This Chinese restaurant opened in 2003 in the city of Kyoto. The restaurant's name comes from the name of the capital's kitchen, "Omono no Tokoro," which used to be located in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, and was named Zeze (陪膳). The restaurant serves Chinese court cuisine, including the famous Peking duck and braised shark's fin. The restaurant is a renovated store and residence of a historic former kimono merchant, and beyond the Western-style entrance lies an atmospheric Kyoto machiya (traditional townhouse). In the warehouse at the back of the courtyard, there is a small and cute bar named "Pochochi" where you can enjoy drinks from all over the world.
