Located a 6-minute walk from Kiyomizu-Gojo Station, near the tourist spot "Kiyomizu Temple," on the first floor of NOHGA HOTEL, which opened in April 2022. A restaurant serving grilled dishes cooked with authentic firewood and charcoal. It offers a chic, adult space with an open kitchen, a bar counter, and large group tables that can be used according to the occasion. This time, I visited for dinner.
- Prosciutto: Enjoy the fluffy texture of Parma ham aged and sliced to order at the open kitchen.
- Seviche Assortment: Marinated seafood with three varieties - octopus and celery, salmon and salmon roe, amberjack and daikon.
- Seasonal Grilled Vegetable Assortment: Using a Jasper Grill imported from Spain, the vegetables are juicy and flavorful. Grilled buttercup squash, stick senor beets, lotus root, black radish, Kyoto vegetables, man-wanji chili peppers, Kamo eggplant. The grilled preparation and emphasis on vegetables allow you to savor the natural flavors.
- Grilled Hiroshima Eel with Risotto: Grilled eel on top of risotto with balsamic and curry sauce. A surprising combination that works perfectly, with spicy flavors, a balanced acidity, and sweetness. The eel is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
- Bacon and Onion Amatriciana: A pasta dish with a tomato-based sauce, onions, aged bacon, and cheese. The refreshing acidity and the umami of the bacon complement each other well.
- Basque-Style Cheesecake: Smooth gelato made with a dedicated machine. The rich cheesecake with a hint of salt as an accent.
The high-quality grilled dishes cooked over firewood and charcoal in the hotel, along with the excellent hospitality of the staff, made for a pleasant dining experience. It is recommended to make a reservation as it can get crowded with non-hotel guests as well. I casually visited while staying at the hotel, but I plan to use it again when I come to Kyoto. Thank you for the meal.
