2025] 15 Recommended Lunches in the Shijo-Karasuma Area
June 18, 2024 open
Star Shokudo, a long-established Western-style restaurant in Kyoto established in 1925 and celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, opened [Kyoto Western-style Star Shokudo Karasuma Branch]. This is the first new restaurant to open in 66 years. The editorial staff went there at lunch time.
The store is located in the basement of the parking lot of the Daimaru Kyoto Store. The store was a little crowded due to the Gion Festival when I visited, but I was able to enter within 10 minutes of waiting.
The restaurant's open, retro atmosphere is decorated with historical photos that give a sense of the restaurant's history. The restaurant caters to a wide range of customers, from single women to businessmen and families, making it a great place for everyone to feel at ease.
Hamburger Steak and Fried Shrimp with Demiglace Sauce: 1,500 yen. Set A with rice or bread and corn soup is available for 380 yen.
The menu includes hamburgers and fried shrimp, standard Western dishes such as omelet rice and Neapolitan, as well as sweets such as Taisho pudding and a full drink menu. This time, I ordered the "hamburger steak and fried shrimp with demi-glace sauce. The soft and fleshy hamburger steak and fried prawns are the best combination in Western cuisine. The accompanying Neapolitan and corn soup are just like a children's plate for adults.
Are you coming to the Gion Festival? Please take a good rest. said a staff member who approached me. I thought the customer service was wonderful, as they also talked with regular customers and have been a longtime favorite as a Western-style restaurant in town.
