The house special at Spice Chamber is keema curry, a dry minced-meat-based Southeast Asian dish. At Spice Chamber it’s been on the menu for years. Be warned, though: If you’ve become acclimatized to the sweetness and safety of Japanese curry, the keema curry at ...
Kiln’s burger is made of 100 percent beef dry-aged for 40 days. It tastes delightful, with the right balance of meat and fat. While it’s possibly a little overcooked for Chang’s liking, I’m sure the staff could cook it to your preference. The wagyu ...
in 2016, Iori will celebrate its 300th anniversary of making sweets. The menu may be spare, but what’s on offer is wonderful. Whether you are new to wagashi (traditional Japanese confectionery) or have developed a taste for it, I recommend trying the two parfaits, ...
Totoya is simple, unfussy and serves quality food at — thankfully — reasonable prices. A kaisendon (seafood rice bowl) served with soup is only ¥1,000. The space is shared with a fishmonger out front and as an added bonus, on Wednesday and Friday evenings ...
Miyako Yasai Kamo Nasu — a mouthful if ever there was one — is a chain of buffet restaurants offering all-you-can-eat vegetables for breakfast (¥490), lunch (¥880) and dinner (¥1,350). Various sorts of local, seasonal produce is on offer, including kamonasu (a Kyoto variety ...
Steaks and hot dogs are the main draw, and the “service lunch” — a 200-gram steak with the option of a big wiener on the side, combined with soup, salad, grilled eggplant, spinach, fries and bread or rice for ¥1,200 — is about the ...
Meals commence with a sweet sake aperitif served in a petite wooden saucer. Inevitably you’ll meet Miyazawa’s specialty: grilled goma-dofu (sesame tofu). This bite-sized portion of marshmallow-like tofu is smothered in sesame seeds. Miyazawa serves this throughout the year, adding seasonal touches such as ...
Review excerpt: Grill Aoi is often described as a yōshuku (Western food) joint, but that’s a bit of a misnomer. Yes, the bulk of the menu is Western-themed: steaks, hamburgers, croquettes, potato salad, fries and fried shrimp. But, as with nearly all guriru the ...
Review excerpt: Pacuchi Deli in downtown Kyoto doesn’t disappoint with its take on the country’s signature noodle dish. It leans a little too heavy on the sweet side — a combination of the chili sauce, sugar and fish sauce — but this could just ...
Review excerpt: Opened last summer, Asano offers a reprieve from the crowds and conspicuous consumption. Besides the fridges full of sake from breweries all across Japan, there are two tasting menus: one for Kyoto sakes, and another from a brewery outside Kyoto.
