Blown away by this amazing find! We were walking along one of the laneways of beautiful Kyoto and came across this hidden gem. Very reasonably priced at 4000 yen for 8 beautiful dishes that were not only delicious and full of flavour but also so...beautifully presented. We were lucky enough to get a table as the restaurant was full. I would recommend to book and get a table at the bar so you can see the chefs in action. We were seated at a table upstairs which was still great!More

we sat at the counter and I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, ambiance and watching the kitchen staff and fellow customers. The food was not always to be my taste but really interesting flavours and presentation and one not to be missed. Reasonably priced for where...we were.More

Have been every time I go to Kyoto, and it's always different, but wonderful. Took my sons too, and it was a highlight of their trip to Japan.

Workspace is oily with little space for staff to move around. Air suction isn’t powerful enough to suck up the odour and fumes from grill section of the kitchen meaning our jacket that was hanged by the wall all stank. Diners are all cramped together...too closely such that it became uncomfortable to eat without rubbing or bumping into the person next to you. To make it worse the person next to me kept leaning over and hitting me. Food wise, plenty of varieties with small plates and plenty of ingredients used, but mostly bland. I think the idea was there before but had been overdone/overthought. For example we were served sashimi that was all chopped into too many small pieces. No that is not how you innovate. Some things are not meant to be! Chef prepared food with his bare hand, then answered the phone pressing the buttons to answer and then continued handling the food without washing hands.More

A thoroughly enjoyable experience! The atmosphere is nothing to write home about, it's not so spacious: I kept bumping elbows with the guy beside me (when seated at the counter/bar) but I was there for the food! Little dishes of interesting and tasty food were...rolled out by an efficient assembly line of 3 cooks when I went (early December, 2019). I was told the main ingredients of each dish (in English) and really enjoyed it! Sorry, I didn't count how many dishes there were but it was around 8-10, including a dessert. Most of the diners were foreigners (so what?) and I think everyone enjoyed it. There's no menu (of course!), and it seems there is a 5:30 and 8:00 sitting. It is probably a good idea to make a reservation. Bit hard to find, but just ask people when you are in the vicinity.More

This restaurant is perfect if you want to experience kaiseki (japanese haute cuisine) in a totally relaxed, joung and edgy environment. The food is amazing, the staff and the cooks are friendly, inviting and entertaining. I can recommend this restaurant to everyone visiting kyoto. Tipp:...Reserve in advance!More
