“What a guy, what a place, what an experience ”
What a fabulous chef, his warmth, humour, and culinary skills second to none, as if we were guests in his home. As non-Japanese speakers, we were a novelty, but we were made to feel special and part of his culture due to the intimate setting. We will never forget him.

“Wouldn't let me dine because I'm a foreign national "because you look foreign, others will become nervous during corona"”
I speak Japanese and live in Japan. They confirmed they had space in April 2020, but prior to accepting my booking, asked: "are you gaikokujin (foreigner)?" Upon confirming I was, but that I live in Japan, they responded - shockingly - "sorry, but we cannot serve you; due to corona, other customer...s will become nervous and uncomfortable if they see you”. I am a mega foodie and eat at a lot of Michelins and other high end spots (at least once a week), mostly in Tokyo but also throughout Japan; not once have I been turned away because of my nationality, including during the Corona outbreak -- until Sojiki Nakahigashi.

“Lively Kaiseki in Kyoto”
Nakahigashi is a great little Kaiseki restaurant with a very friendly Owner-chef Hisao Nakahigashi, who serves guests personally at the counter with real heart. The cuisine highlights many of the local vegetables as well as seasonal fish, seafood, and meats, and there is extra helpings of the 'cris...py rice' at the end if you feel you need a bit more - served with Malden salt and a homemade sansho oil (the portions may look small but they are very filling). We had some great dishes - the white miso soup was amazing - and the whole meal was an experience. If you're in Kyoto and you want something a bit special -this is a first rate choice.

“Best Ayu and White Rice!”
Always good. Always amazing. It’s very difficult to make a reservation, but it was my lucky day. They got sudden cancellation. In this season, many Japanese restaurants are serving Grilled Ayu, but This Ayu is Best of the Best. They grilled the head parts well done, and body part is still fluffy an...d flavorful. Also don’t miss out their speciality dish. Their specialty is white rice. You will understand how different between their white rice and others. One of best restaurant in Kyoto or Japan.

“Technical excellence - and yummy!!!”
This is a restaurant for ‘Foodies’! Amazing dishes delivered professionally and with great technical excellence. It’s yummy food in any context due to the combination of flavors and delicate preparation. It could be considered expensive if you don’t appreciate the effort that goes into sourcing... amazing local ingredients and preparing them in a manner that honors their heritage. But it’s cheap if you do have some understanding of fresh produce, preparation and cooking to produce an incredible balance of tastes within each course. This is effectively a Japanese degustation and there were a couple of course that my wife and I wouldn’t have ordered a la Carte. But given that we enjoyed everything and the entire meal was well balanced. Don’t miss this restaurant if you’re a Foodie visiting Kyoto for only a few days. But you’ll need to book before you come as this place is almost always booked out.
