Ukumaru "Ikkakujuu" Today, once again, it's okonomiyaki time at "Ikkakujuu". This time, we went to the one in Shijo Shinmachi for a year-end party. It had been a while since our last visit in the summer. The restaurant had tatami seating and a large number of seats, offering a variety of dishes other than okonomiyaki, making it a great place for drinking parties. There were five of us this time, and we had a great time eating, drinking, and having fun! The appetizer of thick fried tofu was delicious. The Stamina Yaki with Omi beef tenderloin and Kujo green onions for 1000 yen was a hit. The tender beef with plenty of Kujo green onions was so delicious that we fought over it. In other words, the hormone was mine. The Cabbage Steak with Cheese White Sauce for 1100 yen, which I recommended, was also delicious. The soft cabbage with special cheese sauce was a highlight. The Kyoto Yuba Okonomiyaki for 1580 yen was a unique okonomiyaki made with yuba, using minced potatoes and rice flour to create a sticky batter wrapped in yuba. We enjoyed changing the flavor with black shichimi pepper. The New Town Green Onion Yaki (Mixed) for 1050 yen was my recommendation. The amount of green onions was extraordinary. The mix of pork, squid, shrimp, and plenty of green onions with a dashi flavor was also delicious. The Plenty of Shrimp Mayo for 1000 yen was so tasty that I wanted to lick the rich mayonnaise sauce until the end. The Yakisoba Extra Large (Pork) for 1100 yen was a sure bet. The Sand Lizard for 790 yen was a large lizard, not too hard, just right. The Grilled Vegetable Assortment for 1100 yen, which I ordered for the first time, was recommended. The fire-cooked vegetables such as green beans, lotus root, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and zucchini brought out the sweetness of the ingredients. With so many varieties, there were no complaints. The Hara mi Teppanyaki for 1100 yen kept the party going. The tare-grilled beef belly went well with beer. The Hiroshima Oyster Escargot Butter for 1100 yen featured large oysters with escargot butter. It made me crave wine. The Teppan Aijo (Oyster and Tomato) for 1100 yen + Baguette for 150 yen featured two consecutive oyster dishes. The latter half with oyster-flavored olive oil and baguette was a sure hit. The Salt Yakisoba (Pork) for 990 yen was a light yakisoba to finish off the meal. The positioning of salt and sauce, and yakisoba. The salt yakisoba was easy to eat even at this point. The Garlic Rice for 900 yen was a garlic rice with a strong garlic flavor! Don't worry about bad breath, as we have the day off tomorrow. Eating and drinking heartily, it cost less than 5000 yen per person. It was a great value for money.

Some people avoid allergies and gluten, so they came up with the idea of using rice flour as the main ingredient for okonomiyaki. The taste is delicious, fluffy, and comforting. It can be considered a Kyoto-style okonomiyaki. The oysters are also delicious, especially when paired with baguette as a great accompaniment to sake. The harami (skirt steak) was a bit ordinary in my opinion. The restaurant is open late, which is convenient.

I felt like eating teppanyaki, so I decided to go to Ikkyu. The okonomiyaki here is gluten-free, and the first photo is okonomiyaki wrapped in yuba and grilled. I thought it would be bland, but it had a strong dashi flavor and was very delicious. The second photo is a regular okonomiyaki, but it was fluffy and tasty. It's great for women and health-conscious people because it's gluten-free. I would definitely like to visit again.

There was a restaurant that served yuba okonomiyaki, but the regular okonomiyaki was by far the most delicious. I didn't order it, but the grilled vegetables looked very tasty. The staff may not be very friendly, but it's a place where you can eat delicious okonomiyaki.

I came to Kyoto for various reasons including visiting the grave. It has been about 2 years since I last visited due to the coronavirus. For dinner, my mother, wife, and I went exploring for okonomiyaki. We decided on "Ikakujyu" where we could make a reservation online! Since our hotel was in Shijo Omiya, we chose this location. The okonomiyaki at "Ikakujyu" was fluffy, crispy, and satisfyingly soft for my mother who has weak teeth. The sauce was also delicious, and we were very satisfied with our dinner. The staff at the restaurant were also attentive and we were able to enjoy our meal comfortably. The beef tendon yakisoba was also fantastic!

I wanted to eat okonomiyaki around Shinmachi, so I made a reservation and went. The restaurant was new, and I was seated at the counter, with table seats and an elevated area in the back. It was my first time trying okonomiyaki made with rice flour, and I ordered the "Ikakuyaki" which had a thin crust with only cabbage and cheese inside. It was incredibly delicious! It felt fluffier than regular okonomiyaki made with wheat flour. I also tried the regular okonomiyaki with escargot sauce and oysters, which was also tasty. The fact that the staff asked if we needed an appetizer was a nice touch, perhaps for foreign customers. However, there was a bit of inconsistency between the dishes served, the atmosphere of the restaurant, and the staff. Despite having menu items like "Sen no Rikyu's Story," the restaurant and staff had a Western style, which was interesting but I thought a more traditional Japanese atmosphere would be better. Also, the selection of drinks was limited, which was a bit disappointing. It would have been nice to have a wider variety, especially simple options like green tea highballs. The restaurant was quite crowded during the peak autumn season, so I recommend making a reservation if you're concerned. Overall, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal. The mayonnaise was served separately, so it wasn't already on the okonomiyaki as it usually is.

I ate at the counter, and the interior of the restaurant was clean and had a stylish atmosphere that didn't feel like a typical okonomiyaki restaurant. It might be appreciated by women. The cabbage steak is recommended. The okonomiyaki was fluffy with a good amount of yam and dashi, and the yakisoba was salted with noodles similar to ramen, giving it a soup-like yakisoba feel. I would consider going back to this restaurant. However, I didn't feel that the staff, including the manager, were particularly friendly to first-time customers.

I went to try the Kyoto yudofu okonomiyaki! It took about 20 minutes to cook (they told me in advance). The taste was gentle but a bit lacking in impact. If the shichimi pepper hadn't been included, I might have gotten bored with the taste quickly. It was difficult to cut the yudofu. It would be great if they offered a small size where you can compare okonomiyaki with regular sauce and soy milk sauce! The atmosphere of the restaurant was very calm and nice.

Visited in August 2022 ◎ At the time of posting, it had a rating of 3.34 on Tabelog (22 reviews). I have been to this teppanyaki restaurant near Karasuma Station for lunch many times, but this was my first visit for dinner. There are two 4-person table seats behind the counter, and there is also a tatami room at the back. The menu lists the ingredients, which makes it easy to understand. Today, I had the following dishes: - Draft beer (Kirin Ichiban Shibori) 600 yen - Bottled beer (small bottle, Kirin Lager Beer) 660 yen - Lemon sour 650 yen - Caesar salad with onsen tamago (hot spring egg) 870 yen - Tonpei-yaki (pork omelette) 850 yen - Harami (skirt steak) teppanyaki 980 yen - Seasonal grilled vegetable assortment 1,100 yen - Ebi mayo (shrimp mayo) 890 yen - Yuba okonomiyaki (tofu skin pancake) 1,580 yen - Sauce yakisoba mix (pork, squid, shrimp) 980 yen - Special garlic rice 780 yen - Fondant chocolate with vanilla ice cream 670 yen First, cheers with a draft beer! The Caesar salad with onsen tamago was delicious with the creamy egg hidden under the salad. The tonpei-yaki was different from the usual style, with a broth instead of sauce, and it was filled with plenty of meat and fluffy egg. The harami teppanyaki had a nice texture and a meaty flavor. The seasonal grilled vegetables were colorful and flavorful, complemented by the balsamic vinegar. The crispy ebi mayo was a delight. The yuba okonomiyaki made with gluten-free ingredients was unique and tasty. The sauce yakisoba mix was a classic dish that was delicious. The special garlic rice with butter and garlic chips was incredibly flavorful. The fondant chocolate with vanilla ice cream was a satisfying dessert. All the dishes were of high quality and delicious, and I ended up eating more than planned. Thank you for the meal.

The owner said that a popular okonomiyaki restaurant in Nishioji Oike has been relocated. They have been in business for over 10 years, so you can expect a delicious meal. The restaurant has a variety of seating options, including tatami rooms, tables, and counters, catering to a wide range of customers. Here are some recommended dishes: - Potato salad with yam: it has a mild flavor and a sticky texture, which is great. - Pork sauce yakisoba: simple yet delicious, with perfect firmness in the noodles. - Yuba okonomiyaki: made with yuba from Yubasho, the batter wraps around ingredients like cabbage and is cooked. The soy milk sauce complements the crispy texture of the dried yuba. - Shrimp mayo: recommended to eat with the yam placed underneath. - Negi-yaki: made with a large amount of crunchy konjac and green onions, it has a strong sweetness without any bitterness. - Vanilla ice cream: a perfect way to end the meal.

You can enjoy delicious okonomiyaki without any mistakes as they cook it for you there. The yakisoba is thick and full of flavor, very tasty. My son loved the beef tendon stir-fry. The dishes were beautifully presented in lovely plates. The staff were also very friendly and energetic.

Visited in March 2022. At the time of posting, the restaurant had a rating of 3.34 on Tabelog based on 20 reviews. They offer a gluten-free curry okonomiyaki set for 870 yen, which comes with white rice, miso soup, and salad. They used to serve an "onigiri set" for breakfast and lunch, but now they are open for lunch again, offering dishes like okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and gyu-harami donburi. The okonomiyaki is gluten-free, made with rice flour and yam, giving it a slightly gooey texture. The curry sauce is quite bitter and generously applied, with plenty of finely chopped cabbage. The size is about 15 cm in diameter, making it slightly smaller than usual. The salad used to be all-you-can-eat, and it might still be the case. The operating hours have changed, and they are likely open from 11 am onwards, but it could have changed again.

I went out around 4:30 PM because places close early due to Corona, but it was still crowded. I wish they would open earlier since they're open until 9 PM. I'm grateful that this place was open. I tried cabbage steak for the first time and it was delicious! I'm sorry I didn't have okonomiyaki. Thank you!

Visited in November 2021 with a rating of 3.35 on Tabelog. The onigiri set for 500 yen includes 3 onigiri, weekly soup, salad, and pickles. The lunch menu is simple with just this onigiri set. The onigiri are small but well-made and delicious. The salad is all-you-can-eat for just one coin. The lunch and morning menus have ended, and now they only serve dinner. I hope they bring back the lunch menu soon.

Visited in October 2021 with a rating of 3.36 on Tabelog. The lunch set includes 3 onigiri, weekly soup, salad, and pickles for 500 yen. Today, I tried to shed some weight by having lunch at "Ikkakujuu." The lunch option is only the "Freshly Made Onigiri Set." Today's onigiri flavors were red rice, salmon, and plum, with miso soup as the soup of the day. Red rice is known for its high nutritional value and health benefits. The miso soup was light but packed with burdock, daikon, and carrots. The onigiri were on the smaller side but well-made and delicious. The salad seemed like it could be refilled, but I decided to skip it. Thank you for the meal.

It's Sunday morning. This time, I stayed at a hotel without breakfast, so I decided to have a one-coin onigiri morning at the nearby Ikakujyu Shijo Shinmachi store. The store is located a little north of Shijo Street on Shinmachi Street. There was a sign for onigiri morning at the storefront. Inside the store, there were counter seats and table seats in the back, and there was one group of customers eating. I sat at the counter where there were no previous customers and ordered the morning set. They asked if three onigiri, mentaiko, okaka, and salt onigiri were okay, and I confirmed that it was fine. The morning set came with three freshly made onigiri, salad, and miso soup. It was served in about 5 minutes. Three onigiri, pickled radish, miso soup, and a plastic container of vegetable salad were placed on a triangular plate. The vegetable salad was crispy lettuce with a Japanese-style dressing. The freshly made onigiri was small but plump and slightly warm. The rice and seaweed seemed to be of good quality and were delicious. The miso soup was also hot and tasty. Instead of the hotel's usual buffet, which can be monotonous, this place is more than enough. Thank you for the meal.

I wanted a light lunch on this day, so I decided to try the "One Coin Onigiri Lunch" at this restaurant. It seemed like they had recently taken a break from lunch service, so it was a bit of a nostalgic visit for me. It was around 1 pm and there were no other customers. I sat at the counter and had a cold tea. The only lunch option available was the "Freshly Made Onigiri Set (500 yen)". I had never seen a plate shaped like a triangle before. The salad, which is usually served in a wooden bowl, came in a pack this time. The daily onigiri flavors were salt, plum, and seaweed tsukudani. The size of the onigiri was perfect for me, I could eat three in one go. The freshly made onigiri was delicious, both the rice and seaweed. It was an ideal onigiri. The soup of the day was a hearty Chinese soup. It was a satisfying one coin lunch that left me feeling just right. Thank you for the meal.

Visited in March 2021 ◎ At the time of posting, the restaurant had a rating of 3.33 points on Tabelog (from 16 reviews). ■ Onigiri Set 500 yen (including tax) * 3 onigiri, weekly soup, salad, pickles Today, I felt like eating the onigiri from "Ikkakuju" for the first time in a while, so I went for lunch. For lunch, they only offer this menu! The serving method has changed since the last time I was here. The salad was now in a plastic case on the triangular plate. The salad used to be all-you-can-eat, but with this new serving style, I wonder if refills are no longer allowed! I wanted to ask, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Today's onigiri fillings were plum, seaweed tsukudani, and salt. The soup was "Curry Miso Soup" with ingredients like chicken, cabbage, and cherry tomatoes. The curry flavor was very subtle, and the soup was quite light. The plum, which was sour last time, wasn't as sour this time and was easy to eat. The slightly smaller onigiri were nicely shaped and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

For lunch that day, I wanted something light, so I decided to try the "One Coin Onigiri Lunch" at this restaurant. It was around 1:00 pm and I was the only customer there. They had a unique onigiri display and only one lunch option. The "Freshly Made Onigiri Set (500 yen)" was served quickly, perfect for busy office workers. The daily onigiri flavors were salted, salmon, and seaweed tsukudani. The onigiri was small enough to eat in three bites. The set also included a fresh salad with unlimited refills. The soup of the day was a soft and tender chicken and cabbage miso soup with curry flavor. Each dish was delicious, and I enjoyed the affordable one coin lunch. ◎Blog [Kokoromanoma] https://ameblo.jp/39lohas/entry-12658063388.html

2021-01-12-15:52 Before dinner, I had an early "dinner" during my previous business trip to Kyoto. I aimed for a time when there were no other customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course, I was alone on this day as well. I had beer, highball, a green salad from Miyamoto Farm for 650 yen, escargot butter-grilled Hiroshima oysters for 980 yen, salt-grilled angel prawns for 950 yen, and tororo rice for 500 yen to finish off before leaving promptly. The owner recommended that I try their specialty okonomiyaki next time. I am looking forward to my next visit to Kyoto in April or August. I found a place that I am excited to visit again.

Visited in January 2021 with a rating of 3.30 on Tabelog (16 reviews). Today, I didn't have much of an appetite and wanted to adjust my weight, so I had lunch at "Ikkakuju" (^^)/ The only lunch option is the "Freshly made rice ball set"! Today's rice balls were filled with plum, seaweed tsukudani, and salt. The soup was "Pork belly soup"♪ The plum today was quite sour compared to usual. I wonder if they changed the type of umeboshi!? The rice balls are a bit smaller in size but are delicately formed and delicious ( ´∀｀ )b I also had seconds of the salad today~♪ Thank you for the meal.
