Kikusuiro

Wedding venue

👍👍 We had our dinner in a private room which is much larger than our imagination. The Kaiseki course is awesome however it will be better if the waitress can briefly introduce each dish to people like us, who take Kaiseki as culture rather than just food.

Yoshibei

Katsudon restaurant

👍 Take out Korean Spicy Miso Mayo Katsudon ~ Back Loin ~ (Normal). It was sweet and spicy and the cutlet was soft and delicious. I used to have takuan, but I wonder if it's gone?

Kifune Nakayoshi

Gashutoutou

Kaiseki restaurant

👍👍 It's the first time I've had an online reservation-only lunch, and I've been back several times since then. The online reservation limited lunch was of course good, but it was good to go in without a reservation and eat sukiyaki and hamburger lunch. The photo is the 3000 yen course lunch. They also...
