Saishoku Kotosha is located in Jodoji, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City, along Shirakawa Dori, right in front of the bus stop.
It has an attractive atmosphere that is like a hideaway known only to those in the know. However, once you enter, you will not be turned away to first-time customers, and you will be warmly welcomed by the owner, Yuki Kato, and all the staff. The interior is subtly elegant, with floors and walls muted in color and natural materials such as earth, wood, and stone used.
“I want people to feel the joy of eating delicious vegetables without being too stoic about veganism or organic food,” he says.
For example, the fragrant seaweed and the sourness of the plum meat make a good accent for the vegetable plum meat nori roll.
Your five senses will be stimulated by dishes that take advantage of the unique characteristics of vegetables, such as the pleasant crunchy texture of raw vegetables, wild vegetables with the scent of spring, and thick soups.
This is a must-try meal not only for vegans and organic-minded people, but also for those who feel like they don’t have enough vegetables in their daily diet.
