A 4-minute walk from Kyoto Station, “Baka Bondo” offers fresh seafood directly from fishing ports, as well as Kyoto-style obanzai, Kyoto oden, and its signature horse sashimi. To pair with the dishes, around 35 types of Japanese sake are always available, including premium selections. The spacious interior features horigotatsu seating that can accommodate up to 50 guests, making it ideal for both sightseeing meals in Kyoto and group banquets.
Fresh seafood directly from fishing ports
We source fresh seafood directly from fishing ports across Japan, carefully selecting the best ingredients in season. To let guests fully experience the quality of the ingredients, we highly recommend the “Sashimi Platter” (3 kinds ¥2,035 / 5 kinds ¥2,915). Please enjoy the rich umami and freshness of seasonal fish with excellent fat content.
Kyoto obanzai defined by rich dashi broth
Our Kyoto-style cuisine is built on a dashi base made from bonito and kelp. Menu highlights include “Kyoto Oden 5-item Assortment” (¥1,265) and “Kyoto Nama-fu Three-Color Dengaku” (¥935), offering authentic Kyoto flavors. Our popular “Obanzai assortment” (3 kinds ¥990 / 5 kinds ¥1,375) changes daily and may include dishes such as nanbanzuke or grilled Manganji pepper marinated in dashi.
A signature since opening: Kumamoto horse sashimi
Our horse sashimi, sourced from Kumamoto and served since the restaurant’s opening, is known for its strict focus on freshness and quality. Guests can enjoy various cuts including lean meat, kouné (fatty neck), and raw liver. We highly recommend the “Horse Sashimi Platter” (3 kinds ¥2,695 / 5 kinds ¥3,465), where you can compare different textures and flavors.
