The Gion branch of Yamakishi, where each affiliate has its own unique character, offers a sumptuous lunch that includes appetizers, boxed sushi, udon, and dessert. Among the udon dishes available from several menus, one that should not be missed is the Kujo Negi and Kitsune Udon (1,800 yen), which is made with a simple broth. In the fall, be sure to try the Matsutake mushroom udon for 5,000 yen, with its fragrant aroma of matsutake mushrooms.
