From Kyoto.。 Slice Filled with the Soul of a Craftsman.
Saikyo-yaki is not merely grilled fish. Carefully selected fish is slowly marinated in a secret white miso-based sauce. Every step of the process is a crystallization of dedication and heartfelt craftsmanship.
✔ Umami-Rich Miso × Carefully Selected Ingredients We carefully choose the finest seasonal fish—such as sablefish (black cod), salmon, and Spanish mackerel—ensuring peak flavor. Each cut is marinated in our rich and slightly sweet white miso, allowing the flavors to deeply infuse. The result is a mellow, deeply savory taste and aroma that stimulates the appetite.
✔ Expert Grilling Our skilled artisans grill each piece with meticulous care. The fish is beautifully golden, aromatic, and tender with a moist, delicate texture.
✔ Kama-Cooked Rice At Eijuan, all rice is cooked in a traditional iron pot (kama) in our in-house kitchen. Unlike electric cookers, this method produces rice that is fluffy, with each grain full of texture and rich, concentrated flavor. It’s the perfect complement to our delicately seasoned Saikyo-yaki.
The rich aroma of miso fills the air. Black cod sizzles on the grill with a satisfying juu. Freshly cooked kama-style rice is brought to your table, steam rising from the clay pot.
Welcome to Eijuan—a specialty Saikyo-yaki restaurant where the art of miso and grilling is perfected.
In a serene and elegant Japanese setting, you can savor each carefully crafted dish at your leisure.

A Space to Savor Comfort
Eijuan is a place where you can enjoy traditional Japanese delicacies like misozuke (miso-marinated) and kasuzuke (sake lees-marinated) dishes in a relaxed, approachable setting. Each meal is centered around steaming hot rice cooked in a traditional donabe clay pot, accompanied by side dishes like simmered vegetables, Japanese omelet, and miso soup.
Fresh eggs are also served for tamago-kake gohan (raw egg over rice), a beloved Japanese comfort food. Through large windows, you can admire the changing seasons of southern Kyoto (Rakunan), while watching skilled chefs prepare your meal right before your eyes—creating a warm and soothing dining experience.
Bringing Traditional Washoku Closer to You
Miso and sake lees marinades are said to have existed since the Heian period—over a thousand years of culinary tradition. Now recognized globally, washoku (traditional Japanese cuisine) is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Among its simplest, most rustic forms are these preserved dishes, which have transcended their origins and remain loved to this day.
Rooted in Kyoto’s culinary culture, Eijuan brings you authentic, comforting flavors of everyday Kyoto cuisine—refined yet familiar.
Eijuan Kyoto Station Store
Located on the 11th floor of the Kyoto Station building with direct station access, Eijuan offers panoramic views from above while you enjoy carefully crafted Kyoto-style set meals (gozen).
