“Unpleasant experience”
I was very disappointed with my experience at Ryotei Sagano in Fukuoka. Despite confirming seat availability, the restaurant repeatedly refused my reservation when I called directly, only accepting it after a Japanese relative intervened. The explanations given were inconsistent, and when I later ca...ncelled, staff were dismissive and refused to connect me with a manager. For a Michelin-starred restaurant, this lack of transparency and hospitality was shocking. I felt unwelcome and humiliated, and I cannot recommend this establishment to international diners seeking fair and respectful service.

Very quiet and cozy place. The menu is well-thought with a balance of ingredients reflecting local specialties. Fugo is delicious. Great service.👍👍👍

“ Below average”
Service is good but all the dishes come so fast. We asked them to slow down but the waitress keep asking us whether they can serve the next dish. Price vs quality is horrible. They served plain rice with pickles. This is the first Kaiseki restaurant that served plain rice rather than rice with e...el, fish or ikura. Not worth any star. Can skip.

“The Food like an art piece”
Make reservation of this restaurant is a bit complicated, as we have to book thru the hotel if you cannot speak Japanese. But we would like to share that the dinner is go good, the sake is very good, too. Each dish of dinner is like an art piece with very decent decoration. The sashimi is really fre...sh and everything are so good! We are go full at the end and it is great to let us walk back to our office ... If possible, i prefer to have a private room as currently, we are having a share room which is a bit crowded.

“Rather good food, unfortunately wasn't what we expected”
With 3 michelin stars, we thought we'd go for the best they had to offer. We picked the most expensive option, 25000JPY omakase per person. For that we had 8 dishes, including rice and miso soup, and the best course -jelly in a mandarin orange with a big bump unique to Japan. Some food was quite exq...uisite. And there was puffer fish sashimi. Very good service. But really, 3 star is more than one too many.
