Quite a bit fancier than Kyoto's extremely casual Pakuchi chain, Baan Rin Naam is located in a stylish little machiya looking out over the Kamogawa River just south of Shijo. The kitchen turns out more then eighty different dishes, with voluminous prix-fixe menu options including special dishes like Thai sukiyaki. Budget around Y3500 for food and drink at night, with most lunch specials priced at Y900-1000.
