Kyoto is filled with famous historical landmarks, and just touring these sightseeing spots can work up quite an appetite. It's in times like these that you'll want to visit a hidden gem like Kyoyoshi Ryotei. Tucked away in the alleyways east of the Gojo Bridge, not far from Kiyomizu Temple, this traditional Japanese soba restaurant offers soba, udon, and donburi dishes.
The most popular items on the menu are the soba and udon dishes. The clear broth, typical of the Kansai region, offers an elegant and refined flavor. The seasonal ingredients used in specialty dishes like mountain vegetable soba and kitsune soba are highly praised. The donburi dishes, including oyakodon and buta kakuni don, are also well-received for their generous portions.
