My daughter and I visited this restaurant with an acquaintance who made a reservation for us at night. We ordered dishes such as silver cod saikyo-yaki, simmered vegetables, and seasonal tempura. Each dish was carefully prepared and delicious. What surprised us was the excellent value for money. Despite ordering various dishes, we were amazed by the reasonable prices. When visiting Kyoto, be sure to make a reservation in advance and choose this restaurant.

The sashimi, blowfish stew, sukiyaki, and fried chicken were all delicious!

After experiencing the geisha makeover in Kyoto, I found a restaurant for dinner by chance. I thought it looked quite fancy from the outside, but the cost performance was actually really good. We started with a toast with beer. The restaurant was clean and had a nice ambiance. The chef seemed quite young. We ordered a variety of dishes. The fish was delicious! The Kyoto cuisine was great, and even the kids were enjoying it. What caught my eye was the tempura made from "mukago". I had never heard of mukago before, but it had a texture similar to sweet potatoes or beans. It was addictive. We also ordered hot sake, which paired well with the delicious food. Everything we tried was tasty. I love Kyoto so much! I can't stop saying it. With this delicious food at such a price, are they making a profit? I think that's how it was! This happened a little while ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy, sorry. But I do remember feeling really happy and satisfied with the delicious meal. I will definitely write a review when I visit Gion next time. This is a restaurant I want to come back to. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

From Hankyu Kawaramachi Station, it takes a little over 10 minutes, and from Keihan Gion Shijo Station, it takes just under 10 minutes. This restaurant is located near Kennin-ji Temple, close to Yasaka Shrine, making it a perfect spot to satisfy your hunger after sightseeing in Kyoto. The exterior has a charming Kyoto-style look, and inside, there are about 7 counter seats and 3 tables for 4 people each in the tatami area, which can be customized based on the number of guests. When we visited on a Saturday evening, the tatami area was already occupied by a group, and soon after, regular customers started coming in, indicating that the restaurant is quite popular. Although I don't remember the exact prices from our visit, ordering beer (Kirin, medium bottle), highball, one drink, and two dishes for two people cost around 2500 yen per person, which is quite affordable. Not only is it affordable, but the quality of the food is also very high. The complimentary dish included marinated ikura with yam, which had a mild acidity and was very tasty. We also ordered the following dishes ourselves: - Tempura of cloud ear fungus During winter in Kyoto, various restaurants offer cloud ear fungus dishes. Despite the elegant appearance of this small restaurant, the dish was surprisingly generous, with plenty of other ingredients like eggplant and shishito peppers accompanying the cloud ear fungus. There were about 5 pieces of cloud ear fungus, making it a substantial dish. - Simmered yellowtail with daikon in katsuobushi broth Intrigued by the unique combination, we decided to try this dish, and it was delicious. The yellowtail and daikon absorbed the flavors of the katsuobushi broth, resulting in a tender and flavorful texture. The broth was rich and full of umami, and we finished it all. If you're looking for a cozy atmosphere, this restaurant is suitable for families, solo diners, couples, or friends. It's easy to visit and highly recommended for those exploring Kyoto.

This is a small shop tucked away on a quiet side street, but the atmosphere is great and the cost performance is excellent compared to other places in the area. It was quite cold that day, so we decided to go in for some hot pot. The interior of the shop is not very spacious, with only two tatami seating areas and a counter. Even with just 10 people, the space feels full, but the bright and cozy atmosphere makes up for it. We tried two different types of hot pot, and the katsu soup hot pot was especially delicious and warmed us up nicely. The oden was also flavorful and satisfying. We enjoyed various dishes and drinks for just a little over 2,000 yen per person. When we heard the price, we thought we misheard because it was so reasonable. We definitely want to visit again.

When I went on a trip to Kyoto with my wife, we stumbled upon this restaurant while wandering around the Gion district near Hanami Koji. The interior of the restaurant was simple, but the menu had a lineup that truly embodied the essence of Kyoto cuisine. We ordered the following based on instinct: 1) Simmered eggplant and dried young sardines: A delightful dish that perfectly combined the flavors of eggplant soaked in sardine broth, which paired well with a refreshing sake. 2) Deep-fried fresh wheat gluten with dashi sauce: A dish not commonly found in the Kanto region, with a delicious filling. 3) Purple beans: These were Kyoto-grown edamame harvested around November, with larger and flavorful beans compared to regular ones. 4) Deep-fried arrowhead and sakura shrimp: A common dish, but the chewy texture of the arrowhead and the crispy sakura shrimp, along with the fragrance, made it exceptional. Served with salt, it was a perfect match for beer. 5) Roasted ginkgo nuts with salt: Ginkgo nuts roasted in their shells with salt, evoking a deep sense of autumn. We ended with a clear red soup. Despite enjoying a considerable amount of sake, the bill came to around 3000 yen per person. This review marks the first for this restaurant, and in the upscale Gion area, it was a place where we could enjoy high-quality Kyoto cuisine with great value for money. I hope to visit again someday. Thank you for the wonderful meal. <(_ _)>
