Kamanza Nagashima

A kappo run by a kind-hearted couple, who pour their hearts into making diners feel welcome — which is why they only cater to one party per evening. The meal begins with congee, or steamed mochi rice topped with seasonal items and then continues to a cup of sake accompanied by an assortment of snacks. In true Kyoto style, the wanmono is a white-miso soup. To close the meal, white rice cooked in clay pots is served — a dish the chef believes best reflects cooking skills; enjoy it with pickled vegetables hand-made by the proprietress.
