“Stunning local kaiseki cuisine experience”
Had a lovely experience at this restaurant. We had a private dining room overlooking a small lovely part of a zen garden on tatami floors. We were served a traditional Kyoto kaiseki meal with a New Years menu. Everything was absolutely delicious and the staff if very welcoming and friendly. Would r...ecommend for an escape from hustle and bustle of Gion. It’s within walking distance of a station also.

“Must to have”
So delicious and very traditional, you will experience the best taste of Japanese food. I met a young waiter who could speak English very well, thanks for the compliment.

“Wonderful birthday dinner”
We went to Kyoto in mid October to celebrate my birthday and we picked this restaurant to have our first ever Kaiseki cuisine. The restaurant looks very traditional Japanese style, decorated with bamboo and lots of paintings. We have made the reservation online and didn't expected that the staff gr...eet us at the entrance at the front door. They guided us to the traditional Japanese room to start the dinner. Since we have mentioned that we don't want to have salmon in our dinner, so the server once again confirmed our request. The restaurant provided us written mean in Japanese. Our server is a mid-age experienced kind lady, who explains to us different dish and how to make it and the history of Kaiseki in English. We feel the dinner was so good, of course, still quite pricey, but at least they do everything right to make sure you have got what you are expected. I would come back again to celebrate another memorial date, if we travel to Kyoto again.

“Incredible meal, pricey, but read on for more”
My daughter and I ate here as it was a top recommendation for a traditional kaiseki dinner. My 5 star recommendation is for the food and service. The food was amazing. We were so impressed. Be prepared to pay handsomely, as this is very expensive. Likewise, the service was on par with any Michelin s...tarred restaurant. Because it is so expensive, there are only a couple people there at any time. You sit in a room alone and it is dead silent. The air is likewise, very still.

“Overpriced ”
We had set menu costing JPY 20,000 each and the total bill was over JPY 500,000 for the two of us. This was way overpriced and we will not come here again.
