Kyoto Kaiseki Restaurants

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.

Very nice dinner experience. If you would like to try a japanese Micheline star restaurant in Gion, Kyoto. All ingredients are fresh and excellent service.

The food was sublime. Extremely friendly and caring service from our server. Private and Quiet atmosphere allowing us to immerse ourselves in the traditional Gion setting. Definitely worth another visit.

This was my first kaiseki experience, and it did not disappoint. I had a lunch reservation at the counter, which allowed me to observe the chefs assemble each dish with care and precision. Every course was beautifully presented and genuinely delicious. Some of the flavor combinations were unlike anything I had tasted before, making the meal feel special. The portion size for lunch was also surprisingly generous, and I left completely satisfied. The space itself is cozy and intimate, with a traditional feel. There are only 6 counter seats, and you remove your shoes at the entrance, which immediately sets the tone for an authentic and immersive experience. One thing worth noting for non-Japanese speakers: the service is conducted entirely in Japanese. It was not a barrier to enjoying the meal, but it was a shame not being able to ask questions about each dish or fully follow the conversations. Overall, Oryori Hayashi is a must-visit for anyone curious about kaiseki. I would love to return if given the chance — highly recommended!

We had a very enjoyable meal, based on the freshest of products, with subtle and innovative combinations of flavours and textures. It was great to be able to closely watch the chef preparing the dishes behind the counter. I have only one critique: the courses kept coming – I would have preferred a short break between courses to catch my breath and reflect on the food. ;)

Good food, excellent service.

This was such a fun experience! The food was amazing! The atmosphere was perfect. The place is very small so the service is very personalized. One of my favorite dining experiences.

The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable.

Beautifully restored Kyoto townhouse with inner garden. The hanawarabi mochi was an edible artwork: little translucent drops of sweetness with vibrantly coloured flowers inside. Perfect combination with matcha.

Lovely food in a lively atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed the obanzai set: five little dishes of Kytoto preparations with vegetables. The steamed chicken with ponzu was also superb!
