I have conquered quite a bit of Kameoka, but I didn't know there was such a restaurant - I found this place on SNS. I had some errands to run in Kameoka and decided to visit this place by making a same-day reservation. It's a bit off the main road, in a building that looks like a private house with parking available. Even though I wasn't very hungry, I ordered the 1850 yen Kyoto vegetable meal, which was surprisingly luxurious. It included sashimi, chilled chawanmushi, shrimp and vegetable tempura, mixed rice, red miso soup, and coffee jelly for dessert. The sashimi was especially impressive, packed with a variety of types. The meal also included rolled omelette, potato salad, chicken and cucumber, taro, yuba skewers with duck or abalone, raw gluten, mountain yam, sea bream sushi, sesame tofu, and shinjo, among other items. I was already full by the time the tempura arrived - hot and delicious shrimp and vegetable tempura. And just when I thought I couldn't eat anymore, the mixed rice and red miso soup were served. The mixed rice contained burdock, carrots, and fragrant fresh ginger. I would have ordered more if I had room in my stomach. Just when I thought it was over, they served coffee jelly for dessert. All of this for 1850 yen - what a great deal! The restaurant has a calm atmosphere, and since I was dining alone, I sat at the counter. It was a great value for the price!

We visited this restaurant with our family for the first time in a while. Every dish was carefully prepared and delicious, with just the right balance of flavors. The steak was very tender and tasty, and the sauce on the Kamo eggplant was elegant. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

On my way to Izumo Taisha Shrine, I stopped by for lunch! I ordered the 2,200 yen kaiseki course, which was very cost-effective! Every dish was delicious and I was completely satisfied. I would love to visit this restaurant again in the future.

I enjoyed a relaxing atmosphere and was able to savor my meal slowly. Each dish was beautifully presented and I think it is reasonably priced.

"Luo Cai" Kameoka Chiyo River A reasonably priced restaurant where you can enjoy delicious kaiseki cuisine. The restaurant is a bit hard to find, almost like a regular house. I visited a few years ago and was impressed by how each dish was carefully prepared and delicious. So, I decided to use it for our class reunion. The 3000 yen kaiseki meal was full of eye-catching dishes from the appetizers to the main course, all delicious. They really bring out the flavors of the ingredients and the broth is also delicious. The food is not only delicious but also warms the heart. By the end of the meal, you will be full and satisfied. I definitely want to use this restaurant again next time.

I revisited the restaurant quickly. The last time I had a good impression, and it's reasonably priced and filling, so I used it for a lunch on a working holiday. The menu is the same as last time, with no small side dishes, the "kaiseki lunch" for 2,100 yen. The dashi here suits my taste, so everything I eat is delicious. The miso-marinated fish this time was a bit light in flavor. The steamed mackerel was replaced with chawanmushi. Topped with aonori. I love nori, so I finished it all. The mixed rice is a bit low in moisture, but it's fluffy and quite impressive. The dessert pudding was better than last time. If it's this pudding, then it's okay. I hope they introduce matcha pudding or something to change things up. I visit here frequently, so I would be happy if they could change the details. Maybe even at 1,575 yen at Matsukado, it might be enough... Well, I'm full. Thank you for the feast. There were customers having a party with their neighbors, and even as closing time approached, customers kept coming. It's a popular place in the local area. There are both counter seats and tatami seats. Below is the previous review for a restaurant in Chiyogawa-cho, located north of Kameoka City. There weren't many good restaurants nearby, and I was at a loss for lunch options, but a friend recommended "Rakuna" in Chiyogawa, so I went there. I had the 2,675 yen lunch. Appetizers were served in a basket, with various side dishes such as rolled omelette, bite-sized sushi, burdock rolls, miso-marinated salmon, nuta, and Japanese-style hamburger... piled high. If they served it with rice, it would be enough. The portion was large! I didn't have high expectations for fish in Kameoka, but it was fresh. At this point, the cost-performance ratio is amazing. I thought, is this enough with rice and miso soup? There was so much food. The rolled omelette and miso-marinated salmon were well done. Each had a different intensity of dashi, so it was enjoyable without getting tired. The sashimi portion was large! The sashimi was fresh. The tempura was cooked medium-rare, which I think is skillful. Unfortunately, the oil wasn't drained well. However, the vegetable tempura was delicious! The sesame tofu was average... it lacked a bit of salt, but you could feel the sesame oil towards the end. Maybe the wasabi was too overpowering. It might be better to reduce the wasabi a bit and add a little more salt. The tempura was cooked medium-rare, and the vegetables were delicious! The pork simmered in soy sauce and sugar had a very good balance of flavors and was delicious. It might be even more refined if they reduce the fat a bit. The mixed rice was also lightly seasoned, but the rice itself was very tasty. The water is good, and Kameoka rice is delicious. I like Koshihikari rice. Kameoka is currently trending with Kinuhikari, but I like Koshihikari. It had the right amount of moisture for my taste. Thank you for the feast. The dessert was a small pudding. This was average. I think it would be better to finish with something light like warabimochi with kinako. I was about to burst with fullness. It's a surprising cost-performance ratio. It's less than half the price in Kyoto city. I might visit this place frequently now that they have a 1,500 yen option with smaller portions. I have something to look forward to in Chiyogawa. The chef is a young and nice person. You can feel at ease at the counter.

I went to Rakuna, which is rumored to be fully booked during lunchtime. The lunch crowd consisted of families and housewives. I went with my child, and since I had made a reservation, they served our food first and even provided child-friendly chopsticks. They also had children's chairs, which was much appreciated. There was a sunken kotatsu table available, if it's not taken? While there were no private rooms, there were partitions that allowed us to enjoy our meal without being bothered by other customers. They also offer "private reservations" in the evening, which seems to be popular for year-end parties, New Year's parties, and welcome/farewell parties. However, evenings are relatively quiet. The kaiseki dishes were all very elaborate and beautifully presented. The appetizers alone looked delicious. The garden was well-maintained and added to the enjoyment of the meal and the view. They seem willing to pack up leftovers for you. Lunch prices range from ¥1,575, but the ¥2,000 lunch seems to be popular. When I visited, it seemed like everyone had ordered the ¥2,000 lunch. Dinner prices range from ¥3,000. Alcoholic drinks were relatively affordable. They also offered coffee after the meal. Overall, it felt like having a kaiseki meal at home. A cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
