Let's have dinner at a Japanese restaurant in the building located to the west of Kyoto Station's Yodobashi Camera.
The first and second floors feature the big Echo system, while the third and fourth floors are dedicated to Gakuza, and the fifth floor is for Keikamachi Shizuku.
At the entrance of the building, there stands a stunningly beautiful woman holding a sign that reads “Ryuzo: There’s a vacant seat available”. She stands there, looking somewhat disinterested.
We have entered the 5th floor of the Kyoto Town Shizuku.
This is a izakaya with private rooms on all seats.
I take off my shoes and enter the store.
Since we went there together, we were directed to a very small private room. It's not that you can't fit four people in there, but the space is just right for two people.
Here is the translated content:
"Let me introduce you to this restaurant.
The potato salad comes with croutons.
The price of this item is unknown, but when I checked the receipt at the end, it stated that the seat fee was 583 yen × 2.
It's a decent potato salad.
A restaurant where the appetizer is delicious can be expected to be a good place.
We will place our orders using the touch panel.
Since we want to enjoy as many dishes as possible, we will share them between the two of us.
I ordered a refreshing and delicious plum wine, priced at 605 yen.
The accompanying person ordered a surprise plum wine for 605 yen.
Both of them will be served as soda.
Let's compare the drinks. It seems that the flavors are slightly different. But for me, who is not a connoisseur, both are simply matcha alcoholic drinks.
Cream cheese miso pickled 429 yen.
The masago pickled with cream cheese, cut into square pieces, has a few seaweed attached to it.
I'm using a mascarpone cheese that doesn't have much of a cheese smell, right? This is absolutely great.
I prefer to eat the dishes I like very slowly, bit by bit.
Grilled Salmon, 429 yen.
There is shime sabu being grilled.
牛すじポン酢 649円。
It seems like the beef tendons were cooked in salt, with a light dressing of ponzu sauce on top. There are also chopped green onions sprinkled on it.
Yes, the beef tendons are cooked until soft and seasoned with salt, and the amount of salt used is perfectly balanced. The ponzu sauce isn’t too strong either.
This also requires eating quite slowly.
Let's try something we've never eaten before.
三陸産わかめのお抹茶揚げ 649円。
This dish is made by turning wakame into a pancake and then topping it with matcha.
It's crunchy, but there's still a slight bite left from the wakame, which is a perfect balance.
I will eat this as well, little by little.
Chicken stew with wakame and cheese fried noodles, 759 yen.
I didn't really understand what this was, so I decided to try ordering it.
The cheese is rolled into a noodle shape, then further rolled in wakame and fried. It is cut into six pieces.
If you peek inside, you'll see that the cheese is stretched out in a long, thin shape.
The meat contains cartilage, providing a crispy texture that is enjoyable to chew.
I should eat the cheese before it hardens.
牛タン塩煮込み 913円。
I prefer katsu-kotan when it's grilled, so I ordered it that way.
This is a quite thick beef teriyaki.
It’s well cooked to make it soft, but the bite of the beef teriyaki is still intact.
At this Western-style restaurant, when I order a beef teriyaki stew, often the meat is overcooked to such an extent that it becomes mushy and loses its bite. This defeats the purpose of having beef teriyaki at all. However, the sauce accompanying the beef teriyaki is truly outstanding.
Since we belong to a generation that considers bife steak as the best delicacy, we ordered bife steak.
Special Selection Beef Mise en Place Steak, 1529 yen.
Maybe around Midiam.
I prefer eating steak with salt, but there is no salt on the table. Instead, there is already a steak sauce applied to the steak.
I prefer the sauce for the garlic steak.
I'll eat it before it gets cold.
Grilled Sashimi with Fresh Fish 649 yen.
I think they’re using the same type of salted salmon that I ordered earlier. But mine is much more to my liking.
I will savor and eat it slowly.
Golden cod in broth tea sauce, 825 yen.
出汁茶漬けというのは、出汁が良ければ間違いなく美味しい料理です。
Even those who are already full seem satisfied.
The disadvantage of the touch panel here is that while you can check the ordered dishes, the unit price is not displayed. Moreover, the total amount is also not shown. Therefore, until someone comes to take care of the accounting, you won't know how much to pay.
Together, it costs 9,977 yen.
