“So disappointed kaiseki dinner ”
So disappointed over the course of kaiseki premium dinner which I pre-payed over 500 USD for 3 persons to make reservation. I think the dinner was not that premium and even excluding fried dish, quintessential course of kaiseki. For sushi dish, only a piece of makeral sushi was offered. I felt I got... ripped off and felt very bad over the dinner.

“Moment to Moment Food Heaven”
Loved every moment, the service, vibe and aesthetics. The harmony of food, service and presentation were all in synch. Would go back as often as possible. Highly recommend the ʻminiʻ kaiseki lunch, which was a lot.

“Not so much a meal as a prayer”
Slip down a body-wide alleyway across from the Starbucks on Gion's high street, open your first anonymous sliding door on your right, and enter into the elegant realm of chef Namba and his very accommodating wife, who will greet you in broken English and, assuming you have a reservation, sit you int...o one of the eight counter seats or sunken private dining area again the back wall, and launch you on one of the most elegant Kaiseki meals you could ever hope for. Every dish is beautifully presented, with lots of original touches. Service impeccable. You leave feeling you haven't eaten so much as prayed. This place is deserving of more than one Michelin stars based on most of the other one starred restaurants I've eaten, but it's probably too small to accommodate everyone who would then come. As it was, they were very kind to slot us in a day in advance so we got very lucky.

“Disappointed”
The service was lovely, but food was not high quality. Four of us were expecting to be wowed, but none of us were.
