I came here thinking this was a soba noodle place, but what it actually is is a soba ( buckwheat ) kaiseki restaurant ( that includes soba noodles as a dish ). Really interesting and tasty food, just that I was expecting a much simpler meal!

I was looking for a restaurant nearby to have lunch while visiting the Katsura Imperial Villa, and I came across this restaurant.
I visited by car, and there was a designated parking lot nearby that could accommodate about 4 cars.
I visited at 12:30 on a Sunday in early December, and I got in easily without any lines. However, I think it's a popular restaurant because customers kept coming.
There is a value set that comes with your favorite soba noodles, mini chirashi, tea, and mini dessert for an additional 1,000 yen, so choose this one.

They said they were particular about water, and I was surprised to find out that after just taking a sip. I don't usually know the difference between water, but this soba was really delicious and memorable. It will turn your concept of soba upside down and make you want to eat it again. Although it is 100 percent soba, it is not crumbly and the noodles are thin and refreshing.
Mini chirashi uses eel and carp. Carp tends to smell if the water isn't clean, but that wasn't the case, and the carp was plump and delicious.

The volume is a little small and it has an elegant feel, so depending on the person, it may not be enough for some people.

When I went to Kyoto before, I stopped by.
I received.
I entered the store and was shown to a private room...
Very comfortable with a calm atmosphere
It was good.

For food, I ordered a mini lunch set.
When the soba noodles arrive right in front of you, you can smell the delicious aroma.
First of all, I received it without adding anything.
Next, add salt and then serve with soup.
Everything was great!
Maybe because I'm still a child, I don't have dessert.
It didn't suit my taste
The soba noodles and rice were very good!

The staff was friendly and polite.
It was a restaurant that I would like to visit again.
