This European restaurant opened in 1970 inside of a renovated Iberian-style house originally built in 1929 to house the art collection of the Japanese-style painter Hashimoto Kansetsu.

Guests can enjoy these and other items in the restaurant's open garden, which is surrounded by flowers.

Paid ~6000 JPY for three small pizzas (even the large option is quite small, the small very smal), would classify this place more towards the tourist trap segment than a restaurant and there are...

The classical wood grain interior of the shop gives a classic western-restaurant feel and you can enjoy all sorts of sauces and dressings with a variety of hand made dishes.

店名にびっくりしますが、辛い物の専門店では全然なくて、シチュー、グラタン、スパゲッティを出す町の洋食屋さん。外観は古びていますが、中はちょっとばかりモダンな感じ。ランチタイムには日替わり定食や、弁当も出しているようですが、ビーフシチューを選択。ランチのメニューの中では高めですが、トロトロでおいしいです。

Kyoto Areas

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.
