While Omen’s entire menu offers a variety of delicious Kyoto-style Japanese dishes, I love to order the shiso rice with soup at the end of a meal. The shiso flavor is subtle but delightful. Instead of miso, I prefer the suimono (clear broth) for soup and, of course, a side of tsukemono (pickled vegetables). The experience is clean and pure but hits the spot, which makes it simply good.
