Restaurant Japanese authentic restaurant Kyoto cuisine restaurant

👍👍 Every dish is perfect. I have been to many michelin star restaurants in japan and korea, but this is by far the best restaurant. The price is good as well. You can enjoy watching how the owner chef prepares food with great efforts right in front of you. People often mention Kyoto, restaurant, shop, dishes, delicious, nice,

    (Translated by Google) Last year's autumn leaves season was full of reservations, so I visited again for lunch this time. About 5 minutes walk from Gion Shijo. It is a small and calm shop with good access. From appetizers to desserts, the appearance, dishes, and carefully made dishes were very delicious until the end. The owner is also a very nice person. I definitely want to repeat (Original) 昨年の紅葉シーズンは予約がいっぱいでしたので、今回改めてランチに伺いました。祇園四条から歩いて5分くらい。アクセスも良く、こじんまりと落ち着いたお店です。 先付けからデザートまで、見た目、器、丁寧に作られたお料理は、最後までとても美味しく頂けました。店主もとても感じの良い方です。是非またリピートしたい

    Overall: i highly recommend this restaurant and its very talented chef! Dishes: we ve had quite a feast here. The chef showed off different techniques and perfectly combined traditional dishes with european specialities (eg sake pudding as a desert, one of my favorites). The beef was excellent and the fish courses were very special (rare fishes which i hardly knew). The tuna was of highest quality! Ambiente & service: even though the chef and the very kind woman did not speak English (informed us upfront), they did a huge effort to google up dishes and inform us about preparation! Incredible and much appreciated!

    it's a gem hidden behind hanami-koji street. Michelin star restaurant, serves Japanese delicacy. Every meal is design to match with a glass of Champaign, so highly recommend to go with it.

    (Translated by Google) Iwasaki from Gion I visited for lunch. A friendly husband talks to me and I'm in a relaxed mood Great food Grated corn I was taken by the sweetness. The combination of squid, sesame oil and salt is also novel and delicious. It ’s fun, delicious, and it ’s finished in no time. I was very happy to receive rice balls as souvenirs. It's a great shop I want to visit again (Original) 祇園のいわさ起さん ランチで訪れました。 気さくなご主人が話しかけてくれてリラックスムードから八寸 素晴らしいお料理の数々 とうもろこしのすりながしの 甘さに一本取られました。 お造りのイカと胡麻油、塩の組み合わせも斬新で美味しいです 楽しく美味しくあっという間に完食 お土産におにぎりまで頂き大満足でした。 素晴らしいお店です また訪れたいです

    (Translated by Google) After all, the atmosphere and presentation of Japanese food in Kyoto is too nice ✨ This is a Michelin-starred Kyoto restaurant located in a tasteful place a little deeper from Hanamikoji 🤗 Because it is May, the season is expressed and irises And the green of the green leaves and the dishes served on each plate also add color 😊 You can also drink Japanese sake such as small potato clothes, sardines and mackerel sushi on empty beans 😋 And after all sake is Kyoto At Sawaya Matsumoto 🖐🏻 Hono's true soup and cooked homemade sesame tofu fried food was really delicious 👍🏻 Kyoto cuisine that feels the season with originality From sesame rice to hot dessert pudding, the cospa was high and the best 👏🏻 (Original) やっぱり京都の和食は雰囲気もプレゼンテーションも素敵すぎる✨こちらは花見小路から少し奥に入った風情のある場所にあるミシュラン星の京料理店🤗5月だから端午の節句の八寸で季節を表現・菖蒲や青紅葉のグリーンにそれぞれのお皿に盛られた料理も彩りを添えて😊空豆に小芋の衣被や鯛の子と鯖寿司などなど日本酒も飲んじゃうよねー😋そしてやっぱりお酒も京都の澤屋まつもとで🖐🏻蓬の真薯のお吸い物や炊き合わせの自家製胡麻豆腐の揚げ物とかめっちゃ美味しかったなぁ👍🏻独創性もあって季節を感じる京料理・〆の京都柴漬けにシラスと煎り胡麻のご飯にデザートの温かいプリンまでコスパも高く最高でしたぁ👏🏻

👍👍 I went there for the children section and it was very nice. They have a good soft playground for babies/toddlers and my son had a nice time there. In the parents room you can give food, clean and take care of your child, but also weith and measure him. This so convenient.
