Ninenzaka KAMANZA — Restaurant in Kyoto

The Verdict

The Place: it is a traditional Family owned restaurant, and what is interesting, they actually preserved the ancestral displays 👍

The People: very accommodating.

The Food: so I got the Soba set with marinated grilled mackerel with Warobi. Their Soba Noodle is so good, one can actually say that this is not a commercially made one. The Mackerel is also to die for! It is savory sweet with a hint of smokiness to it. Warobi Mochi is also good! I like their brown sugar sauce to it.

The Price: reasonable

Overall : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ will defintely come...

The roasted duck is smoky and juicy as well but kinda disappointed with only 3 pieces of duck, I wanted more 😂 The staff is friendly and the place is neat. There is mini garden inside the restaurant. Overall its a nice restaurant with...
