“The reasons it's not just "terrible":”
Service is barely decent. Of course it's not personal. Individually they are ultra nice and kind, and this is obviously why it does not get a "terrible" review. But there is obviously poor training and insufficient staff. Cold dishes are a notch down from ordinary, on the level of sushi chain in a w...estern restaurant. "Kobe beef" sukiyaki is pre-prepared on the "DIY" style, just a broth and thin slivers of beef, much closer to a shabu-shabu than a sukiyaki. Overpriced and underwhelming. Positive reviews tell us more about the quality reviewers are used to.

“Always great ”
I've eaten here a few times on previous trips to Kyoto, and it never disappoints. Firstly it's nice that the lady staff are in kimono. That always makes me happy! I've sat at the counter and had sushi a few times, but this time, I had the sashimi and tempura set. My husband had the sushi set menu. I...t was all very good, tasty and generous portions. Good value, too. We will eat here again the next time we're in Kyoto.

“Disappointed with cold bland dishes.”
Went here as a party on tour of Japan. Our Japanese guild was excited about us going to dine here and said we were very fortunate to do so after it being closed for 3 years due to pandemic. The dining rooms are very nice. The trio of raw fish starter were nice with the wasabi to add some heat. Apar...t from the tofu bubbling away in a thin white sauce everything else was cold and bland. We were later served with a hot broth with rice and cold cabbage. The dessert had no discernible flavour. The drinks carry a 10% service charge not mentioned on the price list. Not somewhere I would recommend.

“disappointing visit despite high reviews”
charging overrated prices for kiseki menu, had apples and tofu sauce, lots of items that were not worth the price. 12000 yen per person for 3 pieces of beef, quality not even up to standard of it's price

“Great Overall Restaurant!”
Great restaurant - a mix of futuristic and traditional delicious Japanese food! We came here for lunch, and expect to spend maybe 100-110 yen for four people. We came here with two adults and two kids and kids menu dishes were definitely great, I don’t remember exactly what the kids got but it coste...d 1600 yen and gave a remarkable amount of food. One hot pot dish was also great, and I would definitely recommend coming here if you are in Kyoto!
