Japanese Obanzai Restaurant in Kyoto
Reservation for "Shunsai Imari" Traditional Food in Kyoto
[ 6 mins walk from Karasuma Oike Station ]
“Shunsai Imari” is a Japanese restaurant featuring Kyoto-style Obanzai cuisine in Kyoto. The restaurant is located in a convenient location, just a 10-minute walk from Kyoto's central Shijo Station.
Shunsai Imari specializes in Kyoto-style Obanzai cuisine. “Obanzai” is a traditional style of Kyoto cuisine that emphasizes using local and seasonal ingredients to create simple and flavorful dishes. It's a form of home-cooked food that reflects the cultural and culinary heritage of Kyoto. At Shunsai Imari, you can experience the essence of Kyoto's four seasons through traditional Kyoto-style dining while savoring a variety of Obanzai dishes in an authentic Kyoto setting.
Shunsai Imari's Specialty
At Shunsai Imari, you can find around 10 to 15 different Obanzai dishes available at any given time, all made with seasonal ingredients. One of their prideful dishes is the "Tai Meshi," a dish of sea bream cooked in a clay pot. They also serve various other Obanzai dishes, Dashimaki Tamago (rolled omelette), grilled fish marinated in Miso (Nishijin-style), and more, reflecting Kyoto's traditional morning meal. Additionally, they offer a range of dishes such as charcoal-grilled items, simmered dishes, tempura, Sashimi, dried fish, and Wagyu beef.
After enjoying delicious sake and appetizers, the Tai Meshi (sea bream rice) is highly recommended. Cooked individually in clay pots upon order, it takes around 30 minutes to prepare. The rice is cooked with Kombu (kelp) Dashi, salt, and sea bream broth, resulting in a simple yet rich flavor. This dish has become one of the signature dishes at Shunsai Imari, allowing you to fully savor the delicate taste of sea bream.
Exceptional Ingredients of Shunsai Imari
Ingredients referred to as "in season" have a way of effectively catering to the human body, such as cooling in the summer and warming in the winter.
