New development of a yakitori restaurant popular since the yatai days in Saiin [Kyoto Yatai Seseri]

May 8, 2024 open

［The sister restaurant of Yoshidayama Seseri, which was a legendary yatai stall in front of Yoshida Shrine for 40 years and later became a popular restaurant near Kyoto Station, has opened. The owner, Hiroyuki Yanagi, runs the restaurant with his family, cherishing the flavors inherited from his grandfather who started the stall, including the famous seseri.

The style of grilling the chicken yourself over charcoal in a special sunken hearth made of a single hollowed-out board is very interesting. The Omaozakura from Kagoshima, which has passed strict standards and can be tasted as sashimi, is a rare brand of chicken that is hard to find in Kyoto.

The specialty seseri 300 yen, limited to one per person, is a sumptuous portion of two seseri, the part of the fish around the neck. Mr. Yanagi's mother, who has been in the business for about 50 years, skillfully rolls the fish to lock in the flavor and grill it.

There is also a full lineup of non-chicken entrées, such as water kimchi and oden, which is a favorite of my mother's. Mr. Yanagi, a former bartender, is also particular about his alcoholic beverages, and his lineup includes natura wines and grilled sake that is heated over an open hearth. In front of the bar is a standing drinking area with a popular wooden counter, so we recommend stopping by for a drink.

Kuro (Chicken Motsuni) (400 yen): whole Oama cherry nuts, kumquats, and the membranous part of the breast meat, etc., are stewed in a bowl. The sweet and spicy seasoning with a hint of ginger makes the drink go down a treat. Sansho chu-hi (chu-hai with Japanese pepper): 750 yen. Sansho (Japanese pepper) is soaked in shochu (distilled spirit) to extract the extract of the pepper. The spiciness is refreshing and addictive. Chewing on the sansho can also accentuate the flavor of dishes.
