A new restaurant found in front of Kamigamo Shrine in Kyoto! A buffet at KAMIGAMO KIRIN, where you will be delighted by the shining vegetables!
May 15, 2023 open
[In front of the torii gate of Kamigamo Shrine, a curtain with the name "Kirin" on it catches the eye. This is a sister restaurant of the popular "Rai-nei" restaurant in Ohara, which is famous for its buffet. It opened on May 15 this year, the day of the Aoi Matsuri (hollyhock festival), and offers the same buffet-style lunch.
Vegetables are best eaten where they come from. That is why we opened our restaurant in Ohara. We mainly use vegetables from Kamigamo, but we also use ingredients from Ohara and Miyama to provide a unique taste," says owner Nakayama. The vegetables that meet the standards of Mr. Nakayama, who is a certified vegetable sommelier, are transformed into a variety of dishes each day. In the fall, mushrooms, potatoes, and other seasonal delicacies are served with great flavor.
The dishes, of course, are served on a variety of cute little plates, and the moment when you arrange them as you wish is also enjoyable. The customers sit around a large table, so there is a lot of conversation among them, and the atmosphere naturally becomes lively," he says.
The all-you-can-eat menu of about 15 types of obanzai is based on Japanese flavors and skillfully incorporates herbs and condiments to create a taste that you will never get tired of. In addition to the obanzai, three of today's dish, three onigiri rice balls, and a dessert are also included to comfortably fill your stomach. The take-out Kamigamo bento and daily rice ball bento are also popular.
