New Restaurant in Kyoto: Experience Freshly Cooked Kamameshi at Kamado KON

This newly opened Japanese restaurant specializes in authentic kamameshi (Japanese iron-pot rice), freshly prepared to order using premium Kyoto rice and carefully selected ingredients. Conveniently located in the heart of Gion, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing meal after exploring Kyoto’s historic streets and temples.

If you’re planning a trip to Kyoto, especially around Gion, Shijo Street, or the world-famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple, make sure to add one unforgettable dining experience to your itinerary: Kamado KON.

Why Kamado KON is Worth Visiting

Unlike pre-cooked rice bowls, every serving at Kamado KON is prepared individually after you order.

The restaurant cooks each pot of rice slowly in a traditional kamado-style pot, allowing the rice to absorb the rich flavors of fresh ingredients while creating a perfectly fluffy texture with a lightly crisp bottom.

Every meal is served hot, fresh, and full of authentic Japanese flavor.
