Kyoto 와쇼쿠 (일본 전통 요리) 레스토랑

It was clear the chef was totally used to running the whole place by himself. I loved how the seasonality showed in everything from the plates to his fun explanations of the food. With a quiet vibe and a lovely view outside, it was just a great place to sit back and enjoy good conversation with the chef and my companion.

Such a great location for a date night in Kyoto. The atmosphere was quiet and cozy, and the chef was super friendly. They’re also very English-friendly, so we had no trouble at all. We got to enjoy some amazing Kyoto cuisine in such a relaxed setting.

First time trying a full-course kaiseki dinner, and wow, it was totally worth it! I was skeptical about kaiseki at first, but my worry was proved completely unfounded. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. We dined throughout the course without any worry, since the chef took really great care of us during the meal. Out of all the dishes, my favorites were the Hamo Clear Soup and the Sea Bream Takikomi Gohan. They were so delicious that I decided to get another serving of the rice (gohan). The chef and staff were friendly, accommodating, the service was also impeccable, moreover the 5th-floor view of the Kamo River was beautiful. Definitely recommended even for first-timer! 😁

The kaiseki course experience was a wholesome one. From how the ingredients were selected, prepared, and then presented to us, everything was totally beautiful and captured the essence of Japanese cuisine. The meals themselves were all of high quality and taste. Everything was so fresh and how they were cooked really highlighted the taste of the ingredients, not heavily seasoned and kept the balance of the flavor. Watching the cooking process live really elevated the meal experience. Tucked away inside a building in the Pontocho alley, it was a perfect meal to have during your stay in Kyoto. A night you won’t be able to forget!

Wij hebben hier een fantastisch diner gegeten. De typisch traditionele Japanse gerechten worden met zeer veel zorg voor jou ogen bereid. Veel uitleg bij wat je eet. De smaken zijn allemaal in harmonie. Alles was lekker en verser dan vers

The best meal we had in Japan. Incredibly well thought-out and perfectly prepared dishes that were balanced and delicious from start to finish. The staff were so accommodating and kind, using google translate to pass on their knowledge and interact with us. A traditional dining experience that I will never forget.

Good food, excellent service.

This was hands down the best meal we have had in our lives. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Kyoto Kaiseki cuisine. The restaurant is family run by a warm and gracious couple, and each course is a piece of art that delights both the eyes and the senses. We left the establishment with our hearts and our bellies full, and would strongly recommend this place to anyone looking for traditional Kyoto Kaiseki food

We had our last meal in Japan at this lovely restaurant in Kyoto. Please note, it’s in a narrow alley tucked behind a building so very hard to find and well worth it. From the moment we walked in we were greeted like family. Each dish was beyond fresh and beautifully presented with local seasonal garnishes. The husband and wife team are engaging and make every effort to describe the dishes in English. The wife had very good English and was very interested to talk with us. The husband, chef, is a Red Sox fan so we enjoyed hearing that. The courses were well balanced between fresh raw fish and cooked plates. I highly recommend this restaurant. Of our 16 dinners it was one of the top picks and the best one to have the night before leaving this beautiful country.

Charming and delightful setting with excellent service and food. We enjoyed traditional Kyoto cuisine in a private tatami room.

We found this restaurant on Google, as it was listed as one of the top Five Omakase restaurants in Kyoto. The quality of food and service stayed true to its rating. The course included a good variety of different dishes, nothing you would expect less from a respected Omakase restaurant. What I want to emphasize is the chill vibe of the place and how friendly the main chef and his wife were. I felt like I was being served by friends, who cared what you liked and would went out of their ways to explain to you the dishes. I highly recommend this place.
