Appearance of Chikako

Found near Kiyomizu Gojo Station, Kyoto! Nori bento with Kyoto Miso pickles from Chikako, a fresh fish restaurant founded in the Meiji era

Chikako, a one-minute walk from Kiyomizu Gojo Station on the Keihan Railway, is a fresh fish restaurant established in the late Meiji period that is constantly visited by customers, including chefs and local residents. Next to fresh seafood purchased from the Kyoto Central Market and Akashi Port, prepared dishes and boxed lunches are also available.

Chikako's Bento

The sweetness of miso and the flavor of the fish can be felt simply by marinating it in Kyoto miso, as in the old days. Gindara (silver cod) is selected from the best tasting region depending on the season. Fishmonger's nori bento box: Gindara pickled in Kyoto miso (1,550 yen)

Among them, the signature item, a nori bento box containing silverfish marinated in Kyoto miso paste, is a popular item that is sure to sell out. The silverfish is grilled slowly over a distant fire, and its luster is so bright that you can tell it has a good amount of fat in it. The side dishes are handmade at the restaurant, including tempura made with sea bream chikuwa, and are packed with the luxurious flavors that only a fresh fish restaurant can offer.

Other items include tendon, sushi, and grilled fish. Enjoy the taste of professional fish chefs at your leisure.
