蕎麦・焼とり・釜めし 酒房すいしん 西院店

On May 17th, I went to a charming soba restaurant that reopened, built in the traditional Machiya style 👘.

The restaurant, called Sake Bar Suishin in Saiin, is located on the basement floor of a hotel, just a short walk from Saiin Station 🚃.

It's surprisingly luxurious for a place in a hotel basement, and there was also a second-floor seating area!!

There were both table seats and tatami rooms✨.

For drinks, I had grated white peach milk 🍑, which was rich and delicious🍑.

For the appetizer, we had kinpira gobo✨. It was loaded with ingredients like shirataki noodles and minced meat and was very tasty😊.

For the main dish, I tried the beef tripe simmered in Saikyo miso🐮. The mellow Saikyo miso and the abundance of tripe made it sweet, easy to eat, and delicious🐮.

The grilled chicken skirt steak 🐔 was a limited-time offer. It came sizzling hot on a plate with the skirt steak and onions🐔. It had a spicy kick from the shichimi and pepper, and the onions were soft and delicious🔥.

I also had sudachi soba✨, which was another limited-time item☀️. It had lots of sudachi and myoga, and its simple appearance was lovely✨. The soba had a nice texture, was filling, and delicious😍. The broth had a strong bonito flavor, which paired perfectly with the soba👌. The sudachi was refreshing, and the myoga added a nice zest—perfect for this season😊.

The restaurant caters to various customers, including tourists from abroad, families, and solo diners, and the menu is quite extensive✨.
