01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Served on toasted corn tortillas, tender slow-braised pork paired with homemade salsa gives these tacos an appetizing lightness and a clean, refreshing finish. The cafe's other pillar, chicken curry rice, releases an aromatic blend of custom spices, balancing the savory depth of domestic chicken with an approachable warmth. Both dishes are prepared to order, making it tempting to request tacos and curry together to enjoy their contrasting flavors.
Other savory options include a cheese Napolitan tossed with house-made salsiccia and finished with a generous dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano, alongside hearty toasted sandwiches. The drink list is equally thoughtful, featuring authentic sencha poured through first and second infusions, cardamom shochu highballs, draft beer, and freshly brewed coffee.
Tucked into a side street near Nijo Castle in Kyoto's Nakagyo Ward, Cafe Rhino is an intimate space centered around counter seating. The cafe operates on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 12:00 to 14:00, and is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It is an easy, calm retreat for lunch while exploring the surrounding neighborhood.
