Wow. We just walked in off the street after visiting Nijo-ji (like we literally typed "restaurants near me" into Google and it sent us here). So we hadn't made a booking, and they sat us at the bar. We were only given the option for a single set menu (people seated at tables were given a greater var...iety of choice it seems)...but...again...wow. It was superb. Beautifully and thoughtfully presented and delicious. Waitress so kind and took time to explain things to us in English, which we were grateful for. I'd go with a booking next time, just to see what else they have in offer but I highly highly recommend this restaurant. It was one of our favorite meals in Japan.

I was taken here when visiting Kyoto again after the pandemic by a friend and colleague who knows the city well and who knew I wanted to dine Kyoto style. We sat at the counter and had the perfect Kyoto dinner - sublime taste, wonderful display, and exactly the kind of friendly yet unobtrusive servi...ce one wants. This was the large Fall menu and it took a long, long time - but what better way to spend an evening? I would especially recommend their self-made, oil-infused (!) soy sauce, of which I took a bottle along. One previous reviews said they do not accept credit cards; they do. The one German hate review, by a one-review reviewer, is safely ignored (too bad those get stuck on tripadvisor); just nonsense.

We are a family of 7 including elderly and teenager. But we all have an excellent dining experience here. Food quality is superb. Delicate Japanese cuisine. Absolutely value for money. Pictures show the basic dinner set. Beef is a la carte not included in the set.
