Kyotaru

If you’re choosing sukeroku for lunch, the seasoning of the kanpyō (dried gourd) filling may catch your attention. One diner who had the dish at Kyotaru at lunchtime remarked, “I feel like the kanpyō could be saltier.” That comment offers a glimpse of one person’s taste; sukeroku is one option to consider for lunch. The branch is on the basement 1 floor of Kyoto Daimaru, and takeaway is available.

Another diner, in Kyoto on a business trip, chose Japanese-style food from a department-store food hall for dinner and enjoyed it in their hotel room. Picking up food to take back and eat in your room is another option.
