About Kiyama

Our store is located just a 5-minute walk from Marutamachi Station and close by the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

We use water pumped from a well on the premises to make dashi broth, an essential ingredient in Japanese cuisine. By shaving bonito flakes in front of customers, we convey the traditional essence of Japanese cuisine, which is on the verge of being lost.

After tasting the freshly made first brewing dashi broth, guests can savor the seasoned soup stock in the simmered dish. The subtle changes in flavor enhance the overall dining experience.

The newly installed counter seats on the second floor, which have the ambiance of a tea room, are very popular.

We look forward to your visit.
