The original motsunabe at this restaurant is incredibly delicious. In addition to the classic motsunabe, there are also various Kyoto-style dishes to enjoy. The unique flavor of the motsunabe is addictive, making it a place you'll want to visit again. It is located right along Oike Street, just a short walk from Nijo Station. Since it's always crowded, reservations are a must.

I finally fulfilled my long-standing wish to visit a motsunabe (tripe hot pot) restaurant that I had always wanted to go to and went with my family. We arrived earlier than our reservation time, but we were kindly seated right away. The motsu (tripe) we had been looking forward to had a chewy texture, and we also added extra cabbage and motsu. We finished our meal with delicious champon noodles and left completely satisfied. The jazz music playing in the background created a soothing atmosphere at this motsunabe restaurant. The manager and staff were very polite, and it's a place I would like to visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

It was very delicious, but despite making a reservation, I was given a counter seat... I couldn't eat slowly...

The sansho pepper hot pot is amazing.

I think the motsunabe (tripe hot pot) was delicious. I was able to reserve a relaxed table seat and enjoy my meal. I plan to use this restaurant again in the future.

The motsu hot pot was delicious. I also recommend the smoked motsu.

The food was delicious. It would have been even better if it wasn't at the counter seat.

It was a very kind and delicious restaurant. The specialty vinegar tripe was excellent as an appetizer! The main tripe hot pot was carefully prepared with no odor, the soup was delicious, and it rivaled the taste of the restaurant I often visited in Tokyo. I will definitely go again.

You can't go wrong with the recommended dishes at this restaurant. The beer is also delicious, so be sure to order it!

The motsunabe was delicious‼️

The taste of the food, the attentiveness of the staff.

In the slightly cooler month of September, I decided to go to Nijo Station with a friend to see a movie we wanted to watch. We were also planning to have dinner before heading back, so we were exploring the area when we were drawn to this restaurant by a large red lantern. The restaurant is located near JR Sagano Line, right by Nijo Station. It's just a short walk from Senbon Street, right after crossing the traffic light. The entrance is a bit hidden, but the noticeable red lantern makes it easy to find. Upon entering, we found a cozy little restaurant with various seating options including tables, tatami rooms, and a counter. We were greeted with a cheerful "Irasshaimase!" which immediately lifted our spirits. We sat at the counter for two and were given hot towels and a menu explanation. The specialty dish, Kyoto motsunabe, caught our attention, along with other tempting options like grilled local chicken and chijimi. We ordered two servings of the Kyoto motsunabe, a mixed grilled dish, and one more item. Of course, we couldn't resist ordering beer! It turns out this is a highly skilled restaurant, so our expectations were high. The beer arrived promptly, and we made a toast. The food kept coming, and each dish was delicious! The motsunabe, with its white miso broth filled with motsu and vegetables, was especially tasty. The grilled chicken was flavorful, and the salt seasoning complemented it perfectly. The summer vegetables were also delightful and felt healthy. We were told that they source organic, pesticide-free vegetables from a nearby greengrocer, which made us feel good about what we were eating. We finished our meal with a comforting egg rice soup after the motsunabe, and our stomachs were full. The staff was friendly and energetic, making the dining experience enjoyable. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Let's toast how many times now... Without any specific restaurant in mind, we gradually made our way west, passing by Kamogawa River, Horikawa, Nijo Castle, and so on, all in connection with Kyoto's Tanabata festival. Normally, we tend to choose popular or new and interesting restaurants, but today we decided to go with a place we already know well. This place is part of a group of restaurants known for their consistent service, which never fails to impress. I've never had a bad experience here, always receiving excellent hospitality. Let's gather around a hot pot and chat. Cheers to this place. (laughs)

I visited this restaurant for the first time in January 2013. It is located about 15 meters east of the rotary at JR Nijo Station. I had heard about the famous motsunabe from the Kameya Group, so I had high expectations. The interior of the restaurant was surprisingly small, with only a few seats at the counter and a few tables. I started with a glass of draft beer and ordered the simmered tendon and motsunabe. The simmered tendon had a delicious flavor and the motsunabe was light and the hormone was tender and delicious. The bill was surprisingly affordable, and I was amazed by the value. I will definitely be back!

Last month, I went to a restaurant called "Hanahana" in front of Nijo Station with my friends. It was my second visit, after a long time. It seems like they changed the interior a bit since the last time. I was a little scared thinking what if the large plant pots hanging from the ceiling at each table fell during an earthquake. We ordered dishes such as 3-color Kyoto-style fried wheat gluten for 577 yen, assorted sashimi for 661 yen, Hanahana salad for 661 yen, seafood chapchae for 682 yen, kimchi for 661 yen, rolled omelette in broth style for 577 yen, and sausage and potato cheese bake for 577 yen. The first few dishes were elegant in portion size, so when we ordered three more dishes towards the end, the sausage dish turned out to be surprisingly filling, making it difficult for us to finish. The taste was average, but the prices for each dish were reasonable, and the total bill for two people was 4,940 yen this time. Also, if you bring a movie ticket from BiVi on the day of your visit, you can get a dessert as a service at this restaurant. Address: 26-12 Shokushi-cho, Nishinokyo, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, Aparu Gojo 1F. Phone: 075-822-7055. Open from 17:30 to 01:00 (Last order at 24:00). Closed on Sundays.

I have been using this shop occasionally for a while now. In front of the shop, there is a red lantern that says "Nijo specialty motsunabe," which stands out. The staff are all lively and the atmosphere is great, even though the space is not very big, it feels very lively. The staff explain the menu and recommendations accurately, which leaves a very good impression. Besides motsunabe, this shop also features fish, grilled chicken, and Korean dishes (chijimi, chapchae, etc.), all of which have quite delicious flavors. Especially, the chijimi and chapchae were delicious. However, this time I went for the motsunabe, so I refrained from ordering other dishes. The sashimi fish had a bit of a fishy smell, but other than that, everything was good. The motsunabe, in particular, is said to be prepared in the style of "Kamehachi," but honestly, I think it's more delicious than "Kamehachi." The motsu is chewy and large, with plenty of fresh vegetables, making it a very satisfying taste. As for drinks... the highball was surprisingly weak (lol). That's a no-go. I recommend the beer (Premium Malt) and the variety of shochu they have. Overall, it's a shop with a good impression, but I wish they had a bit more capacity. It can get crowded even on weekdays, so making a reservation is a safe bet.
