A new Michelin two-star kaiseki meal full of seasonal flavors!

11 minutes walk from Gion Shijo Station,
BRONZE AWARD for 100 Famous Japanese Restaurants
Visited "Gion Nishikawa".

I made a reservation on Table Check at 12:00 on a weekday.

When making a reservation, I ordered the lunch kaiseki meal for 12,650 yen.

The store is built in the Sukiya style, with a large cypress counter and a Kyoto-style atmosphere.

We had a fun conversation and enjoyed delicious food right in front of the owner Nishikawa.

The owner's skills brought out the deliciousness of the seasonal ingredients, including Kyoto vegetables, and it was very delicious.

Personally, I really like the seasoning, perhaps because the soup stock has more flavor from kelp than from bonito flakes (maybe I'm wrong?).

It was delicious till the end.

[Today's menu]

① Ingredient sake Haruka liquor
②Appetizer White asparagus grilled
③ Bowl of white sweet sea bream and small turnip
④Salt food Nanaya chicken
⑤ Eight-inch rice octopus/sea roe/young sweetfish/broad beans/warabi surinagashi
⑥ Oily wild vegetable tempura Asari soup with bean paste
⑦Rice: Bamboo shoot rice, pickled vegetables/red soup stock
⑧Sweetness Strawberry/Warabimochi/Ice cream Matcha

Ресторан кайсеки, т.е. блюда определенного типа подаются в определенном порядке, все строго по правилам.
Очень удобная и дружелюбная к иностранцам система бронирования, наверное поэтому большинство посетителей иностранцы.
Приходил на обед. Обслуживание приятное, нет скованности и напряжения, все дружелюбно и свободно, шеф пытался шутить, заводить разговоры.
Еда здесь в традиционном японском стиле, но при этом современная.
Думаю это отличное место начать знакомство с традиционной японской кухней, здесь она не покажется такой непривычной и непонятной, если вы раньше ее не пробовали.
Мне понравились все блюда, но не скажу, что сильно запомнились. Выделю только суши со скумбрией, лучшие, что пробовал в Киото. И очень вкусный рис – я и не думал, что отварной рис может быть так хорош. (Translated by Google) Kaiseki restaurant, i.e. dishes of a certain type are served in a certain order, everything is strictly according to the rules.
The booking system is very convenient and friendly to foreigners, which is probably why most of the visitors are foreigners.
Came for lunch. The service is pleasant, there is no constraint or tension, everything is friendly and free, the chef tried to joke and start conversations.
The food here is traditional Japanese style, yet modern.
I think this is a great place to start getting acquainted with traditional Japanese cuisine; here it won’t seem so unusual and incomprehensible if you haven’t tried it before.
I liked all the dishes, but I won’t say that I remembered them very much. I will only highlight the mackerel sushi, the best I tried in Kyoto. And very tasty rice - I never thought that boiled rice could be so good.

位在祇園一帶，榮獲米其林兩星高評價的懷石料理餐廳。
本次來訪的菜單如下：
- 食前酒：春霞のお酒
- 前菜：ホワイトアスパラガス焼浸し
- 椀物：白甘鯛鯖燒、小燕うくいす菜
- 造里物：七谷地鶏
- 八寸：飯蛸 / 鯛の子、稚鮎 / そら豆
- 燒物：のど黒炭火焼
- 御飯物：筍御飯、香の物 / 赤出汁
- 甘味：梅 / アイスクリーム、御抹茶
餐點皆採用當季新鮮食材，講究以自然、簡約的方式呈現食材本味。調味清淡，但層次豐富，體現懷石料理追求「少即是多」的哲學。雖然每道份量不大，但品項多樣，搭配節奏恰到好處的上菜，整體仍能帶來充足的飽足感與滿足感。
店內禁止使用相機拍照，鼓勵客人專注於餐桌上的每一道料理與當下的氛圍。
用餐空間寬敞寧靜，服務細緻周到，氣氛溫雅靜謐。不過主廚的說明主要以日語進行，若具備一定日語能力並對日本飲食文化較熟悉，想必能有更深入的體會與共鳴。
餐廳採全預約制，未預約無法入座。我是透過Omakase網站提前一個月預約，訂位費¥390很合理，也順利完成訂位與用餐。
以米其林二星水準而言，價格相對親民，午間套餐每人¥12,650，另加清酒一杯¥1,100。不接受刷卡，來訪請務必帶足夠現金。
整體用餐體驗佳，想在京都體驗懷石料理的好選擇。

餐點：★★★★☆
擺盤：★★★★★
份量：★★★★★
環境：★★★★★
服務：★★★★☆
訂位難度：★★★☆☆
性價比：★★★★☆ (Translated by Google) Located in the Gion area, this kaiseki restaurant has been awarded two Michelin stars.
The menu for this visit is as follows:
- Pre-dinner wine: Chunka no Sake
- Appetizer: ホワイトアスパラガス焼溼し
- Bowl: White sweet sea bream and squid, Xiaoyan tuna
- Creation: Seven Valleys
- Eight-inch: rice octopus / taiyako, young catfish / そら beans
- Burnt food: Nono black charcoal grill
- Rice dishes: Bamboo shoot rice, fragrant rice / red juice
- Sweet flavor: plum / agaric, matcha
All meals use fresh seasonal ingredients, and pay attention to presenting the original taste of the ingredients in a natural and simple way. The seasoning is light but rich in layers, reflecting the kaiseki philosophy of pursuing "less is more". Although the portions of each dish are not large, the variety of items and the well-paced serving of dishes can still bring a sufficient sense of fullness and satisfaction overall.
Cameras are prohibited in the store, and guests are encouraged to focus on every dish on the table and the current atmosphere.
The dining space is spacious and quiet, the service is attentive and thoughtful, and the atmosphere is gentle and quiet. However, the chef's explanations are mainly in Japanese. If you have a certain level of Japanese language skills and are familiar with Japanese food culture, you will surely have a deeper understanding and resonance.
The restaurant adopts a reservation system only, and you cannot be seated without a reservation. I made a reservation one month in advance through the Omakase website. The reservation fee of ¥390 was very reasonable, and the reservation and meal were completed smoothly.
Considering its two-star Michelin rating, the price is relatively affordable. The lunch set is ¥12,650 per person, plus a glass of sake for ¥1,100. Cards are not accepted, so be sure to bring enough cash with you when visiting.
The overall dining experience is good, a good choice if you want to experience kaiseki cuisine in Kyoto.

Wir waren zu Mittag Gast im Gion Nishikawa. Wir hatten Plätze an der Theke und konnten so dem Können des Chefs mit eigenen Augen beiwohnen. Herr Nishikawa war sehr charmant und hat fortwährend die Gäste unterhalten, während er das Essen zubereitete. Für uns ein Glanzpunkt unseres Aufenthalts in Kyoto. Vielen Dank! (Translated by Google) We were guests at Gion Nishikawa for lunch. We had seats at the counter and were able to witness the chef's skills with our own eyes. Mr. Nishikawa was very charming and constantly entertained the guests while he prepared the food. For us a highlight of our stay in Kyoto. Thank you!

Chef and staff the best!

Very great people! Came here to celebrate my birthday and The best restaurant in Japan I’ve ate at so far!

料理中规中矩，没什么惊艳有印象的，当然价格也摆在这里，在日本算不上多贵的店家，网络预订也方便。作为初次来日本的朋友，鉴于这家网络预订方便，推荐可作为感受日本料理入门级的选择 (Translated by Google) The food is average, nothing amazing or impressive. Of course, the price is also here. It is not a very expensive restaurant in Japan, and online booking is also convenient. As a friend who comes to Japan for the first time, given the convenience of online booking, I recommend this restaurant as an entry-level choice to experience Japanese cuisine.

Luces y sombras para un restaurante Michelín. Es un restaurante tipo kaiseki cerca de Gion. Se trata de una experiencia gastronómica distinta a la que se suele esperar para un restaurante de esta categoría en Europa. Aquí se ensalza el producto principal y se intenta no “dañarlo” demasiado para que conserve su sabor. En general todos los platos estaban buenos. Sin embargo, es cierto que muchos como la sopa miso o el brote de bambú cocido ya los puedes probar en otros lugares y no ofrecen tanta diferencia (o quizás es mi gusto culinario). El sashimi fue un espectáculo, lo que más nos gustó sin duda. El precio es el que pagaría por un restaurante con esta categoría, aunque haciendo balance con todo lo anterior quizás me resulte excesivo. No dudo de que los criterios de la guía Michelín sean homogéneos, pero considero que en Europa se es más crítico para otorgar estas condecoraciones. (Translated by Google) Lights and shadows for a Michelin restaurant. It is a kaiseki type restaurant near Gion. This is a different gastronomic experience than what is usually expected for a restaurant of this category in Europe. Here the main product is praised and an attempt is made not to “damage” it too much so that it retains its flavor. In general all the dishes were good. However, it is true that many such as miso soup or cooked bamboo shoot can already be tried in other places and they do not offer that much difference (or perhaps it is my culinary taste). The sashimi was a spectacle, what we liked most without a doubt. The price is what I would pay for a restaurant with this category, although taking stock of all the above, it may be excessive. I do not doubt that the criteria of the Michelin guide are homogeneous, but I consider that in Europe they are more critical in granting these decorations.

最初にホワイトアスパラの焼き物とボッタルガがあわせてありました
食べたことのない

First we had grilled white asparagus and bottarga.
I've never eaten it

Nos ha encantado el menú al completo, en particular, el sashimi de bonito estaba increíble. Hemos probado varios sakes recomendados por el chef y han sido un acierto, el mejor sake que hemos probado hasta ahora. El lugar es muy acogedor y está decorado con mucho gusto. La atención por parte del chef, perfecta también. Muchas gracias por tan grata experiencia. (Translated by Google) We loved the entire menu, in particular, the bonito sashimi was incredible. We have tried several sakes recommended by the chef and they have been a success, the best sake we have tried so far. The place is very cozy and tastefully decorated. The attention from the chef was also perfect. Thank you very much for such a pleasant experience.

全て美味しいです。
美味しい、美味しくないは個人差はもちろんあるとは思います。
しかし、ここで美味しくないと感じたら、日本料理は合わない可能性が高いと言い切れるくらいです。
これ以上僕が評価するのもおこがましいので、是非一度行ってみてください。
個人的には鯖の寿司は生涯で一位です。
ご馳走様でした。またお伺いします。

(Translated by Google)
Everything is delicious.
Of course, there are individual differences in whether something is delicious or not.
However, if you don't find it delicious here, I can safely say that Japanese cuisine is probably not a good fit for you.
It would be presumptuous of me to rate it any further, so please give it a try.
Personally, mackerel sushi is the best I've ever had in my life.
Thank you for the meal. I look forward to hearing from you again.

Sat at counter , and all tourists on that seating. Course flow is polished and not too slow or rushed with sake pairing .
Owner chef doesn't speak English thou he tries , quite lively and takes his time to engage with each customer.
Food is too "safe" for me thou he incorporates ingredients like caviar into his appetizers , also had matsuba crab and bear meat from Niigata. Didn't really have a memorable dish.
Price was decent

Amazing!

เป็นครั้งแรกในชีวิตที่ได้ดินร้านอาหาร michelin 2 ดาว แอบมีความคาดหวังค่อนข้างสูง ถึงแม้ว่าจะไปกินเป็นมื้อกลางวันก็ตาม
แต่เชฟ Masayoshi Nishikawa เจ้าของร้านก็ไม่ทำให้ผิดหวัง ทั้งรสชาติอาหาร การจัดการอาหาร และการดูแลลูกค้าอย่างยิ้มแย้มแจ่มใส และพูดคุยเก่งมากๆ (แต่คุยภาษาญี่ปุ่นเป็นส่วนใหญ่) อาหารโดยรวมอร่อยมากถึงมากที่สุด ใช้วิธีการปรุงอาหารแบบญี่ปุ่นดั้งเดิม แต่โดดเด่นด้วยคุณภาพวัตถุดิบที่ยอดเยี่ยม และการปรุงอาหารที่สมบูรณ์แบบ ทำให้ได้รสชาติอาหารญี่ปุ่นแท้ๆแบบเต็มๆ
ที่โดดเด่นที่สุดน่าจะเป็นอาหารประเภทปลาที่ทำออกมาได้อร่อยมากๆ (Translated by Google) This was my first time eating at a Michelin 2-star restaurant. I had high expectations, even though I was there for lunch.
But Chef Masayoshi Nishikawa, the owner, did not disappoint. The taste of the food, the food management, and the friendly and talkative customer service (but mostly in Japanese). The food was extremely delicious. They used traditional Japanese cooking methods, but the quality of the ingredients was outstanding and the perfect cooking gave a full taste of authentic Japanese food.
The most outstanding dish was probably the fish dishes, which were very delicious.

Awesome kaiseki experience. Every fish was delicious. My favorites were the cod roe soup, grilled fish and a bowl of simple white rice (despite the fact that I normally dislike rice).

Ate lunch here, what an experience! It's all about the process, enjoy the moment and details from this experience. Due to the budget and price, I can still feel the chef and staff put a lot of efforts to make the lunch set an enjoyable memory and experience, I asked for just a glass of wine for pairing since it's a casual lunch, I got a 1er cru Chablis to match this light and delicate kaiseiki lunch, which was spot on.
Great experience and memory!

Our favorites were yellowtail ham and toro

お料理はハズレがなく最高でした。
鯖寿司は過去一美味しかったです。
雰囲気もよくとても素敵な時間を過ごせました。
おすすめです。

The food was excellent without being disappointing.
The mackerel sushi was the most delicious ever.
We had a great time and the atmosphere was great.

Great kappo cuisine dining experience. Counter seating is a must. Courses featured fresh ingredients prepared at the counter. Wine pairing was interesting.

久々に京都へ、ランチ‼️
仲良し仲間集まり、ランチへ行ってきました‼️

秋の京都を感じさせてるお料理に器、とても楽しかったです。

I went to Kyoto for the first time in a while and had lunch!! ️
I got together with some good friends and went to lunch! ️
I got so excited about the story that I forgot to take a photo💦
It was a lot of fun to enjoy the dishes and tableware that reminded me of autumn in Kyoto.
Thank you for the meal♪

Dining at Nishikawa was an unforgettable culinary experience! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and an ambiance that perfectly balanced elegance with comfort.

Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The chef’s creativity and attention to detail were evident in every bite, and the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients truly set this dining experience apart. The wine pairings were spot-on, elevating the flavors of each course even further.

The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and the staff’s knowledge of the menu was impressive. They made excellent recommendations and ensured our evening was nothing short of perfect.

Nishikawa deserves every accolade it has received. It’s not just a meal, but a journey through exquisite flavors and fine dining at its best. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly special dining experience!

Nice food , nice chef , nice staff and nice environment!

Amazing experience and food at Chef Nishikawa's restaurant. Each course was great when paired with the sake. Chef Nishikawa spoke to us in English and was very friendly. Also the sous chefs were also very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!

This place is true gastronomic tasting place. The Kaiseki meal set by the chef is truly amazing. Each plate is meticulously prepared and tastes delicious. The platting is visually stunning.
The ambiance is very cozy and the Chef at the counter engages with the customers. Note that photos/videos are not allowed but if only photos of the dishes, Chef said ok.
This places deserves likes 3 ⭐️!

Foods are fine, but english service is quite poor.

My best kaiseki experience in Japan was at Nishikawa. Every single dish was very tasty and nicely presented. On top of that, the chef and other people working there made the entire experience even better, more personal.

Food and service were amazing. The head chef would regularly joke with the staff as well. Highly recommend.

很好吃的板前
一開始主廚非常嚴肅
後來聽到我們是台灣來的變的親切很多
其他助理非常勤快親切
食材的介紹詳細

只是貴了一點

The chef was very serious at first
Later, when I heard that we were from Taiwan, we became much friendlier.
Other assistants are very diligent and kind

Wine pairing is also good
Just a little more expensive
45,000 yen per person, excluding alcohol

料理は、他の方々が絶賛なさっている通り、とても高品質で申し分ありません。
接客もよかったです。
ただ、目の前で大将が新入りに小言を言っているのを見せられたのが少し残念でした。

(Translated by Google)
As other people have praised, the food is of very high quality and perfect.
The customer service was also good.
However, I was a little disappointed that I was shown the general nagging the new recruit right in front of me.

Chef Yoshi Nishikawa and his team have delighted us with delicious food in a great atmosphere for what was a wonderful evening. All the dishes are remarkable in flavour, palette of colours and taste.

The level of excellence you’d expect from a Japanese Michelin Star restaurant. No phones allowed which is nice. A rare moment of presents. Clientele consisted of Japanese businessmen, so you know it’s legit. Staff speaks a fair amount of English which adds to the experience for someone that doesn’t speak Japanese.

Such a memorable experience. Chef travels around Japan in search of best ingredients. Food and service are phenomenal

The only 2-star Michelin restaurant which the chef and all the cooks make us feel so comfortable and intimate.

数年ぶりに訪店。久しぶりに見た店主は疲れきったような様子？途中から現れ、最後にはいなかった。以前来た時は最初から最後までいて、笑顔も当時はあり、見送りもあったのだがコロナ禍あけてきたらなにがあったのか？？変わってしまったような…

味は美味しかったと思いますが。行かない間にこのお店や店主なにがあったのか…先行きが不安になりました。

あと以前はカウンター上に写真禁止の札もなかったですし、外国語のおしながきもなかったです。

(Translated by Google)
Visited the store for the first time in several years. The shopkeeper I haven't seen in a while seems exhausted? He appeared in the middle and wasn't there at the end. When I came here before, I was there from beginning to end, smiling, and seeing people off, but what happened when the coronavirus pandemic started? ? It seems like things have changed...

I think the taste was delicious. I wonder what happened to this shop and its owner while I was gone...I'm worried about the future.

Also, before, there was no sign on the counter prohibiting photos, and there were no instructions in foreign languages.

A seasonal kaiseki meal whereby the progression of courses delivers an experience like a warm hug. The environment is cozy and the provided service is rightfully attentive but not overbearing. The dishes are well balanced, nuanced, and beautifully presented, - adorning their autumn attire to fit the seasonal theme.

There were several dishes where we tried a selection of mushrooms that we had never experienced before, which was delightful. The mackerel sushi bite was outstanding and the best iteration we have ever had.

Nishikawa is undoubtedly deserving of its accolades and its two Michelin stars.

大将がおもしろいです。
もちろん料理は抜群に美味しいです！

The chef is very interesting and the food is delicious!

Delicious fresh food prepared and presented beautifully. The sake pairing was also lovely. We sat at the counter and Chef Nishikawa and the other chefs were very welcoming. They took time to explain the different components and ingredients as best as they could, despite my limited Japanese.

Some Japanese might be helpful for communicating but don’t let it deter you from having a wonderful kaiseki meal. I had a nice time simply enjoying the food and atmosphere.

どうもありがとうございます!!!

The most impressive meal I had in Kyoto!

Food is phenomenal and definitely worth the price. Watch out for the wine/sake pairing though - it was listed as 8800/pp but when we got the check it was 13000pp. When I asked about it they said 8800 was the minimum and the prices went up from. That would have been fine if they had told us ahead of time but unfortunately not the case. Definitely not a deal breaker just something to be aware of if you go to this restaurant. Still highly recommend.

・食前酒(ゆず酒)からスタート

・丹後宮津の鳥貝、キャビア、トマト、ガリ、ポン酢ジュレ

巨大鳥貝はもちろん、ガリとポン酢が、いい仕事してます。

・鱧、冬瓜、ソーメンかぼちゃの葛湯仕立て

やっぱり、京都でいただく鱧は別格です。

・イカソーメン、はだての生うに、生このこ

氷の器でいただきます。マリアージュしてますね。

・鮪、黄身おろし、山葵、茗荷

薬味のバランスが、絶妙です。

・琵琶湖の稚鮎炭焼、お粥で割った蓼酢

じっくり炭火で一時間、火を通した稚鮎、「焼き」と「揚げ」のいいとこ取り、これは美味しいやつです。

・八寸(泉州産渡り蟹、じゅんさい、もづく、鯖鮨、唐墨、　　　　麩、湯葉)

全体的に優しい味付けです。

・鮪握り鮨

マグロ握りは、世界一のアイコンですね。

・鳥貝焼き物

絶妙な火の通し方もあって、歯が良く通る感じでとても美味しいです。

・のど黒酒蒸し

花山椒とレモンが、いいアクセントです。

・ご飯(八代目儀兵衛の米、和牛すき焼き等)
肉は無しかと思っていたらここですき焼き、濃厚な卵黄等最後まで満足です。
そして八代目義兵衛の米、炊き方なのか米なのか、とても美味しい。

・デザート(ようかん、夕張メロン、さとうにしき等々)

・小山園の抹茶

・金平糖

全体的に優しい味付けで、お酒ありきの料理ではない感じですね。

日本酒より、軽めの辛口シャンパーニュが、合いそうなお料理です。

にしかわさんは、一見強面ですが、接客も見事です。

(Translated by Google)
・Start with an aperitif (yuzu sake)

・Tango Miyazu chicken shellfish, caviar, tomato, gari, ponzu jelly

The giant chicken shellfish, as well as the gari and ponzu sauce, do a good job.

・Conger eel, winter melon, and somen pumpkin served in kudzu sauce

After all, the conger conger eaten in Kyoto is something special.

・Squid somen, raw raw sea urchin, raw sea urchin

Served in an ice bowl. We're doing a marriage.

・Tuna, grated yolk, wasabi, ginger

The balance of seasonings is exquisite.

・Charcoal-grilled young sweetfish from Lake Biwa, vinegar mixed with rice porridge

This is a delicious young sweetfish that has been carefully cooked over charcoal for an hour, and combines the best of both ``grilled'' and ``fried.''

・Hassun (migratory crab from Senshu, junsai, mozuku, mackerel sushi, Chinese ink, wheat gluten, yuba)

It has a mild flavor overall.

・Tuna nigiri sushi

Tuna nigiri is the number one icon in the world.

・Tori shell pottery

There is also an exquisite way of cooking it, so it tastes like it goes through your teeth well and is very delicious.

・Steamed black sake

Japanese pepper and lemon are nice accents.

・Rice (Yachidaime Gihei rice, Wagyu beef sukiyaki, etc.)
I thought there would be no meat, but here I was satisfied with the sukiyaki and the rich egg yolk.
And, whether it's the way they cook it or the rice, Hachidaime Gihei's rice is very delicious.

・Dessert (yokan, Yubari melon, sugar bean paste, etc.)

・Matcha from Koyamaen

・konpeito

The overall flavor is gentle, and it doesn't feel like a dish that relies on alcohol.

This dish seems to go well with a light, dry champagne rather than sake.

Mr. Nishikawa may look tough at first glance, but his customer service is also excellent.

Had a lunch service, bar none one of the best meals I’ve ever had. After further traveling in Japan .. if you’re going to do a Kaiseki style meal .. pay up and enjoy the best of the best. Every detail was perfect. The meal was amazing , the staff are true professionals, the room is beautiful. 100% worth every penny.

Outstanding kaiseki restaurant. We had a wonderful time at this 2 Michelin star restaurant. Chef Nishikawa was there for our entire meal, very friendly and took a photo with us after. Good quality ingredients, phenomenal presentation, taste and flavor. Highly recommend - worth the price

This is a restaurant in Gion that has been awarded a star in the Michelin Guide, right next to Yasaka Shrine.
Everyone who asked about the food said it was delicious. lol

Kyoto's famous conger eel, Manganji chili pepper's famous mullet sushi, pressed mackerel sushi, uzaku, etc.
I can't write it all down.

I was able to enjoy the uniqueness of Kyoto while eating while admiring the Japanese garden.

Thank you for the meal.

The best food we have had in Japan. Delicious. The chef, Mr. Masayoshi, is anmazing and the most welcoming of chefs. The atmosphere was cozy and everyone that worked there was nice and engaging.

After being to Jiro's sushi in Tokyo and receiving the worst treatment ever, we really have come to appreciate the much better restaurants, like Gion Nishikawa, which we will for sure return to.

This was my first time using a private room, and the layout of the room and the courtyard were good.
The food is delicious not only in taste but also in appearance, making it perfect for entertaining.

ランチをいただきました。個室でゆっくり京料理。とても美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google)
We had lunch. Enjoy Kyoto cuisine in a private room. It was very delicious.

Some of the best fine dining I’ve had. The lunch was a bit less than two hours and it’s best to arrive on time. Give some time to find the place as it’s tucked at the end of a corridor.

The food was incredible! Each dish was elegantly put together. The wait staff were extremely friendly. The presentation was nothing to write home about, and there weren’t any dishes that pushed my comfort zone. But it was very high quality food nonetheless. The highlights for me was the dessert and the wagyu beef course.

Overall would definitely recommend as an intro to fine dining.

One of the more resonably priced 2 michelin star restaurant in Kyoto

Overall:
- Great selection of ingredients
- The portion was generous - you will leave feeling full
- The sake and wine pairing was nicely curated (nichi nichi sake was my favorite)
- The warabi mochi was delicious

What's missing:
- There were crab shells in our dishes
- I had a fish scale one of my dish =(
- Drinks pairing was not serve at the right time
- Some dishes could be more refine and delicate

祇園の名店。
値段はそれなりだけどとても美味しい和食屋さん。
祇園の高級和食と聞くと、怖いとかイメージあるかもですが、ここのお店は大将も気さくで本当に居心地最高です。
オススメです！
