Overlooking the gentle flow of the Shirakawa River stands a Kyo-machiya, a traditional Kyoto townhouse with over 100 years of history.

In this elegant setting, designated as a Historic Scenic Building by the City of Kyoto, Sanmikouan welcomes you.

The restaurant is renowned for two signature offerings: the homemade Juwari Soba (100% buckwheat soba), showcasing the artisan’s skill, and the soul-soothing Kamonabe (duck hot pot).

For our soba, we carefully select domestic buckwheat and stone-mill it into flour in-house every morning. We invite you to savor the robust flavor and refreshing finish unique to 100% buckwheat noodles made with freshly milled flour.

Before your meal, we encourage you to enjoy the refined tradition of Soba-mae. To accompany our special appetizers, we offer perfectly chilled sake as well as natural wines thoughtfully selected by our sommelier to harmonize with your course. Leisurely sipping your drink is a pleasure in itself.

Immerse yourself in the elegance of Kyoto and our dedicated flavors in a space layered with history. We hope you will spend a truly fulfilling moment with us.

Additionally, our famous Saikyo-zuke (sweet miso-marinated fish) and Chirimen Sansho (dried sardines with Japanese pepper) are available at our storefront. Take home the taste of Kyoto as a souvenir for someone special or as a treat for yourself.
