“A hidden gem in the charming alleys of Pontocho.”
We found a gem tucked away in Pinto ho Alley, Gion. The food was absolutely delicious, and the whole experience felt so personal—at one point, they even called us up to watch the chef cook our steak with a burst of flame right in front of us. The tongue meat was tender and flavorful—it practically m...elted on the palate. We’re so glad we chose this restaurant; it did not disappoint. Everything was perfect. The staff were all friendly, and the chef was incredibly approachable and hands-on. Highly recommended! We even got a photo with him.

“A gem in the basement of Gino in Pontocho Alley.”
We discovered this hidden gem, and the food is absolutely delicious. What makes the experience truly special is the personal touch—just before the chef starts cooking your meal, they call you over to take a video as they prepare it with an impressive burst of fire, making it feel uniquely tailored t...o you. The tongue steak was exquisitely tender. I was genuinely surprised, as I expected it to be chewy like the one I had in Osaka, but it completely exceeded my expectations. The wagyu beef was another standout—rich, buttery, and melting in your palate with every bite. Highly recommended! The dishes were scrumptious and full of flavor.

“Fantastic Restaurant with stunning food”
We booked this fantastic restaurant whilst in the UK before travelling to Japan and how pleased we were that we booked. We had the 4,800 set meal with an extra dish of beef tongue. It was all superb with a delicious starter of Yuba, a simple by stunning salad preceding the wagyu sirloin which just m...elted in the mouth. We accompanied our meal with the house Red which was beautiful. We are so pleased that we found this small restaurant and are visiting it again tonight for another stunning meal.

“A hidden gem with u paralleled hospitality”
We were absolutely blown away by our experience. The chef kept his restaurant open an hour longer just for us—a gesture that speaks volumes about his dedication. Every bite reflected years of honed expertise, a depth of flavor only possible through decades of passion and practice. Beyond the incred...ible food, his warmth and service made us feel like honored guests rather than just customers. And the moment he personally adjusted the table lighting just so—to make the plating shine? That’s when we knew: this wasn’t just dinner, it was an experience crafted with heart.
