This was my first visit to the restaurant. It is a Tabelog Award SILVER 2026 selected establishment. Among the popular Japanese restaurants in Kyoto, it is relatively easy to make a reservation, which is appreciated. They handle fish from Sasae Maeda, with sea bream making up about 70% of their offerings. There are five types of rice dishes available, allowing for adjustments based on your appetite.Here is today’s menu:◎ Steamed Hairy Crab (female, from Noto): served with inner roe and snap peas. It has a pleasant acidity and a fragrant dashi.◎ Young Sweetfish and Narezushi: the combination of the bitterness of sweetfish and the acidity and sweetness of narezushi is outstanding.◯ Stone Bream (mixed with bracken), Sweet Shrimp, Udo◯ First Dashi from Bonito Flakes◯ Sea Bream Soup (using the previously mentioned bonito dashi): with Okahijiki, large cucumber, and yuzu flowers.◯ Grilled Young Bream: the white fish has a wonderful flaky texture. The vinegar made with doburoku and the citrus aroma provide a nice accent.◎ Aori Squid, Asparagus, Kale Sauce, Pine Nuts◯ Fried Sea Bream with Edamame, Beets, Udo, and Carrots◯ Marinated Isaki Rice Bowl◯ Jako Rice Bowl with Egg◎ Clam Dashi Ramen◎ Firefly Squid Takikomi Rice◯ Scallop Tamagoyaki◯ Pineapple from Okinawa and Soy Milk Ice Cream◯ Usui Bean Floating Island◯ Matcha
