SOMA" (Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto) opened along Kiyamachi-dori, a historic street crowded with tourists. "SOMA" is a Hindu word meaning "moon god," and was named after the kawadoko (riverbed), which is likened to a moon viewing platform. The terrace seats offer a beautiful view of the moon, and many people visit to enjoy kawayuka-yuka, a summer tradition in Kyoto.
Pate de Campagne and colorful pickled vegetables, 1,300 yen. This dish is sprinkled with innovations such as cutting the fat into large pieces so that the chewy texture of the meat can be enjoyed. Enjoy the refreshing taste of the pickles with their strong acidity during the hot summer season!
The restaurant was opened with the idea of "offering a casual taste of Kyoto's kawadoko experience," and during the summer season from May 1 to October 15, customers can experience kawadoko, a summer tradition in Kyoto, without paying for a seat. Since you can order just a drink and an entrée, you can experience kawadoko for as little as 1,000 yen, making it the perfect place for a kawadoko debut. Three types of all-you-can-drink courses are available, perfect for parties and banquets.
[Green salad made with pesticide-free vegetables from Nishimura Vegetable Garden (*Price varies depending on the season). Plenty of seasonal vegetables seasoned with lemon and cheese-based dressing, a dish that goes well with alcohol.
The owner, Mr. Kida, also runs a construction company, so the Western-style building has Japanese architectural techniques sprinkled throughout. The interior walls are plastered by hand by a plasterer, and the exterior walls are covered with tiles made from the scraps of the Sun Building, which attracted attention at the 1970 Osaka World's Fair.
The cuisine is centered on Italian dishes that make the most of the flavors of the ingredients. The restaurant has an extensive drink menu, so we recommend that you ask what drinks go well together and enjoy pairing them.
