Kyoto, Japan｜Nishibuchi Hanten

Nishibuchi Hanten in Kyoto. The location of the restaurant is a little difficult to find, but it is a Chinese restaurant that has been renovated into a traditional tenement house typical of Kyoto. The atmosphere inside and outside the store is more like a Japanese restaurant, but since he is originally from Gion Sasaki, it gives the impression that it is a fusion of Japanese and Chinese cuisine. The course menu is simple and easy-to-eat Chinese cuisine, and I think it's a menu that will be liked by a wide range of people. The Chinese soba soup at the end was delicious.

In the depths of a quiet alley in Higashiyama, are you going there? If you go through the alley This white noren appears. There are only 10 seats at the counter. The warmth of wood soothes.

Located in a quiet alley on a narrow alley near Yasaka Shrine, about a 7-minute walk from Gion-Shijo Station, the place has the best atmosphere. The exterior looks like a traditional Kyoto townhouse with a white noren curtain. Inside, you take off your shoes on the stone steps, look out over the beautiful courtyard, and when you open the door at the back, you'll find yourself in a space with 8 seats at the Japanese-style horigotatsu-style counter.

I became a fan with a single visit, with honest, polite and calm customer service. ■Steamed egg custard with Matsuba crab, Unko, and tilefish Luxurious steamed egg custard with seasonal matsuba crab meat, sea urchin and tilefish. The Japanese soup stock is also quite delicious. ■Cold rice vermicelli with Koppe crab This was really too delicious! The Koppe crab that matches the calm rice vermicelli is a luxury that uses 1.5 Uchiko and Sotoko. Enjoy a moment of bliss with the flavorful Koppe crab mixed with rice vermicelli. Taste changed with black vinegar. ■ Char siu and chicken wings Char siu baked with honey is topped with blue cheese. The sweet and savory flavors of the meat spreads out when you bite into the fatty part of the meat. Luxurious chicken wings with bird's nest are also juicy, soft and delicious. ■ Grilled shark fin and dried scallop soup A combination of fragrant and crispy grilled shark fin and delicious dried scallop soup. The texture of well-cooked shark fin is unforgettable. Stir-fried spiny lobster and Kujo green onion The spiny lobster, which is entwined with the thick sauce and juicy Kujo green onions, is plump and goes well with the sauce. ■ Misuji and hot water soup Not only is the beef miso soup rich and delicious, but the seasoning of the soup and vegetables is also really excellent. Every dish is too delicious. ■ Mapo tofu The numbness of the spicy Japanese pepper is not too strong, and the meat has a deep flavor. The deliciousness of the rice is also refillable! Strawberry, fig, sweet potato tapioca coconut milk The sweet potato cut into small pieces in rich coconut milk was sweet and delicious. The reservation hurdle is quite high, but it was a satisfaction level that I would like to visit again!
