AI Spot Summary

The dishes use ingredients from Kyoto and offer delicacies such as caviar rice vermicelli and beef tendon mapo tofu. The donabe rice is particularly well-cooked, and the charm lies in being able to enjoy a variety of dishes in small portions. Antique spoons are used for the desserts.

The shop is located near Yasaka Shrine and has a stylish atmosphere where you can relax. There is also a wine bar on the second floor, creating a chic space.

It is completely reservation-based, and the non-alcoholic pairing is carefully explained by the sommelier. For the 8 PM reservation, there was only one person, and the service was attentive, with a send-off from the head chef and sommelier.

Just over a one-minute walk from Yasaka Shrine
Opened on November 1, 2024, and this was my first visit on the opening day.

■ Non-alcohol Pairing
Nine drinks consisting of

  • I heard that if you wish for a Chinese tea pairing in advance, it can be accommodated. If nothing is mentioned, the pairing ordered this time will be served.

■ Impressions
After tasting everything, the chopsticks were thin, but everything was quite easy to eat.

The non-alcoholic drinks paired with the meal were explained very thoroughly by the sommelier with additional details about each ingredient, and they showed the actual materials, which was very clear and helpful.

While none of the dishes were extraordinarily standout, I appreciated being able to sample a variety of dishes. There were a few dishes I definitely wanted to eat more of.

Particularly, the claypot rice was cooked excellently, and the numbness of the beef tendon mapo tofu was right on point.

The spoons used for dessert are reportedly antiques collected by the owner as a hobby, and they were beautifully designed.

The rare raw pu-erh tea I had at the end was the most delicious, and I really enjoyed it.

Next time, I want to pre-order the Chinese tea pairing.

It seems I was the only one who booked the 8 PM slot, so I was able to enjoy my time leisurely. When leaving, the sommelier and the head chef came to see me off.

Since I was on my own, I felt they were very attentive and the service was excellent.
