Enjoy Japanese food and drink pairings at Miyagawa-cho Hotta near Kiyomizu Gojo Station

June 14, 2023 open

Hotta-san, standing behind the counter at Miyagawa-machi, one of Kyoto's Hanamachi districts, provided food lovers with a delightful experience from 2019 until February of this year at Gion Sakaki's affiliate restaurant, Shokubaa Rakuji. I am very grateful that many of my customers have been with me since my last job," he said. [Since [Shokubaa Rakuji] was a bar that mainly served alcoholic beverages, we experienced a period of time when we had to close due to the Corona disaster. However, I wanted to make it a meaningful time, so during that period I obtained sommelier and sake diploma certifications. At this restaurant, I also offer drink pairings with seasonal dishes," he says.

All dishes are examples of the 20,000 yen omakase course. Steamed suppon (soft-shelled turtle) soup cooked only with kombu (kelp) and sake. Suppon tsukune and wax gourd together.

Only omakase courses are available. Eight to nine dishes are served, including nagashi, appetizers, bowls, sashimi, and fried dishes. The summer menu includes fried pike conger sandwiches, cold noodles, peach shaved ice, taiyaki, and many other playful dishes that go beyond the boundaries of what Japanese cuisine in Gion should be like.

Grilled barracuda slowly grilled over charcoal after inserting eringi mushrooms. The aroma of chrysanthemum flowers is wafted from the bean paste.

In addition to a selection of wines and sake, we also offer non-alcoholic drinks such as cedar-scented mocktails. In the future, the premise of a restaurant is that you can choose whether or not to drink alcohol and enjoy either way. We want to create a place where people can enjoy our food freely.
