Wakasaya is located just around the corner from the building where UNIQLO and Loft are situated on Shijo Street. The access is excellent! The restaurant is small but even on a busy weekend afternoon, we were able to find a seat quickly. The menu has a wide variety of options, so you might find it hard to choose. I went for the salmon and ikura bowl, which cost around 1300 yen. My partner had the seared salmon bowl, which was around 1000 yen and is a popular choice among men. It was really delicious. This place is definitely worth a visit, you'll be hooked and want to go back again and again!

I visited the restaurant for lunch on Friday, June 30, 2023. Today, I was drawn in by the sign saying "Free Extra Rice Day". There were two other customers when I arrived. It didn't feel crowded or empty, but rather a bit lonely compared to other restaurants on Sanjo Street. I ordered the special bowl of the day, which included chopped red shrimp, negitoro, and salmon. I asked for extra rice. It was served in just 5 minutes, very quick! The taste was as expected, with good texture of the shrimp.

A few minutes' walk from Kawaramachi Station in Kyoto. I visited here today. The interior of the restaurant has counter seats and table seats, with slightly dim lighting. The main menu item is seafood bowls. So, I ordered the seared fatty salmon bowl. Let's dig in! The bowl is packed with salmon, rich in fat and quite filling. I found myself getting a bit tired of it halfway through, so having a variety of toppings on the bowl would probably increase satisfaction. Overall, it was a satisfying meal! The cheapest option is the Happy Bowl for 550 yen, which is quite affordable. On the other hand, there are also items that exceed 2,000 yen, so it seems like you can choose according to your needs. Also, there is soy sauce and wasabi mixed with soy sauce on the table, but unfortunately, there is no plain wasabi available.

I stumbled upon this restaurant while looking for a place where I could eat quickly, and I was immediately drawn in by the incredibly affordable Happy Bowl advertised on the sign. The restaurant was small, with about 3 or 4 table seats and 6 counter seats. Other than myself, there were mostly foreign tourists, and there were English menus available. The service was fast, and there were two types of soy sauce provided. The Happy Bowl was only 550 yen, which was a steal! Even though it was described as a small portion, it was actually quite satisfying. I was really happy to be able to enjoy a seafood bowl at this price.

I wanted to eat a seafood bowl, so I searched on Tabelog. There are options where you can choose your favorite toppings to create your own seafood bowl, which can be a bit overwhelming. However, I was drawn to a dish called the "Happy Bowl" priced at 550 yen. It included diced salmon, negitoro, spicy cod roe, small dried fish, marinated tuna, salmon marinated in miso, and salmon roe all arranged in bite-sized pieces. The soy sauce used is from Sabae City in Fukui Prefecture. Although I wish there was a bit more sashimi, the portion of rice was decent for the price. The miso soup is an additional charge, but overall, it's a good value for a casual meal. I wonder if there are any branches in Fukui Prefecture, but it seems like they have several stores in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka.

You can customize the dishes in various ways, but since it was my first time and I wasn't sure, I ordered something basic. It was delicious! The thickness and freshness were decent, considering the price. The interior of the restaurant is small, and it felt a bit cluttered when entering, but the soy sauce bottles and tables were clean.

I found a reasonably priced seafood bowl restaurant while looking for lunch with my 5-year-old. It was a small place, so I was a little worried that it might not be very child-friendly, but the Happy Bowl on the sign caught my eye, so we went in! We were able to sit at a table that had just opened up. It seemed like there was also a second floor. Even without asking, the waitress quickly brought children's tableware, which put me at ease. In this age of high prices, I was a bit skeptical that there could be a menu item as cheap as 550 yen, but when I ordered, it really existed! The Happy Bowl ☆ Small Udon Set. Wow! It's so delicious, even more so than the expensive seafood bowl I had at a certain tourist spot by the sea. I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't want to leave any, so I shared with my child, but we ended up fighting over it, so next time I'll order one portion each. I will definitely visit again. (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)

【Kyoto-Osaka Premium Car】On our way to DMT, we stopped by KWRMT for a ride (^ω^)♫ My husband used to come here a lot during his student days, so I decided to check it out too (←)www///////////Order///////////☆mydarling→Seafood and grated yam beef bowl☆me→Seafood and grated yam bowl///////////////////////////////【Seafood bowl】→It was super cheap at "all ¥360" (☆∀☆) The bowl was delicious, so I definitely want to stop by here when riding Kyoto-Osaka and Eizan Electric Railway ＼(^ω^)／!!

"Wakasaka Family Kawaramachi Store" (Kyoto, Kawaramachi) This time... 360 yen bowl Seafood trio beef and grated yam bowl Seafood beef and grated yam bowl Seafood and grated yam bowl, three types for 360 yen (excluding tax) I previously wrote an introduction article about the super value bowl for 390 yen (excluding tax) at "Echizen Wakasaka Family Sanjo Store" (Kyoto, in front of Kyoto City Hall) http://kazuuun.blog79.fc2.com/blog-entry-20323.html, but this one is even 30 yen cheaper. I ordered the seafood trio beef and grated yam bowl with salmon offcuts. It's rare to find seafood bowls at this price, let alone bowls in general."

I explored the area near Hankyu Kyoto Kawaramachi Station. I walked north on Kawaramachi Street from the station, and found this restaurant a little to the west. It seems to specialize in seafood bowls. I've been seeing more of these types of restaurants lately, but personally I haven't tried many, so I was curious. I arrived at 9pm, which is quite late. However, when I entered the restaurant, I was surprised to see that it was almost full. Even though it was the end of the year holiday, it was still impressive. There were mostly women as customers, but there were also a few men sitting at the counter facing the wall. Additionally, there were quite a few foreign customers, which left an impression on me. The atmosphere was like a fast food restaurant, in a good way. It was a relaxed environment. Now, onto the order. The menu seemed to have a variety of bowl options. However, I quickly decided on the "Uni, Ikura, Negitoro Bowl" (1,320 yen, plus 100 yen for extra large). Totaling 1,560 yen including tax. There was a sign near the entrance that said it was the "No. 1 popular dish", so I had already decided before entering. The dish arrived in less than 5 minutes after ordering. It was quite heavy when I picked up the bowl. The extra large portion seemed to have a generous amount of rice. I tried it immediately and... yes, the taste was satisfying. The "uni" and "ikura" were plentiful, and I could taste each flavor distinctly. The "negitoro" had a refined taste. Personally, I prefer it with a bit more texture, but this one was finely minced. The "shredded seaweed" between the ingredients and rice added a nice texture and flavor. It's not exactly cheap, but considering it's a seafood bowl with "uni" and "ikura", it's reasonably priced. It's a valuable restaurant for a casual seafood bowl experience. According to the wallpaper inside the restaurant, they also have a food challenge menu for those confident in their stomach capacity. If you're up for it, why not give it a try?

Visited in December 2018 with a rating of 3.23 on Tabelog. I went to "Wakasaka-ke Kawaramachi" for lunch today, a place where you can enjoy various seafood bowls. The menu had a variety of seafood bowls, and I decided to try the "Service Bowl" which included yellowtail, negitoro, and salmon. The restaurant had counter and table seating on the first floor, and I noticed there was also a second floor. I also ordered a side of mini udon with my bowl. The Service Bowl was delicious, especially the yellowtail which had a nice texture. The negitoro and salmon were decent. The only downside was that the udon soup was a bit too salty for my liking. Overall, it's a good place to enjoy a variety of seafood bowls.

It was cheap and delicious! The green onion topping was delicious!

Happy Donburi♪ It's only 520 yen, which is cheap! You can enjoy various ingredients in small portions. It's delicious to eat it with wasabi soy sauce.

There was a miso soup service limited to students. It was fun to be able to choose from various options, and the taste was also very satisfying.

I was able to choose my favorite toppings, so it was great. I don't eat tuna, so I was able to choose 3 toppings other than tuna for my bowl. I happened to visit on Ladies' Day and received a complimentary miso soup.

The value bowl is very delicious.
