Oyakodon with a soft-boiled egg at Gion Shimogawara Hisago, a soba restaurant in Gion, Kyoto

Since its establishment in 1930, Gion Shimogawara Hisago (Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto) has been satisfying the stomachs of many people. Locals often queue up at lunchtime for the restaurant's excellent "Nishin-soba" and its popular oyakodon (chicken and egg on rice bowl). This famous restaurant is loved by a wide range of customers, including not only locals but also tourists.

A hearty bowl of oyakodon (rice topped with chicken and eggs) for 1,100 yen. The fluffy half-boiled egg and the slightly sweet broth are a perfect match and can be eaten in small portions.

The restaurant's specialties are the broth made from mackerel bones and natural Hokkaido kelp. It is characterized by its deep and rich flavor.
The oyakodon, made using their special broth, is one of the most popular items on their menu. The slightly sweet broth soaks into the kujo leeks and chicken meat, and the melty half-boiled egg and the good aroma of the broth whet your appetite.

The restaurant is dotted with tourist attractions, so we recommend stopping by on your way to see the sights. In addition to rice bowls, the restaurant is also proud of its noodles, which have been served for three generations since the establishment of the restaurant. Visit to savor the tradition that has been preserved.
