Everything about this feasting experience was beyond expectations. We had just arrived in Kyoto for our next leg of our trip through Japan and we booked dinner here to start it off with a “bang” and what an intro to Kyoto it was! Upon entry to what was once an old machiya, we were greeted by one of... the team who would be one of our guides through each course of food and beverage pairing. We sat at the bar as if we were in someone’s kitchen to enjoy an intimate, familial dinner. Each course was surprising, unique and prepared with precision, care and such respect of ingredients. The description of each dish and beverage pairing (wine if you chose or some incredible hand crafted non-alcoholic concoction that complemented each dish perfectly) was a story in itself. We moved to the “dining room” for a three-course dessert journey that again blew our senses. The service was impressively fluid as everyone worked harmoniously together. This was an unforgettable experience that we were all grateful to have as a family. Worth every penny.

Went here recently with my family. Was one of the most beautiful and memorable experiences I’ve ever experienced. Would definitely recommend to anyone that loves and appreciates the craftsmanship behind food and the ingredients to create it. Service, chef, atmosphere and the tranquility of the food ...and environment is unreal. Would definitely come back

This was amongst the best meals of my life. I say this having eaten at the French Laundry, Per Se, and Atelier Crenn. It was probably the hands-down best dining experience as you are essentially sitting in the kitchen. And you get to converse with the head chef, Jacob, a very warm individual. It wou...ld be worth coming to Kyoto to only eat here.

Beautiful experience. Elegant presentation and great tastes and smell. Food was perfectly presented and very tasty. The theme was consistent and special. Wine was only a B+ but everything else A+. Top 10 meal in last decade.

This was the best meal! The food, service, attention to detail, literally everything was well thought out and executed perfectly. The staff were friendly whilst professional. Each course was beautifully presented and, more importantly, tasted great. The setting was perfect, the wood oven and the cra...ckling of the fire set an ambiance that suited the meal perfectly. It was great value for money in my opinion and I thought it was sweet that everyone got a parting gift at the end
