Enjoy autumn in Kyoto with unique spicy cuisine | Lunch at Kyoto Imperial Palace South Restaurant izon

New spicy cuisine created with a Japanese theme

Appetizers and main dishes are created based on a seasonal theme.

This time the theme is "Japan."

・Grilled sea bass with spiced miso on a magnolia leaf

Hida Takayama's local dish "Hoba-yaki" served with homemade spiced miso.

The spicy miso sauce, made with Kyoto miso, spices, seafood soup, and fresh cream, is slowly grilled on a magnolia leaf, releasing an incredibly fragrant aroma.

The dish is filled with fresh sea bass purchased directly from the Kyoto wholesale market and plenty of seasonal vegetables from Ohara.

The root vegetables are confited to make them easier to eat.

This is a dish that goes well with both rice and alcohol.

・Grilled beef hamburger

A main dish created from Japanese food culture.

Since the Asuka period, when eating meat was banned, "so" has been a valued source of protein. It is an ancient preserved food made by boiling down milk.

Meat-eating was generally permitted during the Meiji period and continues to this day.

The beef is wrapped and baked in an oven, then covered in a rich spiced blueberry sauce and garnished with the Japanese spice wasabi.

Surrounding the dish are sautéed mushrooms, a touch of autumn, and kelp oil, a nod to Japan's unique seaweed-eating culture.

The homemade "Su" is diced and seasoned with honey, salt, pepper, and olive oil. The simple flavor of "Su" brings together the mildness of the complex sauce and oil.

・Spice hors d'oeuvres in a circle shape

A red and white appetizer with a Japanese flag motif.

Two types of mashed potatoes are sandwiched together with "Kachumba," an Indian-style diced vegetable salad.

The red potatoes are made with Ohara beets.

Topped with prosciutto, cream cheese, and figs.

The natural sweetness and acidity of fresh fruit adds an accent.

・Homemade marinated mackerel rice cooked with spices

Softly cooked basmati rice in a special seafood soup made from water from the Somei well at Nashiki Shrine.

This is an original spiced rice dish, roughly mixed with our homemade sauteed spiced mackerel.

We also use seasonal vegetables purchased at the Ohara market.

We apologize if the item is sold out.
