Story & Recommendation
Japanese kappou restaurant which offers the highest grade Kyoto cuisines by friendly staffs
Kappou Yamashita, a Japanese style restaurant, is located at Gion near the Kamo-river. Lots of excellent Japanese cuisines are lined on this area. Usually, it's difficult to visit a high grade Kyoto cuisine restaurant easily, but you don't need to feel pressured to be here. The owner is really friendly and a good talker even though you are first time visitor. Please enjoy outstanding Kyoto cuisines and amusing talk with staffs who are behind the counter. One of the signature points of this restaurant is that you can watch how to cook by the cuisinier, it is almost performance like a magic or circus! I guess you can not decide what you order due to plenty of menu, in that case, please ask friendly staffs about today's recommends !
1Recommended
Fried Moroko
/ ￥2,300～
Moroko is unusual fish which is difficult to catch every day. If the day when you visit has moroko, you are lucky and must order it! Raw morokos are cooked by charcoal grill in front of us. Outside is crispy and inside is soft, but it is perfectly cooked and goes well with lemon or mix seasonings (soy sauce and vinegar and ginger)
2Recommended
Steamed turnip
/ ￥2,300
Boiled turnip or pickled turnip are famous but, texture of this steamed turnip is pretty different from these. It is very soft and mild. Turnip is one of the famous vegetables in Kyoto during a winter season.
