Hachikian Marutamachi, a long-established chicken cuisine restaurant in Kyoto's Sakyo Ward, is launching spring limited menus from March 1. The seasonal menus make the most of Kyoto Red Chicken and Kyoto Duck, combining them with spring vegetables and mountain vegetables such as bamboo shoots, rape blossoms, and kinome (young sansho leaves) in the delicate style of Kyoto cuisine.
Tori Kaiseki (Chicken Kaiseki Course)
From ¥9,900 (tax included) — 3 courses available. Reservation required.
The kaiseki course highlights the rich umami of Kyoto Red Chicken and Kyoto Duck while incorporating seasonal spring ingredients. From appetizers through steamed dishes, grilled dishes, warm dishes, and the final course, each plate expresses the colors and aromas of spring. The mellow depth of Kyoto Red Chicken and the full-bodied flavor of Kyoto Duck, layered with the season's finest produce, create a refined yet multi-dimensional dining experience. This seasonal kaiseki is well suited to formal occasions such as business entertainment or milestone celebrations.
Ohiru no Omakase (Omakase Lunch Course)
¥7,700 (tax included). Reservation required.
The popular lunch course returns in a spring edition. Built around grilled Kyoto Red Chicken and an abundance of spring vegetables and wild mountain vegetables, this daytime kaiseki offers a light yet satisfying experience. The course includes appetizers using Kyoto Red Chicken and spring vegetables, deep-fried mountain vegetables, and small seasonal side dishes — a wide variety of flavors to enjoy in measured portions. The spring-like colors and fragrances make for a vibrant lunchtime setting, suitable for a meal during sightseeing or a relaxed dining gathering.
Koori Gozen (Nine-Partition Set with Clay Pot Rice)
¥5,500 (tax included)
Nine separate compartments are filled with dishes centered on Kyoto Red Chicken and Kyoto Duck, along with colorful spring vegetables and mountain vegetables, offering both visual and culinary enjoyment of the season. Highlights include dressed mountain vegetables, simmered bamboo shoots, and seasonal grilled items — a variety of flavors in small bites. The refined and gentle seasoning brings out the natural taste of each ingredient. This spring limited set is available as a lunch menu and is suitable for meals with friends or family.
