Japanese restaurant near Nijo Castle opened by an up-and-coming chef [Cuisine Ya En
June 20, 2024 open
After passing through the large curtain with the restaurant's symbolic "Enso" painted on it, you will find a spacious area with counter seats made of a single piece of pine wood. The flooring is made of bamboo, a rare material, and chopstick rests are made of ume (Japanese apricot) wood, creating a heartwarming combination of pine, bamboo, and plum.
Watanabe moved from Kanagawa to Kyoto to master Japanese cuisine, where he honed his skills at such renowned restaurants as Higashiyama Kichisu and Ariku before setting up his own restaurant. His motto is to visit the producers directly and use only ingredients that he is satisfied with.
All dishes are examples of the 22,000 yen evening course. A dish of mashed okra stretched in broth and served with rare beef. The green and red colors are beautiful. The meat dish was created in response to a customer request.
Dessert is a cocktail of Yubari melon. A little sake is added and the concentration of Yubari melon is 901 TP3T, which gives it a rich taste. We want our guests to enjoy the course to the end," says the chef, who also puts a lot of thought into desserts.
Freshly picked vegetables delivered every morning from Kamigamo and Shugakuin are said to be surprisingly fresh. Sake and wine pairing courses are also recommended to enhance the flavor of the dishes. The weekend breakfast special of 6,000 yen includes sashimi and rice cooked in an earthenware pot, allowing you to enjoy authentic dishes from the morning.
