    平日のランチに友人と行きました。3000円のランチは、メインを選び、その他の前菜、スープ、デザートコーヒー紅茶はビュッフェでというスタイルでした。 メインにガレットを選んだのですが、そば粉の生地がちょっと硬すぎて、ん?という感じでした・・・以前もディナーで伺ったことがあり、美味しいレストランの印象だったので、すこし驚きましたが他はホテルメイドの味でした。落ち着いた雰囲気、外の日本庭園が見えるのもポ...

    Kyoto Maizuru-shi Hama 254
    This restaurant is in northern Kyoto's Maizuru City, the chef's hometown. It makes use of the fruits of mountain and sea from all four seasons to create cuisine that the couple running it hopes will soothes body and soul. They are supplied directly by contracted farms and fisherman friends, and decide the day's menu based on what's available. On days when they can't get satisfactory ingredients, they close. This shop is perfect for letting time go by as you sit and savor exquisitely flavored cuisine. It's about five minutes' drive from Maizuru Station. Look for the stylish red and white exterior.

    夫婦でランチをいただきました。コースとセットをシェアしてちょうど良い量でした。さすが京都のイタリアン、盛り付けがとても美しく、料理の味をさらに美味しく感じさせてくれました。カウンターの中の広くない厨房で、シェフやスタッフがテキパキ仕事をこなす姿に、好感が持てました。

    16, Kinugasa Kita-arami-cho, Kita-ku, Kyoto-shi, Kyoto

    金閣寺に近い店。住宅街にあり、隠れ家の趣です。主人はフレンチレストランの経験もあるとのことなので、さり気にフレンチっぽい感じもあります。こちらの名物のサバ鮨は美味しいし、姿が端正。料理が美味しい事にプラスされた、奥様と主人の二人の醸し出す雰囲気も良いです。

Kyoto Areas

around-area-map

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
