[Japanese ethnic cuisine near Nijo Castle [Dashi and Spice Kitchen Ma

July 3, 2025 open

[Dashi to Spice Kitchen Asa (Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture) is a new restaurant near Nijo Castle. The owner, Mr. Kiyota, who has honed his skills at a Japanese restaurant for many years, opened the restaurant adding ethnic elements to Japanese cuisine based on his own love of ethnic food and his experience attending cooking classes. The base of his cuisine is Japanese, with a slightly thick broth made from kombu (kelp) and souda gatsuo (dried bonito), and a soft aroma of spices.

In the center of the blue-gray interior is a large table that looks like a dining table, giving the impression that you are visiting someone's home. At the same time, the artisanal vessels and interior design give off a sophisticated atmosphere, perfectly matching Kiyota's goal of creating a space "between a store and a home. The name of the restaurant, "kitchen," was inspired by her grandmother, who was a good cook.
