Kemichibu Kyoto Main Store is Japan’s first branch of a long-established Korean hot pot restaurant from Busan.

Located just a 7-minute walk from Kyoto Station, the restaurant sits inside a renovated Kyomachiya (traditional Kyoto townhouse) along Shichijo Street—offering a warm and cozy atmosphere that evokes the feeling of stepping into a local restaurant in Busan.

🫕 Try something beyond the usual izakaya—authentic Korean hot pot in a Kyoto townhouse.

Perfect for dinner after sightseeing in Kyoto.

Our signature dish, Nakgopsae, features octopus, beef tripe, and shrimp simmered in a bold, spicy broth made with a secret yangnyeom seasoning—faithfully recreated after extensive staff training in Korea.

You can choose from three levels of spiciness, and the most popular way to finish your meal is by adding rice to the leftover broth, transforming it into a delicious bibimbap-style dish.

In addition to hot pots, we serve a wide selection of side dishes including Korean pancakes (jeon), seasoned vegetables (namul), and grilled tripe.

Enjoy them with our original, additive-free premium draft Makgeolli or Korean soju, both of which pair perfectly with the food.

Mobile ordering and staff explanations are available, so even first-time guests can dine with confidence.

Gather around the pot, and let the conversation flow—perfect for friends, family, and special occasions.
