Known as “Kyoto’s Kitchen,” the Nishiki Market Shopping Street lies at the heart of the city. At its center stands Nishiki Hirano, a delicatessen that carries on a history of over a hundred years, continuing to carefully prepare its signature dashimaki tamago and tempura just as it always has. Easily accessible to visitors from Japan and abroad, the shop’s in-store eat-in space allows guests to enjoy freshly made dishes—served hot, straight from the grill or fryer. Take a moment during your journey to savor a plate that reflects the everyday flavors of Kyoto.
Fluffy, piping-hot dashimaki
Takes center stage at breakfast
For the main breakfast dish, you can choose from our in-house smoked thick-cut salmon, salmon marinated in Kyoto-style Saikyo miso and grilled to perfection, domestically sourced eel grilled in-house, nikudofu (beef and tofu simmered together), or smoked mackerel.
We also prepare a hot Japanese rolled omelet made with dashi stock, cooked to order with care. To finish your meal, we offer ochazuke-style rice served with savory broth. Rice refills are available, so please enjoy as much as you like.
Dashimaki Bento and Special Tempura
Take center stage at lunch
For lunch, we recommend the Special Tempura Set and the Domestic Beef Dashimaki Rice Box Set.
The Dashimaki Rice Box is topped with tender domestic beef simmered in a sweet and savory sauce. The rich umami of the beef complements the delicate flavor of dashimaki, a soft Japanese rolled omelet infused with dashi broth, creating a satisfying dish that captures the taste of Nishiki Hirano. Our tempura is fried to order, giving every bite a light, crisp texture and irresistible aroma. It is the perfect way to enjoy a leisurely and satisfying lunch between sightseeing stops in Kyoto.
