Toryanse — Restaurant in Kyoto

Stopped by here for a rest after walking down the philosophers path. It was the only cafe open in the area, so stop here because later on there won’t be much else. The owners were really nice and the local stray cats come in for a little treat which was really cute to see, as well as all the pictures on the wall!

I got Macha tea and a red bean rice cake set which came to ¥800, it was a little bit overpriced and selling for tourist prices so I wish they lower the prices so that locals can enjoy this place as well.

Proper Covid measures are in place, there’s lots of alcohol and you have to social distance when you’re...

The cat photos drew us in, but it was the quality of the food that kept us there. The menu is admittedly limited, but each dish is carefully prepared and you can tell it's all homemade. The classic curry and the curry mushroom soup were particularly delicious. The homemade grape juice was a pleasant surprise. The owners, a lovely couple, welcomed us with great patience, despite the language barrier. The price is a bit high, but it's definitely worth it for such a pleasant dining experience. I highly recommend this...

Mom and pop shop, owner loves the local cats. The food we did get was good, but there was only two things on the menu - curry rice or mushroom udon. Mushroom udon was very tasty. We also got the grape juice, which honestly I really liked. Very refreshing and delicious, like what you’d always hoped grape juice would taste like. Id stop by just for the grape juice again. Minus one star for the unexpectedly limited menu. I would have preferred to know that before...
