TRAM: A New Age Kaku-uchi (corner bar) Gaining Attention in Saiin...
Get off at Saiin Station on the Hankyu/Randen Line and go east on Shijo Dori to the south side of the street to find Nikomi Shokudo Kimura.
The restaurant offers its signature stewed dishes and creative dishes, etc., as well as a full lineup of alcoholic beverages.
The restaurant has counter seating and some menu items are available in half-size portions, making it easy to come in by yourself.
As the name of the restaurant suggests, Nikomi Shokudo Kimura serves a variety of Japanese and Western stewed dishes.
Western-style stewed dishes include "beef cheeks stewed in red wine," "stewed hamburger steak," "beef balls stewed in red wine and miso," and "seafood bouillabaisse. Japanese stewed dishes include "Stewed Beef Stew" and "Stewed Pork Kakuni," as well as "Stewed Radish with Cheese," which incorporates Western elements.
Every time I visit, I can't decide which one to order.
In the midst of all this, I ordered the half-size grilled daikon radish cheese with stewed radish.
The well-seasoned daikon radish is so tender that it can be cut with chopsticks!
The charred, melted cheese has an appetizing savory flavor.
While the flavor is typical of Japanese stewed dishes, the addition of cheese makes it a perfect match for wine.
The dishes are served in hot bowls with a "please be careful, it's hot," so they don't get cold easily, showing the attention to detail and care for the food.
In addition to stewed dishes, the restaurant also offers a wide variety of creative dishes using seasonal ingredients, a la carte menus, and rice and pasta dishes to finish the meal.
The all-you-can-drink course includes a lineup of stewed dishes, salads, snack menus, and grilled dishes.
From the recommended a la carte dishes, we ordered the "Stir-fried Oysters with Seasonal Vegetables, Mushrooms and Bacon in Garlic".
The vegetables include potherb mustard, carrots, snap peas, and broccoli, while the mushrooms include shimeji mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and maitake mushrooms, giving it the feel of a hot salad.
The texture of each vegetable can be enjoyed, and the plump oysters are exquisite.
The bacon and garlic flavors also accentuate the taste.
The "One Drink Set," which includes three snacks and a drink, is convenient for those who want to have a quick drink.
The restaurant is open to one person, so you can use the restaurant on your own.
On this day, three kinds of dishes were served: dashimaki tamago (rolled egg), spicy chicken, and potato salad.
The dashimaki is delicious and the dashi broth soaks into the mouth.
The spicy chicken is appetizingly seasoned and the potato salad is mustardy and filling.
The volume is perfect for when you want to enjoy a little bit of different flavors and drink a little bit.
Drinks can be selected from the menu for less than 800 yen, including beer, highballs, and wine.
The snacks will make you want to refill your drink!
The "one-drink set" can be enjoyed as a luxurious one-person dinner by adding rice or pasta to finish the meal.
