Had lunch with colleagues near the company. It was my first time using this clean-looking restaurant that caught my eye as I passed by a few times. We arrived before 1 pm and there were enough seats available for us to relax. I ordered squid and shiso with tomato sauce and mentaiko on top. I was skeptical about the combination of tomato sauce and mentaiko, but the sweet tomato sauce was versatile and the mentaiko added a nice touch. The pasta was definitely delicious being freshly made, and the portion was light, perfect for women. It was nice to have bread included in the set. The menu was diverse and the interior of the restaurant was spacious and clean. I will definitely visit again.

Chicken thigh and broccoli lemon cream pasta for ¥1000 with salad. The noodles were slightly overcooked, but the lemon cream sauce was refreshing and easy to eat. I usually only eat cream-based sauces with fresh pasta, but I want to try the bolognese next time.

I ordered the slow-cooked spare rib pasta with red wine and fresh tomatoes, which came with a salad for 1150 yen. I decided to upgrade to a special pasta for an additional 150 yen, opting out of bread and a soft drink. When the pasta arrived, I was surprised to see that the spare ribs were the main focus. Despite not having a knife on the table, the spare ribs were incredibly tender and flavorful, easily falling apart with just a fork. They were much tastier than regular tough spare ribs. As I continued eating, I realized that most of the dish was edible, with only one decorative bone and the rest being tender spare rib meat. The handmade pasta was like white rice in a way, and the soup was reminiscent of miso soup. I'm glad I chose the spare rib pasta over the regular options – it was a great choice!

Homemade fresh pasta specialty store Kimotoya Osaka/Kitahama menu□ Special G: Ikura and shrimp in a dashi soy sauce fragrant Japanese-style cream sauce with salad and bread ¥1,050. I visited for lunch on a weekday. There was a bit of a line, but they have plenty of seating and the turnover is quick due to being in an office district. You can choose from pasta options A to G. It seems like A to E might be daily specials. Looking at Instagram, it seems like F and G don't change much. It's nice that there are many daily specials to choose from. The pasta was delicious with a chewy texture since it's fresh pasta. The shrimp was also fresh and plump.

I made a reservation and visited on a regular day. I was really satisfied with the all-you-can-eat pasta and all-you-can-drink option! The course costs 4,500 yen. It was a work gathering so I couldn't take photos. The all-you-can-drink menu included sparkling wine, which made my colleagues very happy. The amazing thing about this restaurant is the all-you-can-eat pasta. There are many different types available, and since it's fresh pasta, it's chewy and delicious! You can choose from large, medium, or small portions, so you can try a variety of types without any problem. I think this course offers the best value for the money.

Visit time: 12:35 on a weekday Wait time: None Menu: Pasta, Salad, Bread set for 1,050 yen + Large portion for 150 yen This is a restaurant specializing in fresh pasta. It was almost full with customers. I ordered set menu option 2, which came with pasta, salad, and bread. I chose the pasta with tender chicken thigh meat and crunchy onions in a creamy teriyaki sauce, and opted for the large portion. The pasta was made with thick noodles, and the texture was completely different from regular pasta due to it being fresh. The creamy sauce was generous and coated the noodles well. I finished by dipping the bread into the sauce. I left feeling satisfied and full. Thank you for the meal.

I used it for lunch on a regular day. It is a self-made fresh pasta specialty store located on the first floor of the ISO Building, about a 5-minute walk from the subway "Kitahama Station". The store is known for its fresh pasta made daily using a vacuum extruder. The bright and modern atmosphere of the store has a total of 54 seats, making it a medium-sized establishment. With 2 staff members in the kitchen and 3 staff members for customer service (wearing white shirts and black aprons), they managed the busy store efficiently. This time, I ordered the "Lunch Set 1D 1000 yen". Here is the content and evaluation: Salad: Fresh green salad served promptly with a strong French dressing, topped with lettuce, baby greens, purple cabbage, and a half-boiled egg. The homemade smoked bacon Carbonara: Thick-cut homemade smoked bacon was impressive! The pasta was cooked al dente with medium-thin flat noodles, and the rich cream sauce with a clear flavor profile was delightful. The basil and black pepper were also effective, and the upbeat pop music played in the background. The customers were mainly office ladies, business people, and solo diners. The restaurant was about 60% full, with a female ratio of about 70%. The Foodlog rating at the time of the visit was 3.42. It was a specialty store popular among pasta lovers, especially office ladies. Next time, I would like to try the "Cream sauce with a savory soy sauce aroma, topped with creamy ikura and shrimp". Thank you for the meal!

Today was the day for my dentist appointment, a bit of a late reservation at 11:00. I arrived a little early at 10:45 and was seen right away. The appointment ended at 11:15 after some quick work on my teeth. I had plenty of time for lunch, so I decided to try the daily special: chewy squid and forest mushroom pasta in a creamy tomato sauce. The set included a salad and a drink, and I opted for beer with a large portion of pasta. The meal cost 1600 yen, which seemed reasonable to me. The pasta was thick and the sauce was generous. The chewy texture of the squid was lost once it got hot, but the large portion made up for it. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. Bon appétit!

It's a popular restaurant for lunch on regular days. However, since they start serving early, it's quite smooth even when there's a line. Even though there were only 6-7 people on this quiet Saturday afternoon, we were able to get in pretty quickly. The fresh pasta was delicious and chewy.

I have been repeating lunch at a restaurant that specializes in "Mochi Mochi" fresh pasta recently. Kimotoya boasts of its fresh pasta! They have a noodle-making machine, so it is truly homemade pasta. The chewy texture is adjusted every morning based on the temperature and humidity of the day. This time, I ordered the "Eggplant and Chicken Tomato Cheese Pasta"! There are about five lunch menu options available. Cream, tomato, meat, and more are all prepared. All come with bread! The chewy noodles are the best! They are piping hot with steam everywhere!! One day's A lunch was Duck Roast Mizuna Japanese-style pasta for 950 yen. Another day's A lunch was Pork Belly, Eggplant, and Mushroom Japanese-style pasta for 950 yen.

On Tuesday at 1:00 PM, I went to Kimotoya, a homemade pasta specialty shop in Kitahama. I ordered the "D Set (950 yen)", which includes the "Carbonara pasta with homemade smoked bacon topped with a creamy half-boiled egg" along with salad and bread. It arrived 10 minutes later. The aroma of cheese was quite strong, which may be overwhelming for those who dislike cheese but irresistible for cheese lovers. I took a bite. Delicious. The chewy homemade pasta was coated with rich Carbonara sauce, and the thick slices of smoked bacon added a nice smoky flavor to the mix. The Parmesan cheese and black pepper gave it a strong kick. The portion of the pasta was quite generous, and I ended up feeling quite full. I had an "Iced Milk Tea" for dessert, which was only 100 yen during lunchtime. I usually prefer dry pasta over fresh pasta, but all the places I've been to recently have been great. Thank you for the meal.

I went early to avoid the line, so I arrived at 11:40 on Wednesday. Luckily, there was still plenty of space, and I was directed to a cozy table at the back. The lunch menu had 5 regular options (A-E) and 2 special pasta dishes. I was thinking of ordering the Carbonara, but the special pasta with salmon roe and shrimp caught my eye. The dish arrived promptly, with a creamy sauce filled with shrimp and salmon roe, topped with greens and chopped seaweed. The pasta was delightfully chewy, and the shrimp added a nice crunch. The salmon roe popped in my mouth, and I enjoyed alternating between bites of pasta and bites of greens. The soup was also tasty, and I soaked up the remaining broth with the bread provided. Overall, a satisfying lunch experience.

I came here because it was introduced on TV. I was the first one to arrive right after the 11 am opening. The spacious interior was bright with sunlight, creating a sense of openness. They only serve lunch during normal business hours, and dinner is by reservation only. Looking at the table menu, all items seem to come in a set with pasta, bread, and salad included. Options A to E are all priced at 950 yen, while the two special dishes are 1100 yen. I ordered the smoked bacon carbonara. The pasta was very delicious, with fresh noodles and a generous amount of homemade bacon. Personally, I wish they had added a bit more pepper. It's a bit disappointing that there are only five options available for 950 yen and that everything is only served as a set. It would be nice if they could consider offering individual dishes as well, especially for those days when you may not feel well and can't eat everything.

I wanted to eat some chewy fresh pasta after a long time, so I headed to the homemade fresh pasta specialty shop, Kimotoya. You can choose from 7 types of pasta, which come with salad and bread for 950 yen and up. The shop is located between Kitahama Station and Sakaisuji Hommachi Station. The entrance is located behind a splendid gate, down a few steps. Although it is semi-basement, the space is bright and casual with natural light coming in. The interior has counter seats facing the windows, as well as several 4-person tables and a large communal table for about 50 seats. The large communal table is shared seating, but each seat is separated by acrylic panels. Lunch is available on weekdays from 11:00 to last order at 14:30, and on Saturdays from 11:00 to last order at 13:30 (please check the latest information on business format and hours from the shop). Lunch Menu (A-E) includes pasta of your choice, salad, and bread for 950 yen (tax included). Special Pasta is available for 1,100 yen (tax included). All pasta can be upsized for free. Drinks can be added for an extra 100 yen (coffee, black tea, oolong tea, grapefruit juice). I was intrigued by the "burnt cheese" and ordered the Bolognese with lots of minced meat. The salad was served immediately, followed by the pasta just 3 minutes later. The visual presentation was enticing. The pasta was slightly flat like linguine, with a chewy texture. The Bolognese sauce was rich and flavorful, complemented by the burnt cheese. The salad was simple with only lettuce and Italian dressing. The bread was a slice of baguette. The service was lacking in attentiveness despite the presence of several staff members. Overall, the pasta texture and speed of service were satisfying, but the sauce, ingredients, and service were forgettable. The price seemed a bit high for the quality. I might give it another try for a different sauce in the future.

I went out looking for a pasta restaurant for lunch since I'll be having Japanese food for dinner. I stumbled upon a place called "Kimotoya," a specialty store that serves homemade fresh pasta. They offer a salad, bread, and a generous portion of pasta for 950 yen. I chose the Carbonara this time. It was quite rich with plenty of Parmesan cheese and a soft-boiled egg, but the saltiness was just right, not too overwhelming. The place seems lively at night too, and I'm curious about trying a different pasta for lunch next time. It's a good find. (70% of the customers were women)

I had been curious about this unique-looking restaurant for a while, and finally decided to visit. The restaurant, called "Kimotoya," had a sturdy gate in front of it. The casual atmosphere on the ground floor was welcoming. The menu had a good variety of options, with set menus priced at 950 yen and specials at 1,100 yen. The pasta came in large portions for free, which was a plus. I ordered the "Mozzarella Cheese, Melting Prosciutto, and Broccoli in Tomato Sauce" for 950 yen. The green salad that came first was light and quickly finished. The main pasta dish was impressive, with a generous portion and perfectly cooked fresh noodles. The mozzarella cheese and prosciutto were delicious, and the combination with broccoli and tomato sauce was satisfying. The performance of the mozzarella cheese was also impressive. The discount for adding the restaurant on LINE as a friend was a nice bonus. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I will definitely visit again.

It's a long weekend, but due to various circumstances, I couldn't go anywhere. So I decided to go for lunch by bicycle in the hot weather. I headed to a restaurant in Honmachi, but it was closed because it's in an office district. I searched again and found this place. It looked similar to a pasta restaurant I had been to before, but it seems to be a different name under the same group. After some deliberation, I decided on the special dish - a hearty pasta with salmon and salmon roe in a fragrant soy sauce cream sauce topped with chopped seaweed (includes salad, pasta, and bread) for ¥1100. If you register as a LINE friend, you get a ¥50 discount. The cream sauce was delicious, but there was a slight fishy smell, probably from the salmon. The salmon roe was really tasty. If I have the chance to go again, I think I will try the normal pasta next time.

I was in the mood for pasta, so I decided to visit this place nearby. The menu offers all dishes at reasonable prices, which is great. I had the lemon cream pasta with chicken thigh and broccoli. The fresh pasta had a nice chewy texture and paired well with the cream sauce. It was delicious. However, the bitterness of the broccoli and the large amount of chicken thigh meat seemed to overpower the pasta. The salad was tasty, but the plain bread on the side lacked any special touch and left me wanting more. They offer free extra servings of pasta, so it might be a great option for those who like to eat a lot.

When it comes to pasta, it has to be al dente, right? Cooking it just right is so tricky~ But well, some places completely deny that. At Kimotoya, the pasta is soft and chewy without a firm core! This is a technique that can only be achieved with fresh noodles and it's really delicious. The noodles are slightly thick flat noodles, and as I keep saying, they're really chewy. They're served with a Bolognese sauce. It comes with bread and salad for 950 yen. The bread is served warm. Extra portions are free. Actually, for adult men, extra portions are a must. The restaurant is spacious with seating for over 50 people. The interior is bright with a lot of wood used, and despite the hard chairs, it's comfortable. Even though the place is empty, they often assign seats like, "You sit at this counter!" but they're confident in their capacity, so they casually say, "Please sit wherever you like~♫". Ah, lovely. And the noodles were so chewy (^o^)

Last order is at 14:30, but I made it just in time! The Carbonara with homemade smoked bacon and creamy soft-boiled egg from Kinomotoya is served with salad and bread for 950 yen. I had a 50 yen discount ticket, so it actually cost 900 yen. This dish is made without garlic, so it's perfect for those in customer service! I mixed the creamy soft-boiled egg, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper together, and it was piping hot when I took the first bite (lol). I blew on it and took another bite, savoring the smooth texture of the fresh pasta. I just had a craving for delicious pasta today, and I'm so happy I got to enjoy this meal. Thank you for the feast. By the way, normally they can accommodate private parties of 20 people, but due to COVID-19 measures, it seems they are only allowing private parties of up to 8 people. I took a picture of the notice for reference.
