Warajiya - Kyoto

う鍋とう雑炊を頂きました。1階の個室は、風鈴と鳥の鳴き声で、落ち着いた田舎にでもいるようでした。 う鍋のうなぎは骨を綺麗に取り除いたぶつ切りで、初めて食べた調理法でした。う雑炊は、椎茸、人参がとても薄く切られていて、ほんのりと存在感を漂わせていました。美味しかったですが、量が。。お餅が。。凄かったです。長い歴史を経たお料理という感じで、よい経験をさせてもらいました。

13:00に予約で伺いました。コースは3種類。ランチはう雑炊のみがあるので、お宿で夕食がありましたから、そちらを注文しました。 先にお抹茶と和三盆の砂糖菓子が出ます。注文してからうなぎを捌くのかな。と思ったら意外に早く来ました。2人前が一つの土鍋できます。ご飯はたっぷり。お米はとても美味しいです。うなぎはほんの少しですね（笑） お出汁がよく、味がとても美味しかったです。

Amazing appetizer and eel soup. Started with high quality matcha followed by matcha starter, pickled carrot, pickled seaweed and simmered small fish. All of them were seasoned delicately and perfectly. The next dish was eel soup with very good tofu skin. It came with special green seasoning spice. The spice was very unique and really added layers of flavor to the soup. By far everything was perfect. But the next main course Eel Porridge was a little disappointing. Taste was similar to the soup, lacking diversity of flavor. Eel was not seasoned. I guess the essence of Japanese cuisine was to bring up the true flavor of the food itself. But the soup and porridge had too similar flavor dynamics, so I don’t think I will come back and pay 6k+ yen for the set meal. I hope there would be a la carte for the eel soup, for which I will definitely come back. Waitress barely spoke English.

Great food and great wide. all the courses were great and they spoke English. the price was high, but they warned us about it.

Great service, eating was very good, especially aalreis. the price is a bit high, but still recommend it to try.
