I wanted to eat Issan's hot pot again and again, and finally got to have it again. Last time I had the hormone hot pot. This time, I had the bulgogi hot pot. The hormone hot pot was good, but the bulgogi hot pot was also amazing. Most importantly, my partner enjoyed it too, which was great! I will definitely go back again.

In March 2023, I visited Kitano Tenmangu Shrine to see the plum blossom illumination and on the way back, I decided to stop by for a meal. I searched on Tabelog for a place to eat and found a restaurant that had the "Chiritori Nabe" I was curious about. I headed to this restaurant using a map and found it a little off the main street. I sat at the counter and ordered the Chiritori Nabe and Tomato Kimchi. The Chiritori Nabe was prepared by the owner and it was simple with only bean sprouts and leeks for vegetables. There were several types of horumon (easy to eat sizes) which felt very elegant and Kyoto-like. For the finishing touch, I had the spicy ramen which was delicious! I wanted to order more but I was too full. I left the restaurant very satisfied. (I wish it was closer so I could visit more often...) Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I came to a famous restaurant that serves chiri-tori nabe. They offer various types of hot pot dishes such as hoso nabe, chiri-tori nabe, bulgogi nabe, and pork kimchi nabe. It was so hard to choose! Orders start from two servings, and they also have harami nabe. Today, I chose the pork kimchi nabe. When it arrived, I was surprised to see the amount of pork laid out in the pot, topped with plenty of vegetables. I poured lots of vinegar over it and enjoyed the dish. The soup was the highlight, with a rich umami flavor from the spicy vinegar, the sweetness of the pork belly, and white rice as the perfect complement. This is a must-try when you're not on a diet! It was incredibly delicious~

Dustpan hot pot is a restaurant I didn't know about, so I visited on the same day after making a reservation. When you hear "dustpan," you probably think of that tool for sweeping and scooping, right? I asked the landlady, and it turns out that's exactly what it's named after! The shape of the hot pot resembles a dustpan. Today's orders were: Tomato Kimchi, Sumotsu, Korean Tofu, and Hoso Nabe. The fresh tomato with kimchi sauce was refreshing and tasty. The Sumotsu, a famous dish from Hakata, was light and delicious. The Korean tofu had a spicy sauce that went well with the firm tofu. The Hoso Nabe used Omi beef hormone, which was sweet and fatty. The hot pot had a sweet overall taste, and we ended with spicy ramen. The hot pot options include Hoso Nabe, Hormone Nabe, Bulgogi Nabe, and Harami Nabe, with the first two being spicy miso-based and the latter two soy sauce-based. You can customize the spiciness of the hot pot, and the restaurant also allows for adding extra ingredients to your liking. The owner is quiet, but the restaurant was lively and clean. There are two tables near the entrance and an L-shaped counter with 13 seats at the back.

Located near Shiraumecho in Kyoto, "Chiritori Nabe Iyama" is a hidden gem of a restaurant! The place may seem off the beaten path, but it is truly a top-notch establishment. They offer counter and table seating options. The hot pot is cooked on a flat square iron plate with a Korean-style broth. You can choose from hormone, skirt meat, or harami hot pot options. You can also add additional ingredients to suit your taste, and for the finishing touch, you can choose between zosui (rice porridge) or spicy ramen. Despite its appearance, the hot pot is not too spicy, making it suitable even for those who are not fond of spicy food. It's a delicious restaurant that is perfect for dates, business meetings, or any occasion, and it's reasonably priced too!

It's getting cold, so I felt like eating hot pot and decided to go to this restaurant that I had listed. I went with one other person on a weekday night. I made a reservation by phone just in case, but it seems like you can usually get a table without one. It's about a 5-minute walk from Shirakumacho, very close. It's located a bit off Imadegawa Street, in a residential area. When we arrived around 7 pm, we were the only customers. Later, two more groups of two came in. Small groups are recommended! [Order] - Hormone hot pot x2: 1,620 yen each - Rice x2: 220 yen each - Chanja: 550 yen - Draft beer - Highball - Kirin Lemon Total was around 5,700 yen! Very affordable. The spiciness is a bit on the spicy side, but not unbearable. It's not just spicy, it has a delicious flavor. I wonder if it contains miso or dashi...? If you keep eating, it gets spicier, but it's addictive because of the rich flavor. The owner cooks right in front of you, which is great service! They don't talk to you much, but it's a great experience. I would like to visit again because the flavorful spiciness was so good!

This is a very delicious hot pot restaurant. I have visited about three times. The Tomato Kimchi is sweet and refreshing. The Chiritori hot pot is sweet and spicy, which stimulates the appetite. The combination of hormone and tofu is excellent. It's a supreme hot pot that makes you feel happy. I live in Kyoto city, and I'm glad I found this place. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely go again. I appreciate all the ingredients in this world. Bringing in delicious food♪ The more you eat, the more power overflows♪

This was my third visit in August 2016. I received a call from a friend and we celebrated at Chiritori Nabe Iiyama. I was very happy, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and I had a lot of fun. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely go again. I will give thanks to all the ingredients in this world. I'm calling all the delicious foods. The more you eat, the more power you have.

The place is near the Randen Kitano Hakubaicho Station. It's a bit inconvenient to access. I took the Sagano Line from JR Kyoto Station to Enmachi Station, and then walked 16 minutes, but I used a taxi instead. The restaurant is located in a residential area, surrounded by narrow streets, so it may be hard to find. Today, I visited with my colleagues from work. The inside of the restaurant has 2 table seats and 13 counter seats, even though it's a restaurant specializing in motsunabe, it is kept clean. We started with a toast with beer, followed by fresh raw intestine and vinegar tripe, both were delicious and had a nice texture. Then we moved on to the boiled pork and kimchi large plate. It came with plenty of cabbage, and we wrapped the pork with kimchi to eat. It was delicious. Finally, we had the main dish, the hosonabe, bulgogi nabe, harami nabe, and hormone nabe in that order. The hosonabe (1300 yen) was the best. The Omi beef hormone was fresh, and the fat that oozes out when you chew it is irresistible. When mixed with the sweet and spicy sauce, all the vegetables also become delicious. Enjoying this with burnt rice makgeolli is the best. We finished with egg mixed rice and spicy ramen. I found a great restaurant and would definitely like to visit again.

Here is the first review of the new year, Chiritori Nabe Iiyama-san. I had been wanting to try this place for a while, but since the hot pot is only available for 2 people or more, it was a no-go for me as I usually dine alone. This time, I invited a friend for a New Year's gathering and we went on a weekday. We started with a toast with beer and ordered a platter of Namul, 1 serving of pork, and 1 serving of tomato kimchi. The tomato kimchi was incredibly delicious! We also tried the water kimchi, which was a mix of soup and tomato that tasted amazing when eaten with a spoon. My friend ordered a large container of Makgeolli. I stuck with beer and eagerly awaited the Chiritori Nabe. We chose the Hosonabe, and when the large amount of bean sprouts started to cook, they became deliciously crunchy. The spicy seasoning was perfect, and it went so well with the beer. We finished the first pot quickly and ordered a second one with a mix of vegetables, meat, and horumon. The addition of meat made it taste even better. We ended the meal with udon and egg in the delicious broth. The total bill for two people was 10,500 yen. We left the restaurant feeling very satisfied.

I found a shop that I had been interested in for a long time. The atmosphere of the shop is great, the staff are friendly, and the food is delicious. I will definitely be a repeat customer at this wonderful shop. Most importantly, I was able to meet my current partner, which is a big plus.

Sweet and savory, but on the sweeter side. Preferences vary greatly.
