Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1961, this beloved Kyoto institution near Okazaki Park has served Western-style cuisine for over 60 years. Famous for its rich demi-glace omurice — the 'small' size rivals a 'large' at most restaurants. Selected for the Yoshoku 100 Best list in 2020, 2022, and 2025. Lines form before opening, with locals saying they've been coming since childhood.

Tabelog 3.59/1149 reviews, Yahoo Maps 4.17/208 reviews. Comments include: 'The portion even on small was mind-blowing', 'Unchanged taste for 60 years keeps me coming back', 'A must-stop whenever in Okazaki'. Yoshoku 100 Best 2025 winner.
