“Great dining experience”
A wonderful venue with incredibly talented chefs who made the experience engaging as they prepared our meal right in front of us. The standout dish was the tuna sushi with a soy-marinated egg yolk—absolutely unforgettable. Overall, an excellent dining experience!

“Good Kaiseki in central locatio”
A very good meal with some excellent dishes. But the Early Spring menu was more a selection of tasty tidbits than a continuous structured meal. A very warm welcome from the chef and his team. Did I like the food - yes. Was I blown away, no.

“Still top notch and a great deal (2 * Michelin)”
Went to Kikunoi Roan a 2nd time as we had an unforgettable meal the first time in 2015….and it continues to impress! We arrived a bit early as we didn’t want to be late since we were walking but that was no problem with the staff. We were then whisked off to the bar and had a more interactive meal t...alking with the chefs and head chef Yoshiharu Murata. Definitely lunch and a show! And of course the progressive Kaiseki summer menu was so delicate and impeccably done. Definitely the best bang for your buck in central Kyoto too which is a big plus if you’re on limited time. This will always be our special place to eat when in Kyoto.

“Wonderful dining experience.”
What a great experience! First, the staff was just outstanding. The chefs explained all the dishes, and even showed and explained the preparation process for many of the items. We were at the counter so it made talking to them easy, but I also saw them taking large filets of fish to the tables to... explain the process before going behind the counter to cut and prepare the dish. The food was great….from artistic presentation, depth of flavors, and unique textures. Compared to other 2 star restaurants, the price is about what I would expect. Overall it was a great dining experience that will leaving lasting memories!
