Hokkoriya

There aren’t that many obanzai restaurants in town, even in Kyoto. Obanzai cuisine refers to a traditional type of Japanese cuisine where at least half of the ingredients used at the restaurant are produced or processed in Kyoto. One of the most popular obanzai restaurants that you shouldn’t overlook is Hokkoriya. With over two decades in the business of serving local cuisine at such affordable prices, it’s no wonder this 2021 Michelin-starred restaurant is getting more and more customers from all around the country and world everyday. Obanzai’s set meals are one of the bestsellers, and the runner ups are the oden dishes that no one can stop talking about. Regardless of what you choose at Hokkoriya, you’ll be greeted with the warm hospitality of the chef-owner behind the counter and surrounded in an atmosphere that oozes nothing but Kyoto essence.
