[Honta-tei Yanagibaba in Kyoto has started a special lunch. The "Dashi-maki-tamago-don" (rolled egg on top of rice in a bowl) has a big impact and is available for 870 yen!

Hello, everyone. One of the petty concerns of the Leaf editorial staff every day is "what to eat for lunch. We were thinking "I want to explore new restaurants," when we overheard that a Japanese restaurant had recently started offering a special lunch menu. And the menu was said to be "a bowl of rice topped with a large, fluffy rolled egg". So, I went there immediately!

The entrance is located slightly back from the road.

The restaurant is located at the intersection of Yanagiba Dori and Anekoji Dori. This is our destination [Kyoto Yanagibaba Honkonda-tei] on the first floor of a building. Inside the restaurant, there are counter seats, table seats, and tatami rooms in the back.

The interior of the restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere. There are many counter seats, so it is easy to come alone!

The restaurant has been open for lunch for some time, but the new affordable menu item, "Dashimaki-don," has become the talk of the town. The dish consists of rice topped with a minced chicken sauce and four luxurious Daisen chicken eggs! The dish comes with miso soup and is served on a bed of rice. The price is 870 yen with miso soup!

Look at the thickness of the egg. According to the owner, the broth is added until it is just barely solid, which makes it very soft to the palate. The combination of the tender flavor of the ankake and the soft and fluffy egg with the taste of the broth made me so happy.... This dish is limited to 10 servings a day, so it is recommended to go early.
