Okuizune Hyouei



This is a restaurant where you can enjoy a meal on a riverbed while listening to the murmuring of the Kibune River.
You can enjoy kawadoko cuisine in summer, wild vegetable dishes in spring, peony hot pot in winter, and sweets in fall, so you can enjoy your visit any time of the year.
Kyoto's upscale restaurants such as Ponto-cho are great, but if you get tired of the city, visit Kibune to enjoy a variety of powerful and delicious dishes on the riverbeds at Kibune, a secluded spot in Kyoto!

A variety of inventive dishes



We offer hamo shabu (pike conger eel) and beef shabu courses, but we recommend our seasonal kaiseki meals. They are absolutely delicious because they use what is in season at the time.
Of course, we are also particular about our tableware, so that the best dishes can be enjoyed not only by the palate but also by the eyes.
The course is about 12,000 yen, but you will definitely enjoy it more than the price, so if you want to eat at only one high-class ryotei in Kyoto, we recommend this restaurant.

[Kyoto ]8 must-see sights in the Kibune/Kurama area!

(informal) literary style



This is the same restaurant where you can enjoy Nagashi Somen on the riverbed of the Kibune River.
With a waterfall in front of you, you can recharge your stomach and mind with plenty of negative ions.
The Nagashi Somen is a great place to enjoy Nagashi Somen on the riverbed at a reasonable price of 1,500 yen. We also recommend the ayu (sweetfish), hamo (pike conger eel), and other kawadoko dishes, which can be enjoyed to the fullest.

Nagashi Somen (fine white noodles served flowing on a riverbed)



One of the characteristics of kawadoko cuisine is that it is upscale, but this is the only place where you can enjoy Nagashi Somen while viewing a waterfall on a kawadoko.
Sukiyaki and shabu-shabu are also available, and lodging is available, so if you stay overnight, you can have all your meals on the riverbed.

artisanal



Everything is delicious in Kyoto, but in fact, the bakeries are also exceptionally good.
In Kyoto, where the bakeries are in a fierce competition, it is a harsh reality that only the best bakeries will remain, and that is why the bread is delicious wherever you go.
And my recommendation for a bakery in this area is Artisanal. It is close to Kawaramachi, but it is a great place to buy bread for breakfast or a snack on the way home from the Kibune area.

As a bread to eat and walk around with



Everything is delicious, from hard to fluffy, but they are delicious whether you take them home or eat them while walking around!
The interior of the store is stylish, and all of the breads are so tempting that you will want to fill your stomach with them, but buy only what you can eat. The breads are more suitable for meals and sweet pastries than side dish breads. Buy some delicious breads at the bakery like a jewel box.

Your ship, Right Genta

The proximity of the riverbeds, combined with the fact that Kibune is a water god, makes it seem as if you are receiving the power of the gods just by sitting on the river. Of course, all of the dishes are renowned for their deliciousness.
