日本 日本酒 レストラン ダイニング

Wow. I cannot give enough superlatives to the wonderful wagyu beef,dining experience. Our guide showed us Kyoto nighttime sites after the dinner. What a plus!!!! You need to book this.

This was an amazing experience. Hiroshi and I communicated several times via Whatsapp after I booked the experience to confirm various details and plan something special for my husband's birthday. The entire night far exceeded my expectations. The wagyu dinner was fabulous. We were in a private room at a takiniku restaurant near the meeting point. We had a variety of beef cuts, rice, and vegetables, and Hiroshi expertly prepared everything on the grill right in front of us while telling us about the different cuts and how Japanese beef is categorized. As a surprise for my husband, we even bought a beautiful cholocate dessert to bring out at the end of the meal. After dinner, Hiroshi took us on a walking tour of Gion and took dozens of photos of us at the temples and shrines and other photogenic spots around the neighborhood. He also told us about the history of Gion and it's specific customs. The tour went well beyond the brief tour mentioned in the description and was one of the highlights of our visit to Kyoto. Hiroshi is a fantastic tour guide, an engaging host, and did an amazing job of making my husband's birthday extra special.

The sommelier’s deep knowledge of ingredients and sourcing was impressive. Every dish told a story about Shizuoka’s environment and producers. The focus on sustainability and health made the experience feel modern and meaningful. Flavors were varied and never boring. Highly recommended for travelers who care about where their food comes from.

A thoughtfully designed course highlighting Shizuoka’s ingredients and sustainability. Each dish felt balanced, healthy, and clearly rooted in local sourcing. I loved that both alcoholic and non-alcoholic pairings were equally creative and well-matched. The service was kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. This truly felt like the ultimate Shizuoka dining experience.

The tasting was great and very informative. We learned all the basics while tasting many different styles of Sake. Julian was the best of hosts and a very knowledgeable teacher. The snacks were great and he was able to adapt to my wife’s gluten intolerance. We definitely recommend.

Hiro was a great guide and besides taking us to some wonderful food places, also gave us a quick and thorough trip through Gion. Great communication and worth the time. Certainly would have him take us to other places you'd miss as a tourist.

Our guide Hiro was perfect! Really good beef and really nice tour of Gion. I would do it again :)

What a lovely experience! Soshin-san was so welcoming and hosted a wonderful private tea ceremony for my friend and I. She went through the process twice allowing us to familiarize ourselves, and then gave us multiple opportunities to make our own matcha. Soshin-san was always friendly and spoke English well to guide us. It was a delightful time and we got good photos and delicious tea. I would definitely recommend booking this experience!
