Story & Recommendation
A restaurant where you can enjoy colorful Kyoto-style side dishes.
In Arashiyama, the first name that comes to mind for Kyoto home cooking is Gyatei. At Gyatei, they offer dishes conceived with the hope that their guests will enjoy something unique to Kyoto. What makes this restaurant unique is that it takes orthodox home-style side dishes and adapts them to the current era, bringing out a new appeal from them. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes that are familiar to both young and old alike. In addition, most of the ingredients used in the dishes are from Kyoto. Rice grown near the restaurant, fish purchased at a Kyoto market, and vegetables freshly harvested in the morning at a local contracted farm are all used in abundance. This is a restaurant where you can enjoy dishes that are full of attention to detail in both the menu and the ingredients.

[Owner's comment]
You can enjoy the creative “obanzai” served in colorful small bowls.

 Gyatei Gozen
Gyatei Gozen / ¥2,500(inc.tax)
Gyatei Gozen is a set meal that combines 12 kinds of “obanzai”, side dishes prepared in Kyoto homes. It features many colorful dishes that can be enjoyed a little at a time, and also includes rice and desserts. The menu changes with the seasons, using seasonal ingredients, so you can experience the four seasons of Japan. The restaurant especially focuses on Saikyo marinated roast beef. Gyatei’s specialty is roast beef marinated for 10 days in Kyoto’s white miso paste called Saikyo Miso. By marinating the meat in miso, not only does the white miso add flavor, but the meat itself becomes moist and tender. *Usually the bowl at the far left is white rice. *The picture shows the yuba rice bowl version for an additional 350 yen.

This is a set of three different types of sake made in Kyoto that can be enjoyed at the same time. The sake, selected with the keyword “interesting”, is full of individuality. The pairing with each dish of the Gyatei Gozen is another appeal. The clear sake in the upper right corner is “Jurakudai” which is characterized by its gorgeous, fruity aroma. At the far left is “Tamagawa”, an aged sake. It has a whiskey-like aroma and goes well with wheat gluten snack “Ofu chocolate”. “Ine Mankai”, in the left foreground has such a deep color because it is made from red rice, and has a sweet and sour taste. The wheat gluten snack “Ofu chocolate” is sold on the first floor, so it is possible to buy it as a souvenir to take home. *The types of alcohol are subject to change.
How to Order

For the “Gyatei Gozen”, you can change the white rice to a bowl of yuba rice for an additional 350 yen. Made from soybeans, yuba has a gentle flavor and has long been a favorite in Kyoto. Eating it during cold weather is very warming.



- Order Tips -

On the first floor, visitors can purchase souvenirs such as dressings and teas, and “Nama-fu Dengaku” for take-out. “Nama-fu Dengaku” is a very Kyoto-like dish that combines chewy what starch “nama-fu” with miso, such as white miso and matcha.
