During my stay in Kyoto, I suddenly craved oden and searched on Tabelog.
Among the hits, I had already visited several places, but I decided to try somewhere new and ended up at "Suzuchou."
According to Tabelog, "Opened in October 2023 in the Gion area, famous for its ginger gyoza and Kanto-style oden, along with a variety of dishes that pair well with alcohol."
Gyoza and oden are their specialties. Sounds great!

The location is roughly halfway between Gion Shijo Station and Sanjo Station on the Keihan Main Line (both about a 5-minute walk).
It's situated in a basement along Nawa-te Street, slightly away from the hustle and bustle of the shopping district.

I descended the stairs and entered just as they opened at 6 PM.
The interior is small, featuring a U-shaped counter that can seat about 11-12 people, along with two semi-private table seats.
In the center of the counter, a large oden pot is steaming. It looks delicious! Next to it, a round pot is ready with simmered beef tendon. That looks good too.

"Please take a seat wherever you like," I was told, and I hesitated for a moment.
The arena seat directly in front of the oden pot looked nice, but I thought it might feel cramped if customers sat on both sides, so I chose the farthest seat at the counter.
Ordering is done via a QR code on the table, so I recommend ordering one dish at a time since the food is served relatively quickly.

After ordering the "Yamitsuki Cucumber" (no photo), the oden and beef tendon arrived first.
The oden, a signature dish, is not a set assortment but rather ordered a la carte. I selected daikon, egg, chikuwa, tofu, and a bag of green onion and ginger. Each ingredient is well infused with the broth and delicious.
The broth combines seafood dashi made from bonito flakes and kombu kelp with the beef tendon simmering broth.
Although it's labeled "Kanto-style," as a true Tokyoite, I found it to have the refined taste characteristic of Kyoto-style oden.
On the other hand, the simmered beef tendon is sweet and savory, with tender meat and flavorful daikon. Personally, I preferred this over the oden.

The other specialty, ginger gyoza, is small and light.
The ginger adds just a hint of flavor; honestly, it lacks a strong impact.

The menu also offers gyoza with garlic, and after deliberating between that and yakisoba for the final dish, I chose the latter.
You can choose additional ingredients like pork and squid, so I opted for both.
The noodles are firm with a nice bite, and the sauce has a hint of sweetness with a slight spiciness.
Everything comes together beautifully, sliding down my throat with ease!
This dish truly deserves to be the grand finale.

By the way, I only noticed the fried rice on the menu after I had polished off the yakisoba.
