Higashi chayagai
Restaurant Jiyu-ken
Jiyu-ken is a restaurant in Higashi chaya-gai in Higashiyama. Highly recommended – inexpensive and the taste is good.
The restaurant’s speciality is Western-style-Japanese food.
When it comes to western, Westerner might be disappointed, however, this western is different. It is absolutely Japanese food widely eaten in Japan. Can you imagine an omelet with rice?
