A simple, yet a long time favourite – the ‘Ham roll’
A gentle flavour with a hearty, homemade sauce
Maruki Seipanjo’s ‘Katsu Roll’
The ‘Katsu Roll’ for ¥250 is a harmonious blend of three flavours: a large, savoury fried ham cutlet, cabbage, and a rich, homemade sauce. It’s a taste Kyoto residents are proud of, and it’s surprisingly light!

Kyoto’s melon bread is shaped like a rugby ball
Sasaki Pan Honten’s ‘Melon Bread’
