At Katsuragawa AEON, I think this is the most delicious! Normally, when it comes to obanzai, they're kind of mediocre, but each dish here is so delicious that it could steal the show. And you can get refills on the tofu without any extra charge. It's tasty even on its own! My 1-year-old son was gobbling it up. And the rice from the 8th generation Gihei is just amazing! I ordered the sashimi set, and each piece of sashimi tasted like it was delivered straight from the fish market! The portion might be a bit small, but it's so good. My husband got the Chicken Nanban, a hearty dish for just a little over 1000 yen. The cost-performance varies depending on the menu, but it's worth it!

Hello (￣Д￣)ﾉ March has arrived and it has become considerably warmer. How are you all doing with hay fever!? I arrived at Keigan Aeon with a runny nose. We came here with a total of 7 people for lunch on a weekday, to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The place my daughter wanted to go to was here, Market Komichi, Aeon Mall Kyoto Keigan store (376-1 Kuse Takata-cho, Minami-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Aeon Mall Kyoto Keigan 2F). This was my first visit to this restaurant, but it seems like there are several branches in Kyoto city. We checked the menu at the entrance ( ᯣωᯣ )ｼﾞｨｰｰ It seems like the freshly cooked clay pot rice is their specialty. My daughter's daughter-in-law has been here before, and it seems that rice, miso soup, and steamed tofu are free for refills, and there is a lunch where you can choose the main dish with various side dishes on a plate. Let's go inside the store. Oh! The back has a sunken kotatsu seat and the surroundings are large glass windows with a great view. Yes, this restaurant. It was a glass-walled restaurant visible from the main street, and we were seated at a great seat with a great view d(ゝω・´○) This is nice, there were few customers around 12:30 on a weekday, so we were able to relax. We placed our orders, this time I chose the Chicken Nanban (main) side dish plate for 1090 yen. While chatting and waiting, ●Chicken Nanban Side Dish Plate 1090 yen Here it is, a plate with lots of side dishes. Guaranteed to be popular with girls!! The clay pot rice, miso soup, steamed tofu, free refills, guaranteed to be popular with guys!! Let's eat right away, take a bite of the chicken nanban with tartar sauce and sweet sauce, and eat the rice! This rice is delicious!! The clay pot rice on the top (I refilled it 3 times and each time there was burnt rice on top) was outstandingly delicious. I later found out that it was rice from Yatsushiro Gihei, and it made sense. The hitman who finishes one bowl of rice with one piece of chicken nanban. Quickly get the rice and miso soup refilled. While waiting, I'll have the warm steamed tofu. There are salt and soy sauce on the table, so I'll start with salt. The salt brings out the flavor of the tofu well. Of course, I also had it with soy sauce after refilling. I ate a lot and got full. The view is great, the food is great, the refills are great!! This place is worth visiting ♡ I'll come back again, thank you for the mealーーー!!

I felt like having a Japanese lunch, so I went! I ordered the chicken nanban, but they also have grilled fish and various other menu options! The chicken nanban came with tartar sauce and a half-cooked egg, which was delicious! The side dishes other than the main dish were also tasty! You can have unlimited refills of tofu!

There are many items on the izakaya menu. Salmon and avocado carpaccio, fried chicken, grilled fish collar, rolled omelette, potato fries, and complimentary tofu. Everything is quite ordinary. I thought I could make these flavors myself. The salmon did not feel fresh. The avocado was not very ripe, nor was it fresh, giving it a strange texture. The fried chicken had a good texture but lacked flavor. The rolled omelette was okay. The potato fries were served in a paper bag without any explanation, making me feel the staff was not very helpful. The taste was average. The grilled fish collar was cooked well. In terms of cost-performance, considering taste, service, and warmth of the dishes, personally I do not think it was good. It was disappointing.

Today's lunch was at "Ichiba Koji" in AEON Mall Katsuragawa. I ordered the summer limited menu item, the "Long Conger Eel Cutlet Plate". It's not often that we get to eat conger eel at home, so I decided to order it as my last taste of summer. The conger eel cutlet was cooked beautifully, with no small bones to worry about. It came with two sauces, tartar sauce and plum sauce, and the plum sauce was light and delicious. Of course, it paired perfectly with the tartar sauce. Personally, I prefer conger eel cutlets over tempura.

This time, I used a family gathering as an opportunity to have lunch. There were many seats available, suitable for both small and large parties. The sunken kotatsu seating was a nice touch! There were about 10 lunch options, all looking delicious and making it hard to choose. Our order included: - Saikyo-yaki set meal - Horse mackerel fry (with plum sauce) set meal - Draft beer, non-alcoholic beer Despite the large group, the dishes were served smoothly. First, we were served 8 colorful side dishes, all of which were delicious. The "freshly made tofu" was warm and you could have seconds. The taste of the soybeans really came through. The main dish, Saikyo-yaki, was nicely grilled and sweet. The horse mackerel fry was surprisingly thick and the plum sauce added a nice touch of sourness. We also asked for tartar sauce on the side, which was delicious with a good amount of acidity. The rice was made with the famous "Yatsudai Yone" brand, and you could have seconds of that too! I ended up eating more than I thought I would because it was so good! It was delicious! Healthy, nutritious, and guilt-free, perfect for those who want to eat a lot without feeling bad. Thank you for the feast! #Ichibakoji #Izakaya with fresh seafood and freshly cooked rice, Ichibakoji at AEON Mall Kyoto Katsuragawa #Like an array of side dishes #Want to connect with people who love Japanese food #Lovely ingredients #Want to connect with people who love tofu #Delicious rice #Kyoto gourmet #Katsuragawa lunch #Having a lively meal with a large group #A Kyoto-style lunch

The sashimi in the Toro box, nama-fu dengaku, seafood yakisoba, and other dishes were all delicious. The sunken kotatsu seats with a good view by the window were also nice. I had made a reservation, and the people I dined with really enjoyed it, so I thought it was a good choice. I will definitely visit again.

Visited with my mother and family. It was our first time at this restaurant, and we enjoyed every dish. I had the miso mackerel set, which was delicious with its flavorful miso seasoning and perfectly cooked mackerel. The rice, tofu, and miso soup were all you can eat, and the rice cooked in the hearth was also very tasty. The menu has a variety of dishes, and it seems to be popular as an izakaya in the evenings. I definitely want to come back!

This is a shop on the second floor of Katsuragawa Aeon. It has a bright and open atmosphere with full glass windows, creating a lovely ambiance. The Chicken Nanban Obanzai Plate was ¥1090 (tax included) and was labeled as using Yagatame Gihei's rice. The Obanzai was beautifully presented and looked very appetizing. Everything was delicious and I felt like I got a good nutritional boost from the Obanzai. The cost performance was also excellent! Thank you for the meal! (^人^)

The meal was plentiful with various side dishes, each in small portions. The restaurant had both traditional sunken kotatsu seating and regular tables, and we sat at a table this time. There were also counter seats available, making it easy for solo diners to visit. The menu displayed outside the restaurant was clear, and the interior menu had photos for easy understanding. The Yatsushiro Yobei's clay pot rice was delicious, with a nice crispy layer at the bottom.

It's been a while since I visited Market Koji at AEON Mall Katsuragawa. They use "Yatsudai Yaebei" rice here too. Lately, more and more restaurants are using "Yatsudai Yaebei" rice, right? Even Seven Eleven is promoting onigiri made with it! The rice is really delicious, living up to its reputation. The rice cooked in a clay pot at Market Koji tastes especially good. This time, I ordered the "Chicken Nanban and Obanzai Plate." I was torn between that and the "Pork Loin Tonkatsu," but I've been having a lot of tonkatsu lately, and I think I ordered the pork loin tonkatsu last time I was here, so this time I went with the chicken. Both the obanzai plate and the chicken nanban were delicious, but the real star here is the homemade steamed tofu with unlimited refills! It's freshly made, warm, and has a strong soybean flavor, making it incredibly tasty. I couldn't help but go back for more. I definitely want to come back just for the tofu.

I used it for a farewell party. The complimentary tofu appetizer is all-you-can-eat! It's really delicious with a little salt sprinkled on top! It's fluffy and warm. We ordered a course, but the fried chicken and chicken nanban were just okay. They were tasty, but not outstanding. I personally felt that the grilled salmon with miso was unnecessary. It was small and tough. I guess the small portion is understandable in today's economy where everything is getting more expensive. The rice in the clay pot was very delicious, and it even came with a raw egg! Egg on rice is the best. We ordered the cheapest course, and it was quite filling! I thought about ordering extra if it wasn't enough, but I didn't feel the need in the end. The location is very convenient as it's inside the Katsuragawa Aeon mall. The only downside is that the restroom is far. It can't be helped though. Some may think it's a chain restaurant, but I believe the course is worth the price. It's 3850 yen with all-you-can-drink. It's a shame that draft beer isn't included in the all-you-can-drink option! I was hoping for draft beer. The photo is from a previous lunch visit. Lunch is also good here!

I went to AEON Mall Kyoto Katsuragawa on my day off and had lunch there. Not only the main dishes, but also the side dishes were delicious. The crispy sweet potato was especially good. You can have unlimited refills of rice, miso soup, and tofu, which is great if you don't worry about your weight... Chicken Nanban set meal for 1,078 yen, Pork Ginger set meal for 1,188 yen (tax included). It was crowded during lunchtime on holidays. There were 5 groups waiting when I arrived around 12:15. However, since they have many seats, I didn't have to wait as long as I thought. I waited for about 10 minutes on this day.

This is my second time this month. This time, I visited the Kyushu Umakamon Market for lunch and had the "Black Pork Loin Tonkatsu Plate." The tender black pork and sweet sauce were delicious, and it was a dish that the proud Yagoto Gibei served with enthusiasm. It's my birthday this month, so I've also made a reservation for this weekend night.

I visited during lunchtime on a holiday and was able to enter the restaurant fairly easily after waiting for about 15 minutes. I ordered the pork loin tonkatsu and mackerel simmered in miso set (children's menu). I later found out that you could get refills on tofu and rice... I wish I had known that when I ordered... The staff's customer service was good with smiles, so I'll forgive them. The obanzai dishes were varied and delicious (^^)

After seeing a poster featuring a collaboration between Gion's popular restaurant and rice, I decided to enter. Although I also wanted to try Japanese food, I was drawn to the large shrimp fry, so I ordered the shrimp fry set meal and sashimi. I ended up eating two bowls of rice, as they were delicious. The shrimp fry was crispy and the tofu was also tasty.

It's been a while since I visited Aeon Mall Katsuragawa. This was my first time visiting after the coronavirus self-restraint period. I needed to replace my electric pressure cooker that got submerged in water (thinking of using my My Number points to buy it). Unfortunately, the item I was looking for was out of stock, and the selection was limited. Disappointing results. Another purpose of my visit was to use the Goto Eat campaign. I found that "Ichiba Koji" was registered, so I decided to dine there. It had been a while since I last visited, probably since it opened. I remembered it being delicious back then, but the concept of a "supermarket izakaya" felt a bit strange, so I hadn't been there in a while. On this day, I had the seasonal clay pot rice (with kinmedai and chestnuts), the obanzai platter (featuring beef tendon daikon, chicken liver, and kabura with sesame miso dressing), and an appetizer of tofu. I also had two white peach shochu highballs. The total came to 3,286 yen including tax. The obanzai dishes were tasty, and the rice was extremely delicious. However, the menu felt too much like an izakaya rather than a place for a proper dinner. The food was delicious, and I enjoyed it. If the menu had more main dishes to go with the rice, I would have been even happier. It seemed like there were more customers compared to other stores on the same floor, probably due to the Goto Eat campaign. However, most of the surrounding tables were occupied by pairs of people ordering only drinks and individual items. It's conveniently located near the station and could be a good place for a casual drink. But the rice was too delicious to just be an after-drinks meal. I made a Goto Eat reservation through Tabelog, and at the restaurant, they only asked for my name without checking the screen. When I checked my reservation history later, it showed that it had been used. The points will probably be added around the 10th of next month. I couldn't use the points immediately this month. Maybe I can use them in October, and the points will be added around November 10th. When making a reservation, there is a section for using points, but it seems to be for regular T-points. I wonder if there will be a section for the Goto Eat points once they are added. It was my first time making a reservation online, and I got a bit confused, but overall, it was a good dining experience.

Arrived at the restaurant at 1:00 PM on Saturday, it was not too crowded which I liked. I ordered the Miso-Simmered Mackerel Plate for 1298 yen including tax. It arrived in just 4 minutes! The rich miso flavor paired well with the white rice. It was delicious! I was happy with the generous portion sizes. I was surprised that there were no small bones in the mackerel dish, making it very easy to eat. Is it normal for there to be no small bones? Thank you for the meal.

This is a review of the restaurant called Ichiba Koji located in the Market Koji restaurant street on the 2nd floor of AEON Mall Kyoto Katsuragawa, in front of JR Katsuragawa Station. This restaurant street always disappoints me as there are few delicious options. This time, I visited this restaurant for the first time after checking out Tabelog, as it seemed promising. It is operated by a company called Star Co., Ltd. in Kyoto. They offer lunch during the day and izakaya-style dining at night. The menu I ordered included Tanba Takahara pork ginger stir-fry for 1,180 yen (excluding tax), beef loin on lava stone grill for 1,480 yen (excluding tax), fresh tofu skin for 1,480 yen (excluding tax), and Nishida-san's "Kyoto Momiji" (raw egg) for 100 yen (excluding tax). The ginger stir-fry had surprisingly little pork compared to the sample and menu photos. The beef loin on lava stone grill was tough despite being thinly sliced. The raw egg was average. It is embarrassing to promote these dishes with such names. Each set meal comes with a side dish, but the contents are not very impressive. The service was good with attentive staff, but the main issue lies in the poor quality of the ingredients. The tenants in AEON Mall's restaurant street seem to be disappointing.

On a regular Tuesday at 11:00 when the store opened, there were still few customers. I came back because I liked the "Grilled Salmon with Green Miso" I had last time, but it seems they don't have it this time. I chose a regular menu item: - Sea Bream Plate for ¥1166 including tax - Seasonal side dishes - Rice - Tofu with miso - Miso soup (free refills for rice, tofu, and miso soup) It arrived in 7 minutes after ordering! The rice was shiny and perfectly cooked, just the way I like it. The sea bream was just a normal grilled fish, I wish it was marinated in sweet miso sauce to go better with the rice. The seasonal side dishes were different from last time, but it seems they change it depending on the season. For ¥1166 including tax, it felt like a good deal. There was also a "Grilled Marinated Salmon Set for ¥1166 including tax" that was not listed at the entrance, I guess you have to come in to see the full menu. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. I will definitely come back again.

On this day, I went shopping at AEON Katsuragawa with my daughter who is expecting a baby this fall and is busy preparing for the birth. We arrived around lunchtime, so we decided to eat first before shopping, and ended up here... Since we had a good experience at the Kitaoji store, we were drawn to the healthy vibe. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was a 6-group wait due to the Obon holiday. Other stores were also quite crowded. After about a 15-minute wait, we were called in. The interior was quite spacious, with table seating, counter seating, and sunken kotatsu-style seating where you take off your shoes before entering. I ordered the sea bream lunch for 1,080 yen (excluding tax), my wife ordered the salted mackerel lunch for 980 yen (excluding tax), and our daughter ordered the horse mackerel fry lunch for 980 yen (excluding tax). The good thing here is that you get 8 types of side dishes, and you can have seconds of the rice cooked in a pot and smooth tofu. The side dishes that day were winter melon and nagaimo suri-nagashi, eggplant miso shimeji, paprika and mackerel nanban-zuke, cucumber and tuna Chinese-style salad, edamame okara, green bean sesame salad, okra and hijiki salad, and pickles (tsubo-zuke, shiba-zuke). The nanban-zuke is always delicious. The sea bream was lightly seasoned with salt and the grated daikon was a nice touch. The thick texture is also good. The salted mackerel was large and my daughter said the mackerel fry was big, and the tartar sauce was delicious. The smooth tofu was as delicious as always. We had seconds. Overall, the healthy feel and reasonable prices are good. However, this restaurant did not offer a choice between mixed grain rice and white rice, and the service was not the best. The Kitaoji store had much better service... It seems that each store is a bit different. My daughter said she would come back next time with her husband, as she liked the affordable feel.

I visited for the first time! I had a seat by the window where I could see outside and it made me happy. I ordered the obanzai set which included chicken karaage, lotus root with cheese, potato salad, and draft beer. The obanzai set had a variety of side dishes and was a good deal. The flavors were unique and perfect for snacking. The chicken karaage was delicious as usual. The lotus root with cheese had a crispy texture and the cheese was great, I will definitely order it again next time. The fried fish paste was incredibly tasty. There are many menu options and plenty of rice for the end of the meal, so I will visit again. Thank you for the meal.
