Course: JPY 22,000Alcohol: 5 drinksTotal: JPY 30,000This Japanese restaurant is a 7-minute walk from Gion-Shijo Station. I made a reservation by phone before visiting.Unlike many Kyoto restaurants, they offer a la carte options, but this time I opted for the course menu.They use the finest ingredients sourced that day. Although it wasn't on the course menu, they had the first catch of the season, Torigai (clam), priced at JPY 8,500, which a la carte customers ordered.The flavors were a bit stronger than typical Kyoto cuisine, but the dishes highlighted the ingredients well, making for a delicious meal.I think the a la carte menu would be even more enjoyable than the course.It was a great meal.Course Menu:◯ Fresh Yuba and Corn Soup with Junsai◯ Anago Sushi◯ Sashimi of Sea Bream, Sea Urchin, Chutoro, Otoro, and Aburame◯ Grilled Hamo (Pike Conger)◯ Lotus Root Tofu with Eel◯ Soft-Shelled Turtle Soup◯ Grilled Sweetfish◯ Steamed Fig with Sake◯ Simmered Aburame◯ Fried Kamo Eggplant◯ Rice with Dried Baby Sardines◯ Red Miso Soup◯ Pickles◯ Fruits
