Found near Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto! Kiji-soba at Kijiya, a lunch-only restaurant that lavishly uses domestic pheasant meat.

May 4, 2023 open

［Nishikizuru Restaurant (Kita-ku, Kyoto), established in 1976, is located a 3-minute walk from Kinkakuji Temple. Kijiya will open in the spring of 2023 as a new venture next to this restaurant, which has an established reputation for authentic Kyoto cuisine. Kijiya offers for lunch only Kiji soba (buckwheat noodles) made with high protein, low calorie Japanese pheasant meat.

Kiji Soba with Japanese pheasant meat in a broth carefully drawn by Japanese food artisans is 1,430 yen. Enjoy the toppings of seared pheasant meat, half-boiled egg marinated in kelp, yuba leaves, and shiraganegi on top of the noodles.

There are two flavors: soy sauce and salt. Before ordering, customers can taste the pre-seasoned pheasant broth and choose their favorite flavor. The popular Kiji Soba Dashi Chazuke set offers a variety of ways to enjoy the dashi with toppings and rice.

The Kiji Soba Dashi Chazuke Set (1,760 yen) comes with rice made from Kinuhikari rice produced by contract farmers in Kameoka, Kyoto, and seafood broth made from scallops and dried shrimp. The rice can also be enjoyed as chazuke by pouring the broth over the rice.

The large windows and vaulted ceiling create a sense of openness, and the restaurant overlooks a Japanese garden, perfect for entertaining. One of the largest lanterns in Japan sits in the garden.
