Hyotei is a prestigious kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto and the only three-star Michelin restaurant famous for its morning meals (that is, breakfast). There is no menu in the store, only porridge set meals are provided. The most famous one is their boiled eggs. Don’t underestimate this egg. After eating it, you will know what it means to reach the top. I have to say that the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship is really admirable. Drink a glass of plum water before eating. The sour taste will wake up the dull taste buds in the morning and prepare you for delicious food.
The appetizers were served first, but the highlight was the "Laoting Egg"! !
In short, it is so tender that it is like drinking eggs. There is a little soy sauce dripping in the egg yolk, and the salty taste better brings out the freshness of the eggs, and can also cover up the fishy smell (but Japanese eggs don’t have any fishy smell in nature)
The side dishes are also exquisite It's delicious, the top left is sesame sauce mixed with shredded cucumber, which is just average; the top right is eggplant, octopus feet, and gluten. The eggplant is watery, and the sauce on it is a bit like a mixture of egg yolk and sweet soy sauce. It has a salty egg yolk texture, which is particularly delicious. The bran gluten is also highly recommended, it is very solid and strong, a bit like the texture of fish tofu (also available in shopping malls) You can buy it); on the lower right is fish cooked in clear soup, which is very delicious and has a light taste that is very comfortable.
The main course is next, yes, it’s white porridge. Porridge is not a novelty, it just relies on the good quality of Japanese rice, so it is thick and fragrant. But the sauce that goes with it is special! I asked the clerk specifically and found out that this is made with rice soup, soy sauce and salt. It is translucent and silky, fresh and salty, and tastes like fish. It is really amazing.
There is also a bowl of tofu soup. Kyoto’s tofu is super famous, so tofu appears in almost every meal. Fortunately, it's really delicious and you won't get tired of it every time you eat it.
Hyotei has a main building and an annex. I made a reservation at the main building, but the main hotel did not accept single reservations, so I was moved to the annex, but the items were the same. This set of breakfast only costs 4,500 yen (6,000 for the hotel), which is really cheap for three Michelin stars. The price/performance ratio is quite high, especially the Hyotei eggs, which will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
