Yampao

One diner who chose the mackerel rice recalls pairing the rice and flaked fish with miso served on a shiso leaf. It is a combination of savoury fish and miso that may help guide your choice from Yampao’s bento menu. Another reviewer also recommends the mackerel rice, noting that it came with extra rice and a small serving of chilled tofu. Other comments mention chilled tofu alongside the bento, making it an option to consider if you would like something beyond the main dish.

Reviews also mention the regular pork rice, mackerel rice and daily bento. Choose between fish, pork or whatever is on that day’s menu. The bento boxes have been described as available from mobile vendors west of Kyoto City Hall and at Sanjo Higashinotoin, though those locations and offerings reflect the time of the reviews. Takeaway is available, making a bento an option for a meal on the go. For the mackerel rice, the pairing of shiso, miso and rice offers a useful starting point.
