Kyogoku Kaneyo's kinshidon (regular)

Kinshidon (average) 2,800 yen. A simple and powerful combination of Kyoto-style soup rolls and Edo-grilled eel. Enjoy changing the taste by adding extra sauce or Japanese pepper.

Kinshidon at Kyogoku Kaneyo has been in the Shinkyogoku area for over 100 years.

A long-established eel restaurant that has been watching over Kyoto's townspeople for over 100 years, wafting a gentle fragrance from under its red lanterns onto Rokkaku Street. In the days when there were theaters all over the Shinkyogoku area where people could enjoy performing arts and rakugo, eel was said to be useful as a meal before or after a performance, or as a souvenir for the theater.

Also, what is essential for this Edo-yaki eel, which is steamed and then grilled over Bincho charcoal, is the large-sized dashimaki that protrudes from the bowl. The elegant dashimaki with konbu seaweed perfectly complements the rich flavor of the eel. The ``Kaneyo Yose'' event is held on the last Monday of every month on the 2nd floor, which still retains the atmosphere of its founding, so if you have the chance, be sure to check it out.
