じき 宮ざわ

Our last night in Japan and the restaurant delivered an exceptional ending to a great 2 week trip. Food, drinks, presentation, service and creativity were top notch and at a reasonable price for a restaurant of this quality. You witness the magic in front of you - adding to the fun and experience.... All the dishes, sauces and ingredients work so well and the sesame tofu dish and soba noodles dish were extraordinarily tasty. Sake pairing was spot on and if we ever end up back on Kyoto - they have a return customer!

I had a difficult time understanding Japanese reservation systems so I used Amex Concierge to book this restaurant. I had to pay in advance through PayPal so I didn't know what to expect. We picked the more expensive option for lunch and the food was very well prepared and good quality. I think if y...ou wish to experience a Michelin starred experience in Kyoto this one fits the bill. There was a mixup with our bill where we thought the green tea was included but ended up getting charged an extra 3000 yen, which isn't a terribly big deal, but something to note.

This restaurant only seats 10 people, so we’re truly honored to have been given the opportunity to dine here. Chef Takatomo Izumi is a highly skilled artisan who wants you to experience every aspect of what you’re about to eat. He prepares and explained every dish as it was set before us in English.... The food was out of this world as was the service. The chef was so very courteous during and after the meal, even helping us with our coats and seeing us off. What an amazing culinary adventure. I highly highly recommend this establishment.

This was a very special meal that only cost $110. Everyone sits at the bar facing the chefs who chat with you as they make your meal. It was delicious fish and tofu. It's best for adventerous eaters as you have things like whitebait that you eat whole.

My daughter and I had booked this restaurant as the highlight of our stay in Kyoto and this Kaiseki fully met all of our expectations. All courses were of the highest quality and a delight. The two dishes that were the absolute highlight for me, was the sesame based tofu and the sea-bass which was c...ooked to perfection and its crisped skin. All courses were well explained and the 8 seats at the counter made it a relaxed and intimate atmosphere
