■ Authentic 'Duck' and 'Horse' in Kyoto, a city with a rich culinary culture.

Kyoto is a city where a refined gastronomic culture has been cultivated alongside a thousand years of history.

In this land of highly polished culinary sensibilities, 'Kamo Tokidoki Uma Shijo Karasuma Main Store,' a restaurant specializing in duck and horse meat dishes, is born.

We offer vibrant ingredients carefully selected from all over the country, including Kyoto's branded ingredient 'Kyogamo,' in a space where Kyoto's tradition fuses with modernity.

Targeting local Kyoto residents and tourists seeking a unique dining experience, we aim to be a one-of-a-kind 'Health and Vitality Tavern' that revitalizes the body and mind through the power of 'Kyogamo' and 'Horse meat.'

Both 'duck meat' and 'horse meat' are known as strong allies for beauty and health, being exceptionally high in protein, low in fat, and rich in iron and vitamins.

The delicate umami of the fat from Kyoto-raised 'Kyogamo,' combined with the extremely fresh and vibrant taste of horse and duck delivered from Aomori and Iwate. By enjoying these alongside fine sake filled with the stories of their origins, we hope to be a place that connects to our customers' vitality for tomorrow. With this wish, we strive to serve the best dish and cup every day.

■ Carefully Selected Ingredients

Kyoto-produced 'Kyogamo':

'Kyogamo' is Kyoto's premier brand of duck. Under strict management and fed specialized feed tailored to the seasonal climate, they are raised stress-free in a spacious environment more than twice the size of free-range chicken farms.

Its greatest features are its beautiful, thick lean meat and pinkish-white fat. Scientifically proven to be delicious, the meat is finely textured and incredibly tender, spreading deep umami with every bite. Furthermore, the fat is rich in essential fatty acids and 'unsaturated fatty acids,' which are said to lower cholesterol levels, making it a superb, healthy ingredient beneficial for beauty and health.

At the new store, we will serve this 'Kyogamo' as our signature 'Green Onion Duck Grill' (Kamo Negi Yaki) and 'Duck Shabu-shabu,' masterfully crafted to maximize the quality of the ingredients.

Aomori-produced 'Odagiri Horse Sashimi':

The 'Odagiri Farm Horse Sashimi' from Aomori Prefecture is a branded horse meat raised with great care in the rich nature of the northernmost part of Honshu, impressing gourmets nationwide. Its key features are outstanding freshness achieved through strict hygiene management, and the sweet, melt-in-the-mouth fat. Fattened with high-quality feed, the meat is extremely fine and tender, with the rich, original umami of horse meat expanding as you chew. Please enjoy the clear, deep richness with no off-flavors, delivered directly from Aomori, one of Japan's leading horse meat production areas.

Iwate-produced 'Duck Sashimi':

Iwate-produced 'Duck Sashimi' uses high-quality, low-temperature cooked duck meat raised in rich nature. We pride ourselves on the overwhelming freshness that allows it to be served as sashimi. You can enjoy rare cuts unique to a specialty restaurant, such as 'Liver' with a moist and rich sweetness, 'Heart' packed with pleasant elasticity and umami, and 'Gizzard' with a distinct crunch. The rich flavor and body inherent to duck, which lacks any gaminess and expands with every chew, are truly luxurious tastes nurtured by the land of Iwate.

■ Introduction of Signature Dishes

Kyogamo Loin and Kujo Green Onion 'Kamo Shabu'

Another signature dish of our restaurant is 'Kamo Shabu,' which lavishly features the loin of Kyoto's proud branded duck, 'Kyogamo,' and 'Kujo Green Onion,' a synonym for Kyoto vegetables. When you lightly dip the Kyogamo—characterized by its fine lean meat and sweet fat—into our special broth, wrap it with plenty of Kujo green onions, and eat it, the texture and aroma of the green onions further enhance the mellow umami of the duck.

To finish, you can enjoy soba or udon noodles in the ultimate soup into which the duck broth has dissolved. It is truly a masterpiece that allows you to experience Kyoto with all five senses.
