#1 “Kinmata” 7th generation Matahachi
A Japanese side dish textbook carefully taught by a long-established restaurant in Kyoto / Shinsei Publishers
This is a textbook-like book on how to make delicious Japanese side dishes at home, taught by Kinmata, a long-established Kyoto restaurant that also holds cooking classes. There are no difficult steps!
With just a few professional tips, you can make your usual nikujaga (meat and potatoes), chikuzenni (stewed chicken and vegetables), and yam and daikon (buri daikon) taste even better. There are also plenty of pages on how to make osechi (traditional New Year's dishes) that even elementary school students can make. The book provides easy-to-understand explanations of the basics, including how to cut vegetables and fillet fish, with plenty of photos.
Books: "Kinmata" by Matahachi VII and Ukai Jiji
#2 Chikamata main store
History of Chikamata
Founded in 1801, the first owner was from Omi Province and called himself Omiya Matahachi.
The restaurant originally opened as "Omiya" in Rokkaku-sagaru, Fuyacho. At the time, it was a regular lodging for medicine peddlers from Omi Province.
In 1898, the store name was changed from Omi Matahachi to "Chikamata," and in 1902, it moved to its current location at Shijo Gokomachi Agaru.
With a two-story wooden structure, a red-lacquered entrance, a garden with a bamboo fence, and a bath made entirely of cypress with an umbrella ceiling, it is a typical Kyoto townhouse-style building that continues to operate today, more than 200 years later, while still retaining much of its original appearance.
