Hanamakiya

Our guide recommended Hanamakiya for lunch during our tour of Kyoto. My daughter is a vegan, and wanted soba with vegetables, but only in a non-fish based broth. That is what she got and she loved it. I had soba with sweet soy cooked herring, a local specialty. It was amazing! Our cups were kept... filled with a delicious cold tea. There was no wait for a table and the staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient. The atmosphere was lovely. We sat on mats, shoes off, at low tables. We highly recommend Hanamakiya for a delicious meal!!

Delicious homemade soba noodles in unusual varieties at this traditional restaurant, just minutes from Kinkaku-Ji. We stumbled upon Hanamikya on our way to the Golden Pavillion and they were honestly some of the beat soba noodles we’ve ever had. Really interesting varietes of both hoy and cold soba ...noodles and great attention to detail.

Delicious food near the temple. The beef soba set was absolutely delicious as was the ginger ale. Friendly service, English menu.

Delicious food, great tea, and beautiful restaurant. Highly recommend a stop. I had the udon-rice bowl set and it was filling and well worth the money!

The homemade soba is great, served with excellent local herring fish which is a gem. Tempura is good too. But everything is complimentary to the heroic sku - soba!!
