It has been over 10 years since I last visited this restaurant. It has become quite famous for its motsunabe (tripe hot pot) in Kyoto. This time, I had a meal with friends and juniors. We arrived late, so there was plenty of seating available. We had a course meal for 4500 yen, which included horse sashimi and Omi beef, a generous feast. The Kyoto motsunabe itself was as delicious and reliable as ever. The rice porridge at the end was rich and very tasty. I would like to come back again. Thank you for the meal.

We made a same-day reservation and had the Kamehachi topping hot pot, salad, chijimi, marinated squid, 2 glasses of sake, and a tokkuri for around 11,000 yen for two people. The white miso soup was delicious. The motsu was chewy. We wanted more healthy pork and vegetables. The stone-ground noodles were a bit firm. Just wanted more soup. The chijimi was so-so.

I always come here when I want to eat motsunabe! It's a popular restaurant so I think it's better to make a reservation. You can choose from two types of broth and customize the toppings to your liking. This time, I chose the recommended toppings from Kamehachi, and the raw wheat gluten was really delicious. For the finishing touch, you can choose between noodles and rice, and I chose noodles which were smooth and delicious! For dessert, I ordered the recommended matcha warabi, which came with ice cream and was very delicious.

The restaurant is a bit hard to find, and I accidentally walked into the wrong place at first, but the staff there kindly directed me to the right location. The motsunabe broth was delicious, and I enjoyed the zosui at the end. I would like to go back again.

Taste 5.0, Atmosphere 5.0, Cost Performance 5.0 I arrived in Pontocho around 6:30 on a weekday and was looking for a place to eat. Places like Tora-ya, Yamafuku, and Kamehachi Honkan were already full and couldn't seat us until around 8:30. However, this restaurant still had a few tables available and we were able to get in. I was a bit anxious because I hadn't fully hedged my trilemma, but I managed to endure. There were many delicious menu items, not just hot pot but also mackerel appetizers and horse sashimi. In terms of price, it might have been slightly more cost-effective to go for the all-you-can-drink course considering what we ordered (5 dishes including hot pot, 3 drinks, for 3 people). However, since there were so many menu options, it was nice to be able to freely choose what we wanted to eat. Overall, it had a Kyoto vibe. (They even explained that they use water from Kyoto for the Premium Malt's beer. While listening, I thought, "I wonder if all the shops in Kyoto use water from there.") I think it's a great place for dinner during a trip. The concept of "Tori-ki risk" refers to the risk of a group of university students or young people going out to drink, where someone in the group suggests, "Why don't we just go to Torikizoku?" This leads to a sense of reluctance to choose and eventually the whole group ends up at Torikizoku. (Torikizoku is a good and affordable restaurant.)

Motsunabe is prepared with Kyoto miso, making it light and refreshing. The motsu is chewy and satisfying, pairing perfectly with the light broth. The staff's service was excellent, making for a delightful dining experience. The meal was truly delicious! Thank you very much! I now want to visit the main branch as well!

The motsunabe (tripe hot pot) is really delicious! It was just as good as the one I had in Hakata. We used a course in the 3000 yen range for a small year-end party, and the service from the staff was great. We had a fun time and left with full stomachs. We chose noodles as the finishing touch for the motsunabe with white miso broth.

This is my second visit to the annex. I visited because they offer a limited-time option to add mentaiko (spicy cod roe). The hot pot is filled with lots of ingredients, and the staff takes care of everything until it's ready. You can choose from 3 types of broth, and the white one becomes creamy and delicious. The side menu is also plentiful and everything is tasty. I went all out with noodles and risotto for a hearty finish! I will definitely visit again! The staff is really polite, and they even see you off outside when you leave. When it was a bit noisy inside one time, they apologized for the disturbance, so I think it's usually a quiet place to eat!

When you follow the main street sign in Pontocho, you will find a shop in the alley. The staff's customer service is polite. The mackerel served as an appetizer is delicious. The quality of the dishes, including motsunabe, is excellent. The restroom is clean, making it a comfortable place to dine.

This was my first visit. I was recommended by a friend who lives in Kyoto! It's a separate building, but the inside of the restaurant is spacious, and I was led to a tatami room on the second floor. It was very calming. The staff were all friendly, and I ended up ordering too much, but everything was delicious so I devoured it all.

I used this restaurant with friends for dinner. I forgot to take a picture, so I apologize for not having a proper one. I recommend the seared hormone. The cheese risotto as the finishing touch to the motsunabe is also very delicious, so please try it. The alcohol selection is also great, and we ended up drinking a lot.

I visited "Motsunabe Kamehachi Bekkan" in Kyoto's Pontocho area. I made a reservation for 6:00 PM and arrived at the restaurant, which was a 4-minute walk from Gion Shijo Station on the Keihan Electric Railway. The restaurant is located along the Pontocho Street, about a 2-minute walk from Hankyu's Shijo Kawaramachi Station, with a sign out front and down a narrow alley. I ordered the ¥5,000 special motsunabe full course with a 90-minute all-you-can-drink option. We started with a toast with a glass of draft beer. The course included smoked mackerel, fresh sashimi (horse meat yukhoe), Kamehachi's special Korean pancake, Me-hikari fried chicken, Kyoto motsunabe with pork belly topping, choice of noodles or zosui for the finale, and a chef's choice dessert. I forgot to take photos of some items due to being engrossed in conversation. The main dish, Kyoto motsunabe in white miso broth, was made with Kyoto junmai white miso and Kyoto dashi soup. The gentle flavor complemented the high-quality motsu, made only with Omi beef small intestines. The mild fatty meat was sweet and incredibly tender, almost melting in the mouth. It was truly delicious! Thank you for the feast!

Kyoto's Pontocho is like the Kokucho area in Sendai. It has a fashionable and lovely atmosphere typical of Kyoto. The reservation site only offered course meals, but I wanted to try other dishes as well. I added a question mark in the remarks section asking if I could order individual items. The next day, the restaurant called to inform me that individual items were not available with the course meal. I was given the option to change my reservation to a table seat or switch to ordering individual items. I ended up ordering the special white motsu nabe, a platter of two types of horse sashimi, sweet and sour marinated white shrimp (forgot to take a photo), and grilled hachinosu (tripe). For drinks, I had a Premium Malt's beer, a mango sour (which turned out to be the same as my friend's when I said I wanted the same as hers), and a glass of Dassai sake. Kyoto's image for me was light and clear flavors, but the dishes turned out to be quite rich. The motsu nabe was especially flavorful, and we were instructed to add garlic just before eating it. It was delicious. The staff were in control of the motsu nabe entirely. For dessert, I had cheese risotto, which was also delicious. I was satisfied and had a great dining experience. Thank you for the meal.

A high-class restaurant for motsunabe! The interior is cozy and spacious. When you have a sudden craving for motsunabe, this is the place to go. You can enjoy authentic motsu here. The texture is chewy yet melts in your mouth, and you can also add toppings. The staff prepares the motsunabe right in front of you, so all you have to do is wait. They seem to pay a lot of attention to the seasoning. I felt so happy here - I will definitely go back!

I have visited this place over dozens of times in the past. To be clear, I am a huge fan to the point where I can confidently say that I don't want to eat any other motsunabe besides Kamehachi's. The smoked mackerel served as an appetizer is divine. I always order the white motsunabe, but I am thinking about trying a different one next time.

It is said to be one of the two major motsunabe restaurants in Kyoto. I felt like having hot pot, so I made a reservation a week ago and visited. It is located in a narrow alley in Pontocho, just across the Kamo River from Gion Shijo Station, with a red motsunabe lantern as a landmark. I arrived right on time for my reservation at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday. The place was packed at this time, indicating that it is thriving. The plan with all-you-can-drink option seems to be popular, attracting a younger crowd. The staff, who are also young, provided a pleasant and detailed explanation of the menu. I opted for the most reasonable "Eetokotori Course (¥3500)". For drinks, I had "Kyoto Premium Malt's Draft Beer (¥550)" and "Oolong Tea (¥300)". The course included: - Smoked Aomori sardine - Half-Breed Fu and Yuba Sashimi - Today's fresh dish: Horse sashimi carpaccio - Kyoto motsunabe (white) - Top-quality Omi beef motsu aburi - Finale: Zosui or noodles - Dessert: Yuzu sherbet The "shime saba" had a rich flavor with just the right amount of moisture removed. It's a dangerously delicious dish that goes well with alcohol. The "yuba" had a tofu-like appearance with wasabi and soy sauce. It had a slightly firm and creamy texture with a mild and rich flavor. The "horse sashimi" was not satisfying with just garlic chips, so the grated garlic at the table came in handy. The "aburi motsu" was grilled with a special sweet sauce. It had a slightly intense flavor, but it paired perfectly with the accompanying wasabi. The "motsunabe" was served ready to eat, and the table stove was designed to keep the soup warm. The broth had a subtly sweet white miso base that was indescribably delicious. The ingredients included Omi beef offal, pork belly, leeks, bean sprouts, burdock, cabbage, tofu, and nama-fu. The offal, which was said to be Omi beef, had a rich fat content and a thick texture. It was rich and had no unpleasant smell, making it a perfect match for alcohol. The cabbage, soaked in the broth, was also incredibly delicious. For the finale, I chose "noodles" as I thought it would bring out the flavor of the broth. After the pot was cleared, the noodles arrived after a short wait. The chewy Chinese noodles soaked up the broth and were incredibly delicious, proving to be the right choice. I was quite full, but it was so delicious that I managed to finish it all. The dessert was a yuzu sherbet with fruit pulp. I was also pleased with the warm hojicha and the handwritten "Thank You" gum as a service. I had the impression that it would be more like a popular place because it was an old and famous restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was not like a typical motsunabe restaurant, but a place where you can enjoy alcohol with a younger crowd.

I usually go to the main branch, but this time I went to the annex. I didn't have a reservation, but since it was a weekday, I was able to easily get a seat at the counter. I had the motsu nabe (tripe hot pot) and it was delicious! I always finish with ramen. The tsukudani (preserved fish) is also excellent. I wonder if this mackerel is a regular menu item. The motsu nabe has a rich tripe broth and the soup is very tasty.

In the middle of Pontocho, there is a restaurant called Shiramiso Motsunabe. They serve grilled offal, yuba, and various other dishes. They offer champon noodles or zosui as a finishing dish. The white miso broth is rich but light and easy to eat, making it a good choice for the winter season.

It was an elegant hot pot using Kyoto white miso and Kyoto dashi! The hot pot is made at the table, and the staff manages it until the end, so it was reassuring. The price range was satisfying without being too expensive. Not only the hot pot, but the other dishes were also very delicious, and the staff was friendly, making it a comfortable place to be. I feel like going back many times and would like to recommend it to someone else!

It was a date in Kyoto (-^∀^-) After much deliberation, we decided to go to a restaurant in the Kawaramachi area to satisfy our craving for motsunabe. The restaurant is located in a narrow alley off of Pontocho, with large lanterns as a landmark. This area has a great atmosphere, especially at night, and it's one of my favorite places. Today, we ordered the "Proud Nabe Full Course" for 5000 yen per person (tax included). The course included Kyoto motsunabe (white) with Kyoto pork belly topping, shime of wagyu beef suet or noodles, zosui, smoked Aomori saba, fresh dish of Tajima local chicken carpaccio, Kamehachi special chijimi, Miyazaki mehikari fried chicken, and dessert, all with a drink all-you-can option. The staff took care of preparing the hot pot, but it was quite different from what I had in mind. The white miso broth was fairly tasty, but the flavors like yuzu kosho and garlic didn't quite work for me. The hormone meat was firm, but it felt heavy on the stomach. The cabbage was so large that it filled me up quickly. The burdock in the pot was delicious, though, and paired well with the white miso. However, I found the chijimi and fried chicken to be a bit too oily. I felt bad about it, but I ended up leaving quite a bit of food unfinished. Perhaps it would have been better to order smaller dishes individually. Overall, it was a filling meal, but not exactly what I had hoped for. Thank you for the meal ┏○)) ===========
