Grill Ninjin

Since 1978, Grill Ninjin Restaurant has been serving JapaneseWestern-style meals.

The first owner chef, who is currently cooking in our kitchen, dedicated himself to campus activism and worked for his friend Italian restaurant when he was a college student After he graduated from university, he had worked for 6 years for a famous Japanese Western-style restaurant of long standing in Kyoto.
In 1978, when he was the age of thirty, his father leased a new place to him near Kyoto station, and he opened a new restaurant Grill Ninjin.
Many Manual worker were around there, so we wanted to serve a great deal of delicious Japanese Western-style meals at the reasonable price and quick, and wanted them to enjoy everyday.
It was a kind of remarkable that Tonjiru (miso soup w/pork and vegetables) was at the side of lunch.We worked on developing the menu considering a well-balanced diet day and night.
Many customers came in, so we could send very busy days.
After 6 years passed, we bought a new place and moved to Kitashirakawa Sakyo-ku, northeast area of Kyoto because we liked quieter place to pursue more satisfied dishes.
Over 30 years passed after we moved to current place.
