Lunch-lime-only pho specialty restaurant [Pho Ya] is now open at [Palmela] in Kitaoji.

September 1, 2024 open

Palmela" (Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture), opened in 2023 by Mr. Masumoto, owner of "Preserved Food Lab," which sells preserved foods, is now operating as a pho specialty restaurant "Pho Shop" three days a week for lunch only. As the name suggests, the restaurant serves pho, a Vietnamese noodle dish.

Pho is a food that is easy to arrange and can be combined with a variety of ingredients, giving you the freedom to decide where you want to land," says Masumoto, explaining why he was so fascinated with pho. The soup, which is made by slowly simmering a combination of chicken and other flavorful vegetables such as pak choi root, lemongrass, ginger, and scallions, has a deep and nourishing flavor.

Pho with chicken and kikurage mushrooms ¥1,000. Made with chunky rice noodles with a bit of starch. Plenty of home-grown pak choi and other toppings.

Three kinds of homemade seasonings, including green chili peppers in fish sauce, can be used to change the taste, satisfying even the most discriminating palate. Two types of pho are available depending on the day, and unusual flavors such as Lao-style khao soi pho topped with meat miso are sometimes available. Other Asian-style dishes such as spring rolls and shijimi clam marinated in rice wine can also be enjoyed.

One spring roll with rape blossoms and shrimp, priced at 350 yen, is colorful with seasonal vegetables. The sweet chili sauce sauce is made with [preserved food lab]'s sansho (Japanese pepper) aromatic oil.
