JA Zenno produced: Minoru Zenzai incorporates a variety of seasonal side dishes with plenty of vegetable options. You can have unlimited rice, miso soup, and salad, but you cannot have seconds of the "seasonal meal." The "Easy Minoru Set" for 1,100 yen is compact and satisfying with 6 items on the plate: roast beef salad, Tanba black chicken karaage, homemade tofu, seasonal side dish, rice ball with pickles, and miso soup (with unlimited refills - contents may vary). The seasonal side dish featured Shishito peppers this time.

There was already a little line outside before it opened, so I wondered if it was popular? I went in because I was curious ♪ They serve lunch with Kyoto vegetables. Every vegetable was incredibly delicious!!! You can have unlimited rice and miso soup. The lunch menu is reasonably priced.

Kyoto Prefecture-produced pork steamed set 1430 set comes with rice and miso soup, and unlimited refills. The steamed set mainly consists of cabbage, sweet potatoes, shimeji mushrooms, snow peas, and bell peppers, with plenty of vegetables. The pork is chewy and thick, and both the vegetables and pork have a good amount of sweetness and umami on their own, so just a little sesame sauce is enough. It's a healthy set that will fill you up, but you might need extra rice and miso soup to get really full.

On a regular weekday for lunch, I waited 45 minutes to be seated. I chose the most expensive lunch option, which was the mixed rice with fresh ginger. It had a Kyoto-like taste and was very delicious. The price was 3000 yen, which is a bit high for lunch, but worth it for a visit to Kyoto. I just wish the miso soup had a stronger broth.

I went to Kyoto and had lunch with my friends. It was crowded because it was lunchtime, but we were seated after a short wait. I enjoyed eating various small dishes that I love. I was satisfied with the delicious Kyoto vegetables, tofu, and sweet desserts. I left feeling full and happy.

I selected a restaurant at the Porta in Kyoto Station for lunch, and there was a long line! It's really crowded during Golden Week, haha. I couldn't find any other place without a line. By the way, I remembered a restaurant that opened in the space where a ramen shop used to be, in Takashimaya - "Minoru Shokudo". It's a shop that uses safe ingredients certified by JA. There was a small line, so I decided to go there without hesitation. The menu hasn't changed much, but it's understandable that the prices have gone up. Each dish was delicious, and the tempura was crispy and satisfying. I would like to come back again. Thank you for the meal!

I arrived at Minoru Premium Meal with white rice changed to seasonal rice at 14:30 on Sunday. The restaurant was full and there was one group waiting in front of me. I waited for about 15 minutes before entering. The seasonal rice was mixed with bamboo shoots. The tempura included eggplant, sweet potato, chicken, lotus root, bamboo shoots, and snap peas. Everything was very delicious and I was very satisfied.

It had been a while since I had lunch at Kyoto Station, and this time I visited this place. Even though it had just opened, it was almost full, and I was seated at a small space at the end of the counter. I ordered the recommended set meal of the day. The main dish was fried chicken. It was made with chicken breast meat, but it was moist and tender with a gentle seasoning, and it was very delicious.

Now, it's Kyoto Station again. It's become a tradition to have lunch before watching a play. Last time I went to Mange, which is right across, but this place caught my eye too. I arrived 10 minutes before opening and was the 7th in line. Since there were only 6 chairs, I had to stand and wait. I was guided to the counter on the left side as soon as I entered the restaurant. It was a spacious area with 4 seats available, and they said it was okay to use this area more widely. I had decided to go with the Premium Minoru-zan, which includes tempura, side dishes, roast beef, and grilled fish. I also wanted to have a little bit of delicious Japanese sake, so I asked the staff. They mentioned that they have a tasting set of 3 different kinds of sake. When I asked about the quantity, they brought a glass to show me. I inquired if a slightly larger glass was available, and they brought a glass in a masu. The staff was very kind and cheerful. I had the Tomio Junmai Ginjo in a glass. The sake had a slightly subdued aroma of ginjo, with a crisp taste, making it quite a refreshing Junmai Ginjo. Then, the meal arrived. There were many small side dishes! My excitement went up. (I forgot to take a picture of the menu, so this is from memory) - Chrysanthemum greens and yuba ohitashi - Kujo green onion with vinegar miso dressing - Simmered hijiki seaweed - Roast beef - Mackerel grilled in Saikyo miso - Daikon radish with plum dressing - Homemade tofu (with arrowroot? A chewy texture) - Tempura (fiddlehead fern, eggplant, sweet potato) - Deep-fried taro - Chicken wrapped in egg - Fried fu with sweet miso - Tomato and mozzarella - Chopped Shibazuke pickles - Strawberry - Rice and miso soup (with daikon radish, fried tofu, and shimeji mushrooms) Everything was delicious, but the standout dishes were the deep-fried taro, which was seasoned with salt, and the large, juicy sweet potato tempura. The sweet potato tempura was like a sweet treat, moist and unlike any other I've had before. It was a very satisfying lunch.

Kuma Log 3.7‍❄️ After work today, I went to "Minoru Dining Kyoto Porta Store" with Koro-san, Maiko-san, and Izumin. It's a dining place that Kuma Ken Tiger, a self-proclaimed Instagrammer, wanted to visit. They have dinner set meals, and the four of us ordered the healthiest option, the "Kyoto Prefecture Pork Steamed Set". The steamed Kyoto Prefecture pork with sesame sauce was delicious, but the sweet potato was especially tasty‍❄️ It turns out that they use all Kyoto Prefecture ingredients, produced by JA Zenno Kyoto. It's truly a local production and consumption restaurant❗️ #Steamed #SteamedDish #Pork #KyotoPrefecturePork #KyotoPrefecturePorkSteamedSet #Vegetables #SteamedVegetables #SweetPotato #MinoruDining #Kyoto #KyotoGourmet #KyotoDinner #KyotoStationGourmet #SesameSauce #Porta #JAZenno #LocalProduction #Healthy #HealthyMenu #ThankYouForTheMeal #UncoveredSeries #OhOopsNotMuchSteam #IWantIceCream #WeGottaGo #Koro-sanIsKind #Koro-sanIsAGoodGuy

Opened on August 26, 2022, "Minoru Dining Kyoto Porta Store" is a restaurant that uses seasonal Kyoto vegetables, Kyoto rice, and Kyoto meat, all sourced from JA Kyoto. I tried their Premium Minoru Meal (2420 yen) and it was delicious! The Kujo Negi was particularly amazing, with a sweet taste and no bitterness. The Kintoki carrot was rich in color and sweetness. The meal included healthy ingredients like raw fu dango, homemade tofu, and plenty of vegetables like small turnips and persimmon namasu. With fish and meat options, it was satisfying. They offer unlimited servings of Tanba Koshihikari rice and miso soup.

I decided to have dinner at this restaurant, Minoru Premium Gozen, at Kyoto Station while waiting to meet up with my friends after work. It was a spontaneous decision, and I was craving Japanese food. I ordered the luxurious Kyoto Gozen set meal, which came with many small side dishes. Everything was delicious, but the fried taro was the best. Japanese cuisine is definitely my top choice. The food tasted even better because I was eating in Kyoto. Although rice and miso soup were refillable (which I usually take advantage of), I was too full from the generous portions of side dishes. My stomach was satisfied.

I entered a vegetable-centered restaurant that looked delicious. I was thinking of ordering a steamed dish, but there was no salad. When I mentioned this to the staff, they said, "There are vegetables in this steamed dish." However, I insisted on having a salad, so I ordered the rolled omelette set instead. However, there were a few disappointing things. First, the salad I had been craving consisted of only lettuce and Kyoto greens. Was I a goat? As for the rolled omelette, was it baked or steamed? The texture of the egg seemed steamed, resulting in a pudding-like texture instead of a fluffy rolled omelette. The only delicious thing was the miso soup broth. It was disappointing. Is it possible that other menu items have a similar quality for this price?

Minoru Dining has a location in Tokyo as well, but the new Minoru Dining in Kyoto Porta uses plenty of vegetables sourced from Kyoto JA. I chose the "Seasonal Meal" (1780 yen) on this day and it was delicious. The restaurant is quite hidden, so there's usually no line, making it a hidden gem. I was torn between the Premium Minoru Meal (2420 yen), but this one was cheaper and the purple rice was amazing. - Purple rice made from Kyoto Tango rice (this was incredibly delicious) - Gobo egg and rice bowl made with Kyoto meat (generous portion) - Miso soup (loaded with vegetables) - Crispy fried burdock root - Pumpkin, tofu, and watercress salad The dishes had a gobo theme, but it was a good Japanese meal with plenty of dietary fiber.

I visited for lunch in October 2022. The place is located in the underground shopping area of Kyoto Station called Porta. I ordered the Premium Minoru Meal for 2420 yen. It was a bit luxurious and very filling. It included roast beef, grilled fish, seasonal tempura, fresh wheat gluten, okra, tomato, and other vegetables, all of which were delicious. However, there was a lot of tempura, so I thought a little less would be better. I wish the price was a bit lower and the portion size smaller. I highly recommend it.

The restaurant is produced by Zen-Noh Kyoto, so the ingredients are sourced from Zen-Noh. The curry smells delicious, filled with seasonal Kyoto vegetables. I ordered the seasonal set meal, while my partner ordered the Minoru set meal. We shared and enjoyed the meal together. The mixed rice in the seasonal set meal was made with purple shiso, which was delicious. The tempura in the meal was made using various Kyoto vegetables, such as oyster mushrooms, eggplant, Kyoto okra, and shishito peppers. The sweet potato was also very moist and tasty. The pumpkin salad was also delicious. The miso soup had a gentle flavor. The Minoru set meal had very little meat, while mine had some minced meat stuffed in the eggplant. Overall, the meal was healthy and enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try different seasonal vegetables in the future.

This is a new restaurant that has been renovated in Porta. I thought I could eat Kyoto vegetables and obanzai for lunch. The place was packed with school trip students, so I managed to sit at the counter at around 12:30. Every restaurant seemed to be full. Since I was already there, I ordered the Minoru set premium for 2400 yen and a draft beer for 400 yen. The beer came quickly and I enjoyed it with a small glass. The service seemed a bit rushed and overwhelmed. It took about 20 minutes for the dishes to be served. The rice and miso soup were refillable, which was nice. I wish there was some explanation of what each dish was, but maybe it's tough for them. I liked the slightly sticky rice. The miso soup was delicious, with a subtle miso flavor and a strong dashi taste. I had seconds of rice and miso soup. Each side dish was tasty. The cost performance may not be great due to the location costs. I was full and satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

I visited during lunchtime. The meal was delicious, with rice, miso soup with vegetables, fresh vegetable salad, and a well-balanced main dish set. I always come in a wheelchair, and I appreciate the considerate service. Some areas of the restaurant have narrow aisles, so there are limited spots for wheelchairs and sometimes longer wait times compared to able-bodied customers. However, I believe it's worth the wait. This dining spot, produced by JA Zenno, offers a cozy atmosphere where you can enjoy a luxurious selection of domestic ingredients, with Kyoto vegetables being the highlight.

I went to Kyoto and first chose a restaurant based on its atmosphere. You can eat a variety of small dishes of obanzai. There is usually a line on weekends.
