Japanese restaurant "Minaka" in front of Kyoto Station serves rice cooked in an earthenware pot, the pride of the proprietress.

About a 5-minute walk from Kyoto Station, this Japanese restaurant is located in a quiet area with no cars passing by, past Hello Work and a little to the north. The owner, Hiroko Taniguchi, who has moved twice in the city of Kyoto, has fulfilled her wish of "making dishes while meeting customers face to face" at the counter.

Taro Manju, a classic menu item with many fans, is 640 yen. The sweetness of the taro is matched with an ankake (bean paste) that is flavored with Kyoto's refined broth.

Obanzai made with seasonal ingredients purchased that day are gently seasoned to soothe the body and soul. After enjoying sake with your favorite obanzai and hot oden soaked in the flavor of the broth, finish with freshly cooked rice in an earthenware pot.

One and a half cups of earthenware gohan (rice in an earthenware pot) (chirimen sansho), which is surprisingly full of chirimen sansho made at the restaurant, costs 2,000 yen. Homemade sesame seeds are also fragrant.

Many regular customers come for the earthenware rice pot filled with homemade chirimen sansho (Japanese pepper).
