I use this restaurant for our regular girls' night out with six friends. I usually do the research for the restaurant. This time, we wanted oden or hot pot because it's cold, so I picked out various options and we decided on this place that none of us had been to before! We made a reservation two weeks in advance for a Friday night. The restaurant is located in Corridor Street and it was crowded because it was a Friday night! The place was already fully booked when we arrived!
The course we chose this time was the Gion Course with all-you-can-drink for 5,500 yen including tax. The menu included seasonal appetizers, daikon and crispy yuba salad, sashimi and seasonal vegetables carpaccio, Kyoto-style oden assortment, baked oysters, crab sauce over rolled omelette, chicken meatball hot pot, and udon for the finish.
The service was good, there were counter seats, table seats, and private rooms available. The all-you-can-drink course started at 5,500 yen. It was perfect for our girls' night out!
Even though the dishes were served individually, it was easy to share even with a large group. The oden assortment included daikon, egg, konjac, thick fried tofu, and bamboo shoots, with condiments like mustard, plum sauce, and green onions. There was also powdered sansho pepper and black shichimi pepper on the table, as well as salt. The crab sauce over rolled omelette was delicious, and everyone loved the chicken meatballs. We all wanted to eat a whole tube of it each! There were plenty of vegetables, and we finished with the udon. Despite eating oden and hot pot, we were all pleasantly full! It was also Setsubun that day, so we were given beans as a service. The staff at the restaurant were friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable. Thank you for the meal!
