This time in Kyoto, we explored a new restaurant specializing in duck dishes for lunch on Shijo Street. The lunch course starts from 1,900 yen. You can change the main dish, switch white rice to a bowl, add coffee, etc., which will affect the price. First, a vegetable salad was served. Alongside a salad of duck and onsen tamago (hot spring egg) was a side of green Kujo green onion dressing, surprisingly light and refreshing. Overall, the flavors were subtly delicate. Next, an assortment of appetizers was served. A warm vegetable croquette filled with mushrooms, marinated cherry tomatoes, nama-fu (wheat gluten) and yuba (tofu skin), tofu butter gratin, mentaiko fish cake, miso-glazed eggplant, all enjoyed with a plum wine soda mix. For the main course, duck leg was served for me, while my companion had duck loin. Both were delicious, but I preferred the leg. My companion wished for a bit more in terms of portion size. It would be nice if you could add an extra dish a la carte. The rice was changed from white rice to a mini bowl of duck tartare style. It was delicious until the end. Finally, a seasonal parfait was served. I initially thought it would be a small glass size, but it was a regular size filled with fruits, wheat gluten, and ice cream. There was no sponge cake or cornflakes, just a true dessert assortment. You could choose from three types of ice cream, so I chose matcha, vanilla, and strawberry sherbet marble. With such a satisfying meal at this price, I was content! However, upon looking at the evening menu, my companion regretted not coming at night to enjoy a hearty duck meal. Otherwise, it's like the Taketei in Nagoya or Fushimi. Nevertheless, we enjoyed a delicious meal. Thank you for the feast.

We used the counter seats for two people. Although there seemed to be other customers on the second floor, we were able to spend a quiet time at the counter on the first floor. The taste was very delicious, and each dish was carefully prepared. I was particularly surprised by the volume of the dessert in a good way. We had a very good time. Thank you very much.

Don't be swayed by the ratings on Tabelog. The atmosphere is fantastic, the prices are great, and the taste is amazing. It's hard to believe that such delicious duck dishes are so reasonably priced, and the atmosphere and presentation are also wonderful. I can't wait to go back. The photo is of duck yukhoe bowl, and I couldn't help but say "delicious" as soon as I tasted it. I had the course menu as a side dish, and it was also delicious with generous portions.

On July 4th, Kyoto's duck cuisine restaurant, Kitagawa, reopened as a renewal from Yakitori Kaikaiseki Hokusai, located at 3 Benzaiten-cho, Sanjo-sagaru, Yamato-ohji-dori, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. You can enter the restaurant from both the riverside path and the back side of the shop on Nawate-dori. Inside the restaurant, there are counter seats on the right, restrooms and stairs to the second floor at the back, and table seats on the left with private rooms on the second floor. The menu features lunch and dinner courses using ducks raised in Kyoto with strict environmental and feed control. I opted for the lunch course. Cold tea was served first. The first dish arrived - Onsen Tamago, Duck Breast Salad with Vegetables served with homemade Kujo Negi dressing. It was a beautiful and stylish salad, and the Kujo Negi sauce added a nice touch. Breaking the Onsen Tamago revealed a delicious creamy yolk. Next came the appetizer platter with various items like Inari, Yuba, Summer Tomato Marinade, Tofu Skin with Soy Milk, Dry Fruit Butter, Edamame, Vegetable Croquette, Miso Eggplant, and Watermelon Kamaboko. Each dish was unique and delicious. The Duck Breast Cutlet with Kujo Negi salad was served next, accompanied by a special sauce, salt, and lemon. The crispy duck breast was tender and flavorful, especially when eaten with the provided salt. The Wakame Red Miso Soup with White Melon Pickles had a Kyoto-like flavor with a nice touch of Sansho pepper. Rice was refillable. Overall, the restaurant had a great atmosphere, authentic Kyoto dishes, beautiful presentation, and delicious food. I was very satisfied and will continue the review with more photos in a future post. Visit Eternal Rose for more photos not available on Tabelog. Thank you for reading.

On July 4th, Kyoto no Kamoyaki Cuisine Kitasai reopened at 3 Benzaiten-cho, Sanjo-sagaru, Yamatooji-dori, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. It used to be a yakitori course restaurant called Kitasai. The restaurant can be entered from both the Nawa-te Street and the Seseragi Road. The ducks used in the dishes are raised in Kyoto and their environment and feed are carefully managed. The lunch course includes a warm egg, duck meat salad, several types of appetizers, a choice of 6 main dishes, rice, soup, pickles, a glass parfait, duck breast cutlet, white melon pickles, seaweed miso soup, rice, Kyoto green onion salad, and special sauces, salt, and lemon. The crispy fried duck breast is delicious, tender, and without any unpleasant odor. Rice can be refilled, and coffee can be added for an additional fee. The luxurious salad, appetizers, and photogenic glass parfait, along with the calm atmosphere of the Kyoto-style interior, made for a very satisfying lunch course.

On July 4th, Kyoto's duck cuisine restaurant, Hokusaikan, reopened at 3 Benzaiten-cho, Yamato Oji-dori, Sanjo-sagaru, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City. The restaurant offers counter seats, table seats, and private rooms on the second floor. They use ducks that are raised in Kyoto with thorough management of the environment and feed. I ordered two lunch courses. The meal started with cold tea. The first course included a soft-boiled egg, duck breast salad with homemade Kujo green onion dressing, assorted appetizers, tofu skin with summer tomato marinade, soy milk dried fruit butter, vegetable croquette, miso-glazed eggplant, watermelon fish cake, and duck breast cutlet. The main dish was deep-fried chicken thigh with lemon and salt. Rice, pickled white melon, and red miso soup were served as well. The white melon pickle had a refreshing kick of sansho pepper. The dessert was a luxurious parfait with wine jelly, matcha ice cream, tofu skin, blueberries, watermelon, orange, and whipped cream. For an additional 200 yen, you could add coffee or tea. The hot coffee was followed by a surprise serving of cold water, which was greatly appreciated. I had thought Kyoto restaurants were expensive, but this place offered reasonably priced, beautifully crafted, and delicious dishes one after another. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I used this restaurant for my parent's birthday with my child. Thanks to being able to go up to the private room on the second floor, my child was able to make noise without bothering others, and there was even a diaper changing table in the restroom, so we were able to enjoy our meal in peace. The duck dishes were all delicious, and each appetizer was carefully prepared and tasty. In particular, the roast beef was very tender and full of flavor, which was great. The glass parfait at the end (+880 yen) was surprisingly large and delicious, making the whole family very satisfied.

The staff at the restaurant were very calm, and each dish had an elegant taste. The drinks were also plentiful. I was able to relax for the first time in a while.

For spring break lunch. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere and offers various duck dishes. The duck tartare bowl was delicious.

The appetizers were all luxurious and delicious, and the main dishes of duck roast and roast beef were excellent. The Yukke Don is a must-try! Even the dessert parfait at the end was luxurious, and although I was full, I didn't feel heavy. I was satisfied with the quality of the food from start to finish. The owner and staff were also very kind, making me feel truly fulfilled. Thank you very much.

I came for dinner last time and it was delicious, so this time I came for lunch. My friend from Tokyo also loved it! Everything was so delicious and beautifully presented. I will definitely come back again!

I am very satisfied. Thank you very much.

I used it for lunch. The food, service, and atmosphere inside the restaurant were all wonderful. I can't help but want to go again, including cost performance.

Everything was delicious! The elegant dishes made me feel like I was in Kyoto!

The atmosphere was nice and relaxing. I can confidently recommend this wonderful restaurant. The food and desserts were delicious and satisfying.

I had the roast duck course. The appetizer was well-balanced and delicious, and the main duck was tender and flavorful with various condiments.
