Bib Gourmand has appeared in every edition of the MICHELIN Guide and is loved across the world. If you are seeking a dining experience offering incredible satisfaction for the price, why not savour the offerings of a Bib Gourmand restaurant?
Let's take a look at the nine establishments that made their first appearance in the MICHELIN Guide Kyoto Osaka 2025.
Kombu to Men Kiichi, Kyoto
Ramen
This restaurant was opened by a kelp shop with a loyal clientele in Nishijin. The “Kombu Ramen” is unusual in that no sauce is used in the soup. Every drop of umami is teased from the kombu, to heighten the lingering memory of its flavour.
Saryo Tesshin, Kyoto
Soba
Saryo Tesshin stakes its reputation on its creative soba, and indeed the ‘Daigo Soba’ is renowned. The soba is slathered in a snowfall of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, in imitation of ‘daigo’, an early form of cheese.
Chikuyuan Taro no Atsumori, Kyoto
Soba
Don’t pass up the “Atsumori-soba”, soba boiled fresh and served hot from the pot. When ground with its husk, buckwheat acquires a dark brown cast and mysterious flavour.
Komedokoro Inamoto, Kyoto
Izakaya
The proprietor loves rice, so he named his establishment ‘Komedokoro’, meaning ‘place of rice’. Taste the freshly cooked white rice and you’ll understand why it’s so famous. Dishes are served on small plates, encouraging you to try a variety of items.
Tenboshi, Osaka
Tempura
Born in Amakusa, the chef gets many ingredients from his native Kumamoto, as well as other parts of Kyushu. Tempura, fried in a blended of fresh-pressed sesame and cottonseed oils, is light and airy.
PRESTAU, Osaka
Italian
The concept is a ‘restaurant that touches the heartstrings’, and PRESTAU aims to do just that. Preparing each item to its best advantage is the chef's top priority.
Ueroku wine, Osaka
Spanish
A Spanish restaurant by Bordeaux vintner Leo Shinohara. The chef parlays Japan’s unique seafood into cuisine with a distinctive character.
Daidokoro Kamiya, Osaka
Izakaya
Ingredients gathered from every corner of Japan are supplemented with items from overseas, such as Australian lamb.
Kyomachibori Nakamura, Osaka
Tonkatsu
A wide range of cuts, including tenderloin, shoulder and ham, are served by the slice. Multiple brands of pork loin are on offer, so you can compare the texture of the meat and how the fat melts in the mouth.
