They have been in business
at the same location under the same name for 20 years, running
across two generations. Once you step into the restaurant,
you can see the symbolic Japanese color, “deep red,”
everywhere. The accessories in the store—the re d
kara umbrella, chouchin (Japanese lantern), wadako (Japanese
kite), and the various Kyoto photographs on the wall—make
you think of Japan’s beautiful capital, Kyoto.
Their menu item names are based on Kyoto
locations too, such as Sagano and Daikakuji, which make
ordering fun. Another great characteristic about this store
is the various Japanese sweets they have available.
There are traditional anmitsu in five types,
where you can choose to top with ice cream and shiratama.
They even have zenzai and tokoro-ten. Also on the menu are
fruit parfait and cream soda, which you can enjoy after
a meal or even after some shopping to relieve your tired
body.
Hanaichimonme’s recommended menu
item is the spicy chanpon. Known for its stimulating spiciness,
it is loaded with ingredients such as shrimp, squid, clams,
pork, tons of vegetables, and kikurage.
