Fujiwara

Excellent Kaiseki meal with several courses of small plates with innovative Kyoto cuisine. The food is outstanding, the Chef is engaging, showed us some of the fish from a book and explained many of the other ingredients. Well priced for the experience. A memorable evening and highly recommended.

This place wasn't easy to find (for me) but I got there eventually and the chef didn't seem to mind that I was about 15 minutes late for my sitting. The food was great. I think it had a Michelin star when I went in 2011 I don't know if it does now. But the best bit of the evening was the people. I w...as sat in between two diners, one a solo female diner with little English, the other the husband of the assistant chef who already had good English and was learning as was Mrs behind the counter. I soon had them bringing out their Encyclopedia of Japanese Ingredients and explaining what all the ingredients of the dishes were :) Good food, good night in a traditional Japanese high end counter restaurant serving set Kaiseki meal.
