Hanbei Bran" has been supporting the bran culture in Kyoto for more than 300 years since its establishment. The roots of Chabo Hanbei originated from the idea of "introducing how to use bran so that it can be easily enjoyed at home" when it was used mainly in vegetarian dishes and ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurants). Their signature dish is Mushiyoi, which is made with their specialty bran and yuba (dried bean curd). The name comes from the Kyoto dialect meaning "a light meal to nourish the stomach," but the variety and volume of the menu is surprisingly large, despite its elegance. Enjoy the mushiyoi of kyo bran and yuba in the restaurant, which makes use of a Kyoto townhouse and a retro-modern Western-style building, while feeling the history of the area.
Mushiyaki: 4,400 yen. A wide variety of dishes that make the most of the deliciousness of fu and yuba are lined up in a narrow space. The modest size is easy to carry in the mouth.
