I visited cenci for the first time, located near Heian Shrine. I drove there, and while the closest parking is at the Kyoto City Budo Hall, it closes at 9:30 PM, so I opted for a nearby parking lot (Mitsui Repark).The restaurant, renovated from a traditional Japanese house, has a calm and pleasant atmosphere, featuring a main dining area that feels semi-basement, with stairs leading up to a courtyard and private rooms.While waiting for my meal, I enjoyed a non-alcoholic gin lime.The prosciutto, made by a chef who trained in Italy for many years, was delicious when wrapped around the accompanying potatoes.The beef from a mature cow had a great texture and rich flavor.The added Den-suke eel risotto for JPY 3000 was also delightful.- Radish, yogurt, Ayu from the Tenryu River, tomato, eggplant, canistel- Potatoes, persimmon- Beans, cucumber, basil, brown rice, squid- Fennel, Kamo eggplant, okra, tomato, swordfish- Green asparagus, seaweed, sesame, sea urchin- Zucchini, tofu, lemon, mint- Jerusalem artichoke, cashew nuts, black koji, mature cow- Gin, cassis sprouts, watermelon, rhubarb- Goya, cucumber, marigold, surf clam, tagliolini- Corn, kinome, black garlic, Den-suke eel risotto- Mango, passion fruit, lime, Earl Grey, coconut- Amazon cacao, rye, cherry
