📖 Place Overview & Story
Sliding open the door of Okakita, you are greeted by the smell of old wood and gentle kombu dashi. Away from the busy sights, this traditional room offers a quiet, honest Kyoto meal.
The clear but rich broth carries layers of umami, and the soft yet chewy noodles are distinctly Kyoto. Try the tempura oyako-don with silky egg, the kitsune udon with sweet simmered tofu skin, or the tempura udon for crisp batter soaking into hot broth.
