Before I knew it, it had been over half a year since my last visit... I wanted to experience that excitement again! So I decided to revisit the restaurant. Today's set meal was supposed to be with medium fatty tuna and yellowtail sashimi, but I couldn't resist ordering the seafood chirashi bowl. This time, there were only people sitting at the counter. The speed at which the food was served, about 5 minutes after ordering, was much appreciated! This time, the bowl came with firefly squid and bamboo shoots on top. It's different every day, which is great. There were plenty of cuts that were closer to medium fatty tuna rather than regular tuna, and the salmon was incredibly thick! It also came with miso soup and pickled ginger, all for 850 yen. It's amazing. I don't want to share this hidden gem, but at the same time, I want to tell everyone about it! This is a wonderful restaurant that will make you struggle with such conflicting feelings.

I arrived at Nishioin's Kinpei, where I had been wanting to go for lunch for a while, for the 11:30 AM opening. Surprisingly, I found myself in the front of the line at 11:28 AM. I was a bit surprised. When I entered the restaurant, there was already a lady eating, which surprised me again. It seems like they have a fast pass system here. I ordered the usual seafood chirashi for 1100 yen. It seems like the price went up, but considering the quality and quantity, it's still a good deal.

Kyoto Nishiiin, near Aeon Mall Kyoto Gojo, Kinpei, Seafood Chirashi for 1,100 yen. The restaurant has a traditional sushi shop atmosphere. The head chef seems unfriendly, but not in a rude or arrogant way, it seems to be his usual demeanor and regular customers don't seem to mind at all. The other staff members are friendly. The sushi rice was slightly firm, but the fish was fresh and generously cut, making it one of the best value seafood options in Kyoto. Thank you for the meal! #Kyoto #Nishiiin #NishiiinGourmet #TraditionalSushiShop #Kinpei #SushiRestaurant #Sushi #SeafoodChirashi #Lunch #PopularSpot

I visited for lunch while running errands on Nishioji Street. Despite it being almost noon, the restaurant was nearly full. The daily special was deep-fried kiss fish, but 80% of the customers ordered the chirashi bowl for lunch. Although I was mainly there for the variety of tuna, the yellowtail, shrimp, and sea bream were all delicious. The miso soup was also homely and went perfectly with the meal. The large portion was also reasonably priced at 1,100 yen. It was a luxurious lunch experience.

I came here because I saw good reviews of the seafood chirashi lunch on several SNS platforms. I arrived at 11:20 am on a weekday, even though the restaurant opens at 11:30 am. There was no line. I was satisfied with the volume and taste of the seafood chirashi. The accent of the dashi egg and shiitake mushrooms enhanced the deliciousness. Perhaps due to the recent increase in ingredient prices, the price was 1100 yen, so the cost performance was not as good as before, but it still felt like a good deal.

I found this restaurant while looking for lunch in the area, and it had extremely high Google reviews. They are known for their seafood chirashi bowl which is said to be very generous in portion. I had to wait a little bit, but I was seated almost immediately. The seafood chirashi bowl was priced at 950 yen, although it used to be 750 yen a few years ago. From the photos, it seemed like there was a lot of fish beautifully arranged, but I wondered how they could make a profit. When the bowl arrived, it was impressive. The slices of fish were quite thick, more like chunks than sashimi. The tuna piece was almost a perfect cube. It was quite substantial and had a satisfying chewiness to it. It felt like eating a seafood bowl at a fishing port. The thickness of the fish made it a bit challenging to chew, but the effort felt luxurious. I left feeling completely satisfied with their commitment to quality. The restaurant was still full even after I left.

Located an 11-minute walk from Hankyu Nishinomiya Station, our restaurant is right near AEON Mall Kyoto Gojo. We do not have a parking lot. The exterior and interior have a traditional sushi restaurant vibe. Inside, there are counter seats and table seats. The atmosphere is cozy and nostalgic. I was seated at the counter. I visited during the Bon festival, so the menu only had seafood chirashi. I ordered the seafood chirashi for 950 yen tax included, with a free upgrade to a large portion. The dish arrived quickly, perhaps because there were few customers that day. I was told that on regular days, the place is often full. The chirashi bowl was filled with thick slices of sashimi, including sea bream, shrimp, tuna, amberjack, and salmon. The variety was impressive, and the fish was fresh and flavorful with no toughness. The large portion was quite satisfying. I heard they also offer the same dish at the same price for dinner. I'll definitely have to come back for dinner sometime!

I thought it was 850 yen for lunch but it's now 950 yen starting this month. My husband had chirashi sushi and I had mixed fry set meal. The restaurant is run by an elderly couple and a young woman (their daughter?). Honestly, the atmosphere is not great. The chairs are worn out and it's an old establishment, but for those who are particular about cleanliness, it's not the best choice. My husband's chirashi sushi was touched by tuna against the counter's COVID-19 partition when it was brought to us, I wouldn't have eaten it if it were me. If it was 850 yen, it would be acceptable, but I don't feel the need to go back for the taste and atmosphere. The portion size is good, so you will leave with a full stomach.

【Fresh, delicious, and great value for money♪】A local sushi restaurant loved by the community, where even on weekdays, regular customers gather during lunchtime. I arrived around opening time and it was already full! However, there was still one seat available at the counter, so I was seated right away. There were 4 table seats and around 7 counter seats, if I remember correctly. - Seafood Chirashi Bowl 850 yen I was so hungry that I ate before taking a picture, haha. The seafood in the bowl was fresh and delicious, as expected from a sushi restaurant. The mixed rice with chopped dried gourd was amazing♡ And all this for such a low price... it's too cheap. The popular seafood chirashi bowl was already sold out around 12:30. Next time, I'll go try the mixed fry.

Nishinoin "Nishikihei" On this day, I had a lunch meeting. I was taken to "Nishikihei" located a 10-minute walk from Nishinoin Station, a recommended restaurant. It was said that you can eat delicious and cost-effective chirashi sushi. It is near "Chikyuu no Kibo de Kangaero" which is a ramen shop. Frankly, the exterior is ordinary. I entered the store without expecting too much. The interior is a traditional sushi restaurant. There is a counter and a raised tatami seating area. It seems like a family-run business, with a homely atmosphere. The stubborn old man-like master is surprisingly gentle when he speaks. I thought that this shop has been loved for a long time, but at this point, I still had doubts about whether it was really delicious. Chirashi sushi for 850 yen And here is the recommended chirashi sushi. A voluminous dish that you can tell at a glance. Squid, flying fish roe, fatty tuna, lean tuna, sea bream, and yellowtail are packed in there! Furthermore, as you eat more, salmon and shrimp come out too! It's like a treasure chest of the sea that you can buy for 850 yen. Each piece is large, and the fatty tuna alone could easily cost 850 yen at other restaurants. It melts in your mouth. And you can even get a large serving of rice for the same price, which is a great deal. Miso soup is also included. I was stuffed. It was a happy lunch meeting!

I went to lunch with my wife. The seafood chirashi was full of ingredients and had thick slices, very satisfying tempura set meal. Compared to the chirashi sushi, it was just average. Next time, both of us will have the chirashi sushi!

It's been a while since I last visited. This place where Shiga, Osaka, and Kyoto come together is still my favorite. I always order the seafood bowl for 850 yen. The vinegared rice and toppings are always satisfying. Today, I had miso soup instead of red miso soup.

I was captivated by the overwhelming amount of chirashi sushi in the photo on the flyer, so I finally went to try it. Of course, I ordered the chirashi. The regular customers seemed to be ordering fried dishes, so I might try that next time. The old man and the woman in the kitchen were working together, and although the service was a bit slow, I understand that it's a small restaurant. The taste was just as I imagined, with delicious sashimi to enjoy with the rice. The miso soup was also very good. You can enjoy a satisfying meal with the chirashi sushi. The selection of fish may vary depending on what they have in stock at the time. Some photos showed plenty of tuna sashimi, but the one I had didn't have as much tuna. It's understandable due to preparation, but I will definitely be back for another visit!

Seafood chirashi, lots of variety and delicious.
