Found near Kyoto Gyoen, Kyoto! Obanzai Smile has been making seasonal bentos for 17 years.

A 10-minute walk north from Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Subway Station, there is a bento shop known by those in the know that often sells out in the blink of an eye after opening.

While continuing to work in his family business, Nishimura-san, the owner of Nishimuraya, had always wanted to open an obanzai shop someday. His dream came true 17 years ago at the age of 56. He has been making obanzai ever since. Currently, he and his nephew, who has 30 years of experience as a chef, run both the bento box shop and the small restaurant business at night.

The lunchboxes, available only on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, are filled with vegetables and are satisfying for many regulars who come back every time. The lunchboxes are filled with a lot of vegetables and are filling. I just end up adding more side dishes," he says.

The homemade taste of grilled meat with more vegetables, sauteed potatoes and green pepper, vinegared cucumber and jellyfish, and Nobuta egg injection, etc. are very satisfying. Today's bento 700 yen (contents change daily)

Evening meal, I'm sorry.
