Japanese Restaurant Kyokabutoya

Pot-cooked rice, as offered with every kaiseki (course menu). With each silvery, shining grain of rice falling lightly and luxuriantly in the mouth, its gentle flavor grows.

The dashi (broth) is made with special attention to the balance of bonito and kombu (kelp). The robust aroma fills the air the moment the lid is lifted, and the light flavor fills the body.

The image was made in early spring. Grilled shiitake mushrooms are used as the base, and Matsuba crab, raw sea urchin, butterbur sprouts, and sesame cream add a fragrant and rich flavor.

In addition to fresh seafood such as tuna, striped jack, sea bream, and salmon roe, the soft yellow chives are also delicious. The owner's playfulness shines through as he treats Kyoto turnips as canapes.

The soup stock is made with a perfect balance of bonito and kelp. The moment you remove the lid, the rich aroma rises and the light flavor permeates your entire body.

The menu changes each month based on a different theme, such as Japanese customs and events. Enjoy seasonal ingredients, seafood and mountain delicacies, and other snacks to go with your drinks.

The dish is full of umami, with Kujo leek hirousu (a type of fried onion) and duck meatballs. The shark fin paste, flavored with dashi, creates a smooth texture.

All kaiseki courses come with rice cooked in a kettle. Each grain of rice shines silver, and when you put it in your mouth, it's plump and chewy, with a gentle sweetness spreading throughout your mouth.
