August 23, 2024 open

BEFORE9" (Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture), a popular restaurant in the center of Kyoto, has been renovated and relaunched under the new name "BEFORE9 story to table" based on the concept of "story to table".

The goal is to create a sense of unity between the restaurant, the food, and the customers, and the second floor is equipped with a large long desk, creating a space where customers can relax and enjoy conversation. The counter is a prime spot for chatting with staff members Haruna Tamaki and Shuichi Matsuno, who select the food and drinks, while asking them for their recommendations.

Before9 food and beer

Raisu Croquettes with Corn Rice, Shiso Sauce and Parmigiano 750 yen and Suzunari (S) from Kyoto Brewery 750 yen, which is lush and fruity with a hint of sansho (Japanese pepper). Corn rice cooked with dashi broth, fried crispy and served with a sauce that combines Japanese and Western tastes.

The cuisine has also been redesigned, using local ingredients such as organic vegetables purchased in Ohara, and offering creative and genre-less dishes. The sake selection is based on eight taps of craft beer and carefully selected Japanese sake from all over Japan. The restaurant emphasizes a sense of seasonality in its sake selection, which ranges from refreshing white beers to rich sake aged for a long time.

Cuisine and Sake from before9

Ceviche of colorful vegetables, eggplant and sea bream with fish sauce: ¥950 and fried summer vegetables soaked in soup stock: ¥750 at Gg's in Ohara. Ceviche, meaning "marinated seafood," is arranged in a unique way and flavored with fish sauce. Sake (850 yen and up) goes well with the delicate flavors of Japanese cuisine.
