It's been a while since I visited. Three girls, passing by, entered here. We didn't have a reservation, but it was good that there was space available. We took off our shoes and sat in the tatami room, checking the menu. There was a note saying, "Please order the course for the number of people," and there were three types of courses: 1) Isshin Nabe for 3300 yen/person, 2) Isshin Nabe Set (with one drink) for 3500 yen/person, and 3) Hormone Nabe (I forgot the price). There were several additional menu items to put in the pot and other a la carte options. For course 2, you can choose two from grilled mochi, udon, and okayu, but for course 1, you could have all three. We chose course 1, and it was a great choice! First, we received an appetizer, which was very delicious. The sweet and savory konjac and beef whetted our appetites. After a while, a cast iron plate filled with vegetables, tofu, and meat was placed on the table stove. We were told by the staff to put a little bit of the surrounding ingredients in the middle and cook them, as putting them all at once would overflow. Once cooked, we dipped it in a sauce-filled small dish and ate it. It had a slightly spicy taste, like a mix between Korean and Japanese hot pot. It was only available here. The cabbage, green onions, bean sprouts, and tofu were plentiful, increasing our appetite. Eating three servings with three girls made us quite full. We were glad we didn't order any additional menu items. When we finished eating, the staff asked, "Would you like grilled mochi or tteok?" I didn't know you could choose tteok. We chose grilled mochi. Since the mochi was already grilled, we just needed to dip it in the broth. If you cook it too long, it becomes mushy, so we pulled it out early to preserve the texture. It was incredibly delicious! When choosing from the three options for the end, people tend to choose udon and okayu, but I highly recommend grilled mochi. Next, we had udon. Even though we were full, it was surprisingly easy to eat the udon. There was quite a lot of it. Once we finished eating everything, rice, egg, seaweed, and green onions were added to the remaining broth. We let the staff mix it for us, and it was a delicious okayu. The flavor was addictive. I still want to eat it again. The seaweed flavor was excellent. We left the restaurant feeling a bit relaxed. Payment was also possible with a credit card. It was a great restaurant! I want to go again!

Every time I go to Kyoto, I always visit this shop. The chiri-tori nabe, addictive like Akakara, is a must-try. The course meal includes udon as the finishing touch, followed by ojya. Priced at 3500 yen, it's cheap and delicious. Despite not feeling overly full, you can easily finish the meal. From there, please head to Kiyamachi. LOL

I came on April 4th, Yoshi Day, Sunday. I think it's been 6 years. The Ishin hot pot was sweet and delicious, making my mouth happy. The kimchi is like a deep pickle. The crunchy texture of bean sprouts, the tenderness of the meat, and the sweetness of the tofu stood out, making me completely satisfied and happy. It permeated through my whole body. Since the menu is extensive, I plan to try the hormone hot pot next time. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely go again. I will give thanks to all the ingredients in this world. Calling all delicious foods♪ The more you eat, the more power overflows♪

I've lost count of how many times I've visited, but I always crave it. The best thing about Isshin Nabe is the delicious sweet and savory broth and sauce. It's irresistible. The set course is tasty and filling. Plus, it's a great deal. I recommend finishing with udon noodles followed by zosui. It's the best. Having two finishing dishes is a nice touch. (In the course, you can choose between udon, zosui, and mochi, but I highly recommend udon and zosui.)

I came to the Higashiyama branch out of curiosity because I had a delicious meal at the main store. It's still delicious here. The sauce inside has just the right amount of salt, preserving the umami of the vegetables and meat without overpowering it. The sweetness and spiciness are subtly balanced, and the dipping sauce complements it perfectly. The meticulousness in the calculation of flavors is admirable. Although the Higashiyama branch is only a short distance from the main store, the taste was consistent and equally delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Every time I visit this place, I think to myself that it was a good decision to come. And every time, there is always someone new joining us, and they end up wanting to come back again. This time, we had the Isshin Nabe course. It comes with one drink, appetizers, the nabe, and two choices for the finale (rice, udon, or porridge). I recommend the udon and porridge. The combination of the sweet and savory broth, lots of vegetables, meat, and delicious tofu is truly unique and cannot be found elsewhere. While the Nishiin branch is usually crowded, this one is relatively quiet and easy to visit.

I went to eat Ishinabe (one-pot dish) for the first time in a while. I used to visit the main store in Kitashirakawa, but this time I went to the Higashiyama store for the first time. I tried to make a same-day reservation on Saturday, but it was fully booked due to the year-end party season. I managed to make a reservation for Sunday at 5:00 PM. We ordered two sets of Ishinabe, appetizers, mochi, udon, and ochazuke (rice with tea poured over it). We could choose two items from the menu for the set, and it came with a complimentary drink (beer or non-alcoholic beer). First, we had appetizers and beer. We enjoyed beef tendon and konjac simmered in a spicy sauce while waiting for the Ishinabe to be ready. The Ishinabe was served in a shallow iron pot with ingredients like beef loin, bean sprouts, cabbage, and green onions placed around the edges. Once the center was cooked, we added the ingredients from the edges into the pot. The dipping sauce was slightly sweet, but with a refreshing sweetness, and it came with green chili peppers on the side. The broth of the Ishinabe had a rich flavor, so those who prefer lighter taste may not need the dipping sauce. Despite looking quite substantial, it was mainly vegetables so we could finish it easily. The taste is addictive, and I come back to eat it whenever I remember it.

I visited again this time. I wanted to order the course and grilled meat dish as usual, but unfortunately the grilled meat was sold out. Too bad. I'll have to try it next time. I chose the usual udon and porridge for the course. The sweet and savory flavor is always the best no matter how many times I eat it. The tofu is also delicious. I will definitely visit again.

The main branch of Isshin in Higashiyama is located in Kitashirakawa, but since it opened in Higashiyama, I have been going there almost exclusively. They serve a unique style of hot pot where ingredients are placed around the edge of the pot and cooked in the broth in the center. Once the ingredients are cooked, you dip them in the sauce before eating. It's very simple but the broth and sauce are delicious! I always stop by for gatherings or just on a whim. The taste never changes. Finally, they serve a promised ochazuke using the broth, along with pickled cucumbers and eggplants. I will definitely go back again!

This place serves excellent hot pot. The pickled vegetables are also delicious. Ordering a set is a good deal!

It was delicious. When I ordered porridge, the color of the egg that came out was very orange and beautiful.

Customers are generally pleased.

I'm not sure which visit it is, but I visited the restaurant again. It's not a very big place, so I always sit in the same seat. I ordered the usual, starting with seared sashimi. It's really delicious. You can fully enjoy the sweetness of the meat's fat. I forgot to take a photo, but the appetizers are also quite tasty. At this point, I'm always satisfied. I always order the course, and the meat hot pot never gets old. This time, I noticed that it went from hot pot to rice cakes to udon to porridge, which was a power-up. I'm already full, but it's so delicious and satisfying. I will definitely come back again.

I have been to this restaurant many times, so I am already familiar with it. The 3,400 yen set menu includes a hot pot course with udon noodles, ochazuke, and a drink. I added some beef tataki on the side. The appetizer is always exciting, with a spicy and flavorful taste. After a short wait, the main hot pot arrives. It's always a joy to see it. Once the ingredients in the pot start boiling, it's time for the first round of hot pot. Dip the ingredients in the special sauce and enjoy. It's delicious as always, and everyone is fully engaged in eating. The tataki was served a bit late, but it was still tasty even after we had eaten a lot. For the finale, we had udon noodles and then ochazuke. The photos may not do them justice, but they were both excellent. This is one of the few restaurants where I always find the food delicious no matter how many times I visit.

This shop seems to be quite well-known among people in Kyoto, but those in the same industry as me had never heard of it. By chance, I saw the shop while waiting at a traffic light in front of the intersection in autumn. I couldn't stop thinking about how delicious it looked as we passed by. Finally, I visited the shop this time! We ordered the hot pot course, as well as kimchi and tataki on the side. The appetizer that came out first was konjac and meat simmered in spicy sauce, and it was delicious! The tataki was also amazing. Everyone's excitement levels were through the roof. The hot pot was similar to a chili hot pot, where you drop tofu, vegetables, and meat into the center indentation and cook it. It was seriously delicious, including the sauce. Finally, we had udon and porridge. We put the udon in the leftover broth, which was naturally tasty. They also brought out rice with an egg hidden underneath! This performance was shocking. And the porridge was incredibly delicious. This shop is more than satisfying with just the course alone. The location is a bit hard to get to, but the shop is clean and I will definitely visit again.

Dustpan hot pot, with mochi, udon, and rice as the finishing touch. Generous portion.

Kyoto's delicious Ishin Nabe hot pot, I will definitely go back!
