Enjoy seasonal flavors and sake in a hideaway restaurant [Washu Kisai Yusan] now open in Gojo!

March 29, 2024 open

Sake bottles displayed to the ceiling make a big impact. The exposed beams are also impressive, giving the restaurant the feel of a building from the Taisho period. The cuisine is prepared by Masaru Nakabayashi, a Japanese chef with over 30 years of experience in Kyoto. He is conscious of adding his own unique twist to his dishes using seasonal ingredients purchased from markets in Kyoto and Osaka, which of course go well with the sake.

For example, spices and yogurt are added to saikyo-yaki pork to accentuate the flavor, and bamboo charcoal is used in shrimp mayo to give it a unique appearance. While the basic cuisine is Japanese, the restaurant offers dishes with a twist.

Sake selections are made according to the season, and a lineup of Japanese wines and whiskeys is also available. Whether you choose a seat at the counter, which has a custom-made washout with beautifully scattered pebbles, or a table with a view of the courtyard, enjoy this evening's dinner to your heart's content.

Grilled scallops and seasonal vegetables salad, 1,300 yen. A hearty dish of summer vegetables such as tomatoes, zucchini, and eggplant, colorfully arranged. The sesame dressing is mild in taste.

Pistachio Tempura for 800 yen and a bottle of sake for 1,200 yen and up. The crispy fried slightly sweet and savory beans with just the right amount of saltiness are the perfect accompaniment to beer. Once you start eating it, you won't be able to stop!
