A 14-minute walk from JR Enmachi Station, I visited the renowned Japanese restaurant "Kyotenjin Noguchi," which has received the SILVER AWARD and is listed among Japan's top 100 Japanese restaurants.This establishment is by invitation only, so I was fortunate to be invited and arrived at 5:30 PM on a weekday.The owner, Mr. Noguchi, previously worked at Wakuden and opened his own restaurant in 2011. He offers exquisite Japanese cuisine that combines traditional Kyoto cooking techniques with innovative dishes.Every dish was delicious, but the standout was the Hamo no Shimo-suki. The hot, shabu-shabu Hamo served on a plate with ice was incredibly tender, with a smooth texture and intense umami flavor. It’s hands down the best Hamo I’ve ever had. After tasting such delicious Hamo, I doubt I could enjoy it anywhere else!I savored every bite until the end.【Today's Menu】1. Abalone, Clam, and Sweet Potato Stems 2.
