The battleground of Korean cuisine! Enjoy crispy and fluffy pancakes at the original King of Chijimi, a 5-minute walk from Kyoto Station!

In the Kujo area, south of Kyoto Station, the battleground for Korean cuisine in Kyoto, the Korean restaurant Ganso Chijimi no Ousama (King of Chijimi) (Minami-ku, Kyoto), which has been a favorite of regular customers since its opening in 2005, reopened in September 2023 after a renovation.

The neon "King" sign on the exterior is the restaurant's landmark. The restaurant has three floors, with each floor having a different atmosphere, from a pop design with neon signs to a casual and relaxed space, allowing customers to enjoy Korean cuisine in a different atmosphere each time they visit.

Chapchae of the King of Jjimini

Japchae with a twist on omoni (mother's) flavor: 500 yen. Chewy Korean vermicelli with green peppers, carrots, pork, and other ingredients are seasoned a little sweetly to suit Japanese tastes. The aroma of sesame oil doubles your appetite for this must-try dish!

The restaurant's menu, which enjoys the enthusiastic support of regular customers, is full of familiar Korean dishes arranged to Japanese tastes from the owner's mother's home cooking.

The King of Chijimi's Famous Chijimi

The signature dish, the King of Chijimi, is 800 yen. It is quite filling with pumpkin, chives, onions, cabbage, and pork. In addition, Korean rice cake "tteok" is added, making it chewy and very satisfying!

The most popular classic among them is the famous King of Chijimi. Compared to Korean pancakes, it is fluffy and thick. They are served on an iron plate with a sizzling sound in front of the guests. This style was adopted so that the pancakes can be eaten hot. Enjoy the crispy outside and fluffy inside with a special soy sauce-based sauce.

King of Chijimi Drink

The all-you-can-drink menu offers a wide variety of alcohol. The all-you-can-drink menu includes not only highballs and soju, but also Korean beer, various flavored Korean soju, and even the popular makgeolli!
