinking like at a bistro. I definitely want to visit this place again.

Finally remembered the name Charcuterie *\(^o^)/* But then I wrote it as "Carcuterie" in my Instagram stories - I forgot it again! (-.-;)y-~~~ I quickly received a check from Kinakoanko-san and corrected it immediately *\(^o^)/* Thank you very much. Charcuterie is a general term for shops that manufacture and sell processed meat products, with the origin of the word coming from French meaning to cook meat. It's not "Carcuterie"! (◎_◎;) They use only high-quality local pork without using artificial coloring agents and minimizing additives. Since they also offer eat-in options, I went to try it out right away. The eat-in menu costs 1540 yen and you can choose from Castorc, Hot Dog, or Choucroute as the main dish. It comes with a salad, soup, and a daily recommendation. I ordered the Hot Dog and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the bread was *\(^o^)/* Under the sausage was Choucroute, but I wish the mustard flavor was stronger. The soup was small but tasty. The recommended item was the pate, which was also delicious and not too strong in flavor. The staff at the restaurant were very kind and explained things to me in detail when I asked questions. The sausages were also delicious, so I also got some for takeout *\(^o^)/* I will post about that separately.

A small amount but satisfying to the heart. I ended up choosing the seasonal dish after debating between that and the meat pie. It's a taste that I want to enjoy slowly with wine!

The lunch portion was a bit small, so it's good for when you want to eat lightly. The sandwich was delicious. Highly recommended!

The eat-in hours are from 11:00 to 18:00. This time, I took my food to go. There were various types of sausages available, all made with high-quality, fresh pork from Kyoto. I've been wanting to try the Alsatian specialty, Choucroute, which is sauerkraut with sausages, bacon, and other charcuterie. The Knack sausages included Strasbourg sausage, Toulouse sausage, pork shank boiled in broth, bacon, and potatoes. I paired it with white wine, imagining myself on a gourmet tour in Alsace. Cheers to Alsace, it was a great culinary experience!

At Maison de Charcuterie, located in front of Heian Jingu Shrine, I tried Montbeliard kumin and smoked pork sausage with herb-flavored emulsified type, as well as their unique herb-infused saucisson blanc, both of which are emulsified types. The Toulouse black pepper-flavored merguez, originating from the Maghreb region of North Africa, was also delicious. I also had Bibrescas, which is boiled potatoes mixed with shallots, herbs, and white cheese, served with pickled herring. Finally, I tried the Magret de Canard, a Hungarian smoked duck dish. I had been curious about this restaurant for a while, and it did not disappoint. The food was so tasty that it made the drinks go down smoothly. These dishes definitely pair well with wine. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I was told on Line that someone went to this place today, so I decided to check it out! I was planning to eat inside, but unfortunately it was full (there are only three table seats), so I switched to takeout! I got the half size smoked magret duck (1600 yen), pate de campagne (756 yen), and a trial sausage set assortment (1650 yen). Everything had a refined taste, and the sausages were juicy and delicious when you bite into them! The duck was the same... I will go back to buy more and try eating inside next time.

I had a takeout lunch with a 3-piece trial set for 1650 yen from Charcuterie food processing. Finally remembered the name and posted it on social media, but quickly got a message from a reviewer on Tabelog saying it was spelled wrong! They corrected it to Charcuterie and I had to comment saying I finally remembered this word. Boiled and then grilled the meat with potatoes and corn as sides. The rosemary I brought from home is doing a great job! Of course, beer goes well with it. Also had sesame oil pickled cucumbers, whole fried eggplants, and everything was delicious. The restaurant is located along the embankment, but parking is not available so I had to pay for a coin parking, which added to the cost.
