The specialty dish of Kyoto, Imobo

Imobo is a dish made from yam (ebi-imo) simmered with dried cod (bodara).
It is a Kyoto specialty that has been popular for a long time.

A traditional flavor that has been passed down for over 300 years

Our unique techniques and flavors are handed down exclusively to our successors through the Isshi Soden tradition, where only one child inherits the skills.
Enjoy our meticulously prepared dishes that cannot be imitated elsewhere.
(In June, please savor our "Seiryo Gozen" and from July to September, our signature "Maruyama Bento" at Kyoto Cuisine Isobe.
