    (Translated by Google) I had an evening course. Each item was hand-crafted, and all were excellent. I was particularly impressed with the specialty shark fin and sesame tofu pot. The dessert was also elaborate, and it was truly amazing! ️ It was a course in which the tradition of Kyoto cuisine and the challenge of new things were in perfect harmony. (Original) 夜のコースをいただきました。一品一品、手が掛かっていて、どれも絶品でした。特にスペシャリテのフカヒレと胡麻豆腐のお鍋には感動を覚えました。デザートも手がこんでいて、さすがでした‼️ 京料理の伝統と、新しいものへの挑戦が見事に調和したコースでした。

    (Translated by Google) Located within walking distance from Shijo Karasuma (Shinmachi Bukkoji Temple), this is a catered restaurant that has been in business for three generations and has a good reputation for its taste. It's a splendid restaurant, but it's not as formal as the landlady's three-fingered greeting, but it's also not casual. Recently, reservations can also be made from Ikyu.com. There is considerable depth, and the capacity from large and small private rooms to halls is considered to be the largest in this area. The food is good, but the tableware is also good, so it is also recommended for those who like Japanese tableware. I think it would be better to make a reservation directly by phone than to make a reservation from Ikyu.com. (Original) 四条烏丸から徒歩圏内(新町仏光寺下がる)にある三代続く元は仕出しのお店で味には定評があります。 立派な店構えですが、女将が三つ指で出迎えるような堅苦しさはなく、かと言ってカジュアルなこともなく、ちょっといい昼食から各種宴席、仕出しまでこなされています。最近は一休.comからも予約可能になりました。 かなりの奥行きがあり、大小個室から広間までキャパはこの付近では最大と思われます。 料理も良いのですが器も良いので、和食器が好きなかたにもお薦めです。 一休.comからの予約より、少し緊張しますが電話で直接予約されたほうがよいかと思います。

    Best meal I've ever had in Japan. Service was amazing and food is top notch. I will go again in a heartbeat. We got the keiseki meal for about $150usd per person. Involved many courses. Their menu changes often but you can always expect food to be fresh and plated beautiful. We had a private room for four. Everything was perfect. It's a must have experience in japan

    (Translated by Google) Lunch seat total 8000 yen As expected of a famous store. It's not just a thing from the appearance. Both dishes are delicious with dashi soup. The simmered dishes bring out the flavor of the ingredients, giving you a taste of autumn. Satisfied with tempura. The six kinds of desserts in the last small box will be unbearable for women. The view from the window on the second floor is good, and the food is reasonably priced but satisfying enough. I want to come at night too. (Original) 昼の席 総額8000円 さすがの銘店。佇まいからしてただモノでは無い。 いずれの料理も出汁が効いてて美味い。煮物 は素材の旨さをよく出していて秋を感じられる。天ぷらもあって満足できる。最後の小箱に入った六種類のデザートは女性には堪らないだろう。 二階の窓から見える景色もよく、料理は値段相応だけど十分満足できるお店。 夜も来たい。

    The atmosphere inside and outside of the store is very nice. Even though it's located in the middle of Kyoto, the view from the window is very nice. I was surprised at how spacious the space was once I entered the front door. This time I had a table seat in a tatami room. The dashi soup tastes good. This feels like Kyoto cuisine. There were many new dishes and they were all very delicious. It was delicious no matter what I had it with, but I think there was a little too much soup-based sauce. If there is an opportunity I would like to visit you again

    Michelin quality food and set menu. Every dish was unforgettable and unique. Adheres to seasonal foods and Kaiseki menu. The waitresses all wear kimono provide excellent service with fantastic food!

    (Translated by Google) It was the best food and hospitality! I had you send it as a birthday party. Starting from the traditional entrance, we were guided to a private room. It was a clean room full of kindness, where you can feel the Japanese atmosphere of Kyoto. All the dishes were enjoyable because the chef's feelings were conveyed. I was excited about what kind of food I would like to have next. If you have the opportunity, I would like to hear from you. (Original) 最高のお料理とおもてなしでした! お誕生日会として寄せて頂きました。 伝統ある入口からはじまり、個室に案内されました。京都の和が感じられ、やさしさ溢れ清潔感のあるお部屋でした。どのお料理も料理長の想いが伝わり楽しくいただくことができました。次はどんなお料理がいただけるのかとワクワクもいたしました。 また機会があれば寄せて頂きたく思います。

    (Translated by Google) Best hospitality and food. Every dish was delicately made, and it was fun to eat each bite. For sake, choose cold sake from Kyoto. It has a refreshing taste and goes well with a meal with a strong dashi stock. And I was surprised and happy that there were 6 kinds of desserts! [Lunch Kaiseki] 6600 yen, 11000 yen Weekdays 12:00-14:30 (excluding weekends and holidays) It was a pity that there was no atmosphere because each group sat at a round table in the banquet hall, probably due to corona measures. Other than that, I am very satisfied. (Original) 最高のおもてなしとお料理。 どのお料理も繊細なつくりで、食べていて一口一口が楽しかったです。 お酒は、京都の冷酒をチョイス。 口当たりがすっきりとしており、お出汁の効いた食事にとても合いました。 そして、デザートが6種類もあったことに驚きと嬉しさ! 【お昼の会席】 6600円、11000円 平日12:00~14:30 土日・祝日は除く コロナ対策のためか、宴会場の円卓に1組ずつ座る形だったので、少し雰囲気がなく残念でした。それ以外は大満足です。

    (Translated by Google) As an apology for a certain incident, I received a bottle of Tsukudani from the store on the way home from the dinner party, but there is no expiration date written anywhere. If anyone knows, please give me an answer. (Original) ある出来事の詫びで、食事会の帰りにお店より持たせて頂いた瓶詰めの佃煮のお品ですが、消費期限がどこにも書いてございません。 誰かお分かりの方がおられましたら、アンサー下さいませんか。

    Tried the set menu. The whole process takes two hours. I feel that I am experiencing a great performance, not just having a meal.

    Really good value kaiseki. We got a lot for a set and ended with a fantastic dessert combination. Service was great and everyone gets a private room.

    10/10! Kinobu was a great experience in terms of food, service and atmosphere! The entrance is well located on the map, although the entrance can be a bit hard to find (it does not say «Kinobu» on the front. Check the photos of the entrance. The receiption was amazing as several staff members receive you. A few wearing beautiful kimonos. We got our own private room, which we loved and totally got a superb fine Japanese dining experience. We had the lunch menu and paid a bit more than 20k yen for 4 people (ordering a few drinks as well) .The food is of ingredients of high quality, and comes with timely with the server, whom were polite and very kind. We were lucky to have a few in our group that could speak a bit Japanese. The server did however try her best to explain in English when we could not understand which ingredients the dishes were made of 🙈 The only downside is that it might be a bit difficult to reserve as you have to do it through phone & be lucky to have the recipient to speak a bit of English if you cannot speak Japanese. However, it is not something a little googling «Make a reservation in Japanese» can’t solve! All in all, Kinobu really deserves their Michelin star and I would definitely recommend going here.

    Awesome restaurant, owned by the famous chef Takahashi, the master of umami taste.

  • 4/5 midue l. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Called by a long-established restaurant in Kyoto. Two people facing a large room of 20 tatami mats. Mr. Nakai came and went ... I didn't feel like eating or drinking. I was nervous about this tatami room. I drank a lot but I can't get drunk (laughs) (Original) 京都でも老舗の割烹にお呼ばれ。20畳ほとの広いお部屋に差し向かいで二人。中居さんが数人の出入りで…食べた気も飲んだ気もしないこんな座敷は緊張。かなり飲んだのに酔えない(笑)

    (Translated by Google) I went to the store for the first time ☺️ Great! 👋😃✨ Entertainment, food, etc. This is a wonderful restaurant with "hospitality" ❤️ It's a little expensive. I want you to visit once while you are alive ☺️ (Original) 初めてお店に行きました☺️素晴らしい!👋😃✨接待、お料理等々、これこそ「おもてなし」すてきなお店ですよ❤️ちょっとお値段高めですが。生きているうち一度は訪れて欲しいです☺️
