About “Saikyozuke” (Kyoto-Style Miso-Marinated Fish)

A Cozy Space to Savor Japanese Comfort Food

This is a place where you can enjoy traditional Japanese dishes such as misozuke (miso-marinated) and kasuzuke (sake lees-marinated) cuisine in a casual, familiar setting. A hearty meal features steaming hot rice cooked in a clay pot, accompanied by simmered dishes, tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet), and miso soup—all adding vibrant touches to the tray.

Fresh eggs can be enjoyed as tamago kake gohan (raw egg over rice). Through the large windows, the changing seasons of the southern Kyoto landscape spread out before you, and the skilled techniques of the chefs unfolding right before your eyes create a warm, soothing atmosphere.

Bringing Washoku Closer to You

Misozuke and kasuzuke dishes are said to have existed as far back as the Heian period—carrying a rich history. As Japanese cuisine (washoku) has now been recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, these simple, humble dishes—once rooted in food preservation—have transcended their original purpose and continue to be cherished today.

Staying true to the flavors of Kyoto, this culinary experience focuses on the comforting taste of everyday Kyoto-style home cooking. Gentle in flavor yet rich in tradition, these meals offer a soft, authentic touch of Kyoto cuisine.
