Kyoto Obanzai くらま Kyo no Obanzai · Kurama
Kyoto vegetables and charcoal,
the day’s obanzai.
At kotatsu floor seats, slowly.
Home cooking,
in the seasons of Kyoto.
The obanzai we cook each day begin with the Kyoto vegetables that arrived that morning. Cooked slowly over charcoal, steeped in dashi, the seasoning eased into balance. Nothing flashy — just gentle on the body, and quietly moving.
A room as still as a back-alley machiya. Settle into the kotatsu and the tension in your shoulders slips away — that is the kind of evening we serve.

Scent of cedar,
washi-paper light,
a kotatsu evening.
The day’s obanzai line the counter; a sunken kotatsu waits in the back room. From small banquets to one quiet drink alone. A Kyoto evening, tucked into a Kagurazaka backstreet.
