Creative cuisine combining Japanese and French cuisine near Kyoto Station [Shokudo Mankichi

February 29, 2024 open

［Shokudo Bankichi (Minami-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture), a sister restaurant of Frenchman, is a hot spot for its fusion of Japanese and French cuisine. The owner, Mr. Minami, who has worked as a sushi chef for more than 30 years, came up with the idea for this creative dish, and the French chef offered his opinions and discussed how to make it a reality. Another feature of Shokudo Bankichi is that customers can experience the final process of rolling and mixing the sushi rolls themselves.

Interior view of Bankichi Owner, Mr. Minami

The name of the restaurant is derived from the name of his grandfather, who lived to be 100 years old as a sailor and chef on Amami Oshima, with the wish that "ten thousand will become a fortune and last for a long time. The atmosphere of Amami-Oshima is scattered throughout the restaurant, such as the Mincer-weaved coasters and the tropical fruit papaya paired with the seafood. The bright and cheerful Minami's cuisine will fill you with a sense of well-being.

Bankichi Wagyu Beef and Foie Gras Sussini

Example of Bankichi, Extreme Course, 17,600 yen, Wagyu beef and foie gras sushini. The name is a cross between Rossini and sushi. The juicy beef and mellow, melt-in-your-mouth foie gras create an exquisite balance in the mouth of this sushi roll.

Bankichi Kuzu somen noodles with sea urchin and salmon roe

An example of a course, Kuzu Somen with Sea Urchin and Salmon Roe. The texture of the kuzu somen reminds one of pasta al dente. The live performance of pouring the mixture into the soup and mixing it is also a highlight of the dish.
