Owner chef Mimotto. After her husband was stationed in Thailand, she learned Thai cuisine at a local culinary school. After returning to Japan, he opened a cooking class and Meguro [Thai Cuisine Mimotto].

“I went with my husband when he was stationed in Thailand, but since I had time, I enrolled in a cooking school and learned Thai cuisine,” says Mimotto. Even after graduating from culinary school, in order to deepen his knowledge in Thailand, he attended a professional school in Chiang Mai and deepened his knowledge of Thai cuisine.

“I have always wanted to open a restaurant in Kyoto, and this time I was finally able to open it. I think there are about 10 types of Thai cuisine that are known in Japan. It's interesting to have food, so if you dare to make it a course and try a dish that you don't know."

“In Tokyo, we don’t break it down too much, but in Kyoto, we break it down a bit and bring out our originality,” he says. For 16,500 yen, you can enjoy a total of 9 dishes that bring out Mimotto's individuality. Courses are only offered on Sundays and Mondays. In addition, from Wednesday to Saturday, we will start offering soup and rice that can be enjoyed from morning to lunch time. I can't take my eyes off Mimotto, who is full of ideas.
