Taisho HANANA

I went to Arashiyama, Kyoto, yesterday. I took the No. 5 sightseeing train. I felt the slow pace of life in Kameoka. The bamboo forest path is very beautiful. I ate at Taisho Hanana, a Michelin one-star restaurant. The food is delicious, mainly sea bream and chazuke, and the restaurant closes when it sells out. I saw the Togetsukyo Bridge. Well, that's it.

The restaurant is warmly decorated, the ingredients are fresh, the dishes are very special and delicious!!! The boss is very cute and kind! There are also Chinese-speaking staff who patiently introduced the dishes to me. Everyone must come and eat~~~

We had Taichaduke for lunch. It was an excellent and unique meal so far on this long trip. I recommend going early or later to avoid the long lunch lines.

This is a Michelin one-star restaurant. The environment of the restaurant is very nice. Every Japanese food here is absolutely delicious. You can see from the attached picture that every dim sum and every dish is so exquisite. Although the quantity of each dish is relatively small, the taste is really delicious.

I came to Arashiyama just to taste the Taisho HANANA, which once won one Michelin star. It was already past 2pm when I arrived at the restaurant. Because it was past meal time, there were not many people queuing up, and I waited for about 40 minutes. There are not many locations in the store, and there are 2 floors. Because I came late, many meals were sold out, and only one set meal was left. The price of the set meal is 2160yan, one meal per person, about 150 per person. The price-performance ratio is still quite high, no wonder so many people come to eat here, and you can pay by credit card here. The main food here is sea bream sashimi. The sea bream set meals are relatively delicate, fresh, and very delicious. It is recommended to try it when you come to Arashiyama.

A Michelin one-star restaurant within the Arashiyama Scenic Area, the price is really very affordable. Usually there are a lot of people queuing here, maybe it's already after 2 pm when you get there, although you still have to queue up, but you don't have to wait too long. We ordered a total of 5 sets of sea bream rice with green tea, and also added some white jade matcha ice cream. It was spectacular to fill the table with one set after another. My friend also said that if you order a set meal, you will also get a rice bucket. When can ours be served? Sure enough, after the raw sea bream with sesame sauce was served, a bucket of rice was served soon. In fact, it was really full because rice can be added. The menu has written how to eat it, but I personally prefer to eat the sea bream raw with the sauce directly. If you want to eat the sauce with rice, you really need to soak it in tea, so that the saltiness will be just right. Anyway, try all three ways of eating. The sea bream is indeed very fresh, and it is piled up into a small hill. The portion is not small. What we didn't expect the most is that the matcha ice cream here tastes good too. Just a reminder that the menu here is in Chinese, but the waiters don’t speak Chinese. However, we can still communicate by using gestures.

I came across Taisho when I was leaving Arashiyama. There was a long queue at lunch time, but the wait was worth it. It was the best meal I've ever had. The fish was fresh and tender, and the rice was so delicious that a girl like me could eat three small bowls. The side dishes were exquisite. The overall experience was very good, and the price was fair. Highly recommended!
