Kyoto, Japan｜Kunsei Market

A restaurant which easily deserves a rating higher then 5 stars if I could give one. I ordered two sets, the tasting set and the pasta set. Each is easily plenty enough for one person but I was feeling particularly hungry and wanted to try more of what they have to offer. Both sets were fantastic, comprised of a variety of home smoked goods. The pasta was rich and creamy, the smokiness lending depth of flavour. The side salad had a tangy dressing with chunks of smoked cheese to balance. The tasting set was a delicious way of experiencing all the variety of smoked foods they have on offer. Finally they also provide home smoked mayonnaise as a condiment. Normally I'm not a huge fan of mayo but this stuff was so good that I ended up eating a couple small spoonfuls extra after I'd finished just to savour the taste a bit more. To anyone out in kyoto, this is one of the restaurants worth specifically visiting this area for. Friendly, welcoming and excellent food, all you could ask for from a lunch time experience. They also have a selection of smoked goods available for purchase to takeaway if you wanted more for after! Only thing I'd say is that it would be nice to be provided with a spoon with the fork when eating spaghetti. Everything else was perfect in my opinion.

Most delicious bacon & smoked egg sandwich. They do a really really good coffee and the staff were the best part - so friendly & kind.

・Variety of smoked products from fish and meat to chocolate ・Relax in a secluded atmosphere ・It seems that you can drink from noon I know cheese, meat, and fish, but there are so many kinds of chocolate, nuts, and butter sandwiches that I'm surprised that they can be smoked, so I can't help but get lost. For those who drink alcohol, it seems that they are happy that there is a menu that can be drunk from noon. The inside of the shop is small, and there is a fragrant smoked aroma. There are 6 seats at the counter and 2 seats on the window side. There are many things that you can buy as souvenirs. Personally, I recommend mayonnaise with a smoky scent. I usually don't need mayonnaise, but I'm thinking of buying this one and trying to make potato salad. It's delicious.
