【Kyoto, Shogoin】The Birth of 'Donabe Saizen Toyouke,' a Supreme Breakfast Spot with Only Six Seats, Dedicated to the Goddess of Food. Experience the Ultimate Morning Meal Woven from the Owner's Carefully Selected 'Sagabiyori' Rice and Artisan Craftsmanship.

*The crisp noren (shop curtain) of "Toyouke" heralds the start of a new day.*

■ Concept: "The Starting Table" Sharing the Blessings of Toyouke Omikami

The restaurant name "Toyouke" is derived from Toyouke Omikami, the Goddess of Food enshrined at Ise Grand Shrine's Geku (Outer Shrine). Every meal we partake in daily is a gift from the gods. We offer an experience to appreciate each grain and savor it with heightened senses, all within a tranquil space of just six seats.

*Premium seats where you can feel the owner's lively movements right before your eyes.* *The interior is kept as simple as possible, with the desire to make the cuisine the main focus.*

■ The Star: Saga's Treasure "Sagabiyori" Rice, Cooked in a Clay Pot

Our commitment begins with "rice." We use "Sagabiyori," a top-grade product from Saga Prefecture, directly sourced from farmers with whom the owner has deep ties. It is characterized by large grains, elasticity, and a rich sweetness.

*Saga's Treasure: "Sagabiyori"*

■ The rice is carefully cooked in an "Iga Donabe" rice cooker, a clay pot from Haseen, a prestigious Iga-ware kiln.

The steam rising from the clay pot, the aroma of dashi, and the serene atmosphere. We offer a "Kyoto morning" to be savored with all five senses.

*Clay pot rice carefully cooked for each individual.*

■ Regarding the clay pots, each guest can choose their preferred seasoned clay pot rice, and the freshly cooked seasoned clay pot rice, carefully prepared for each individual after receiving the order, will be served.

Please enjoy the value of a traditional Japanese seasoned clay pot rice breakfast experience.
Any leftover rice can be taken home as onigiri (rice balls) gently shaped by the owner.

■ Carefully Selected "Once-in-a-Lifetime Encounter" Ingredients

Adding color to the clay pot rice are seasonal ingredients carefully selected by connoisseurs nationwide and the owner's discerning eye.

• Seasonal Fish and Obanzai: A handful of seasonal fish arriving from all over the country are used as obanzai (Kyoto-style side dishes) and ingredients for the clay pot.

• Kyoto Vegetables from Traditional Farming Methods: Seasonal vegetables with rich umami are sourced mainly from Higuchi Farm in Takagamine, Kyoto.

• Free-Range Eggs from Nantan, Kyoto: The "dashimaki" (rolled omelet) made with these rich, flavorful free-range eggs is exquisite.

• Koi Tofu: As its name suggests ("Koi" meaning love), it is characterized by a rich and deep flavor that makes you fall in love after one bite.

• Dashi: Based on first-brew dashi from Rishiri kelp and bonito flakes, the umami is varied for each ingredient.

*Carefully selected seafood.* *A selection of seasonal vegetables for each season.*
