Kyoto, Japan｜Takekishi

Just had my omakase dinner. Superb food. Friendly chef. Definitely worth a visit.

Visit Kappo Takekishi, a restaurant serving Kyoto cuisine in Gion Higashiyama ◆Store description: Kappo Takekishi, an orthodox Kyoto cuisine restaurant in Gion, is located on Shirakawa Minami-dori, a street lined with teahouses. It is located in the center of Gion, close to Shinbashi-dori. When you hear that, you may have an image of a high threshold, but it is a store that is loved by locals for its unpretentious atmosphere where you can casually stop by. In addition to kaiseki ryori, there is also a wide variety of a la carte dishes, mainly using Kyoto vegetables, namafu, yuba, Wakasa guji (tilefish) and other ingredients essential to Kyoto cuisine, as well as seafood directly delivered from the Sea of ​​Japan. While making the best use of the natural flavors of the ingredients, the flavorful dashi stock is used, and sometimes buds are casually added to add flavor. A variety of such dishes are a collection of excellent items that make you think that this is the taste of Kyoto. Let's taste it reluctantly. In addition to the standard "chicken and mushrooms", you can enjoy creative kamameshi such as "small potato and jako", "seafood butter", and "paella style". There are always about 10 types of crab, oysters, and sweetfish available, including seasonal ones, so there are many customers who come here often just for the kamameshi.　◆　We ordered the famous kamameshi. Ordered the sashimi set. We ordered ``sea bream fries'' and ``paella style''. The aroma was good and the taste was also very good. The store clerk was also very kind. I enjoyed the calm Japanese atmosphere inside the store.

The owner was very personable and the food was delicious. The matsutake mushrooms and conger eel steamed in a clay pot were the best! Of course, I was also satisfied with the kamameshi (pot rice) to choose from, from 7 to 8 types.
