Before any comment i just say to anyone: TRY IT. Amazing food and combination, high level attention to every detail and to customer’s satisfaction. The personell was all very kind and so enjoyable to talk to, especially chef Motomura and suchef Oguri. This place really completed our already beautiful experience in Kyoto and gave us the best Kaiseki taste possibly requested. The signature dish was really something else.

Traditional Japanese Kaiseki refined to the peak of respect for every ingredient. Each dish pays homage to every component, from the history to harvest and preparation. The menu changes to reflect what nature has to offer and what we have to be grateful for every season. The presentation of every entree whet the appetite and piqued your intellect. The chefs were interactive (English friendly!) and held incredible knowledge of their craft. It felt as if they were welcoming us into their home for, as both a long-time friend and a first-time visitor, with immense hospitality. They were also very accomodating with dietary preferences/restrictions (double check with them first). Thank you for this incredible experience.

Very cozy ambience & the kaizeki servings were plenty focuses mainly on fish. If u r not a fish person this may not be the place to enjoy the food

Very great experience in Kyoto, foods are fabulous and elegant. Lovely Washoku cuisine and modern wine pairing. Willing to come again next time in Kyoto

This place is exceptional! The host is super nice and the atmosphere is great. He even accommodated us and amended the menu for a gluten-free experience. This is the best restaurant I have visited in Kyoto. Highly recommend!

Very ellaborated dishes in an exclusive environment. Sesame Tofu is one of the best dishes I've tasted in Japan. Truly amazing intense flavour and texture, congratulations!!! The day I went was only tourists, no locals.

Delicious, wholesome, honest dishes lovingly prepared with seasonal ingredients. We loved every dish and the dining experience. My personal favourite was the grilled sesame tofu. Chef and the team were also very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful dinner.

To date, the best kaiseki style dinner that ive had. Chef takatamo izumi passes every plate of food personally. Although its a small restaurant, maybe 10 seats, its still around 10 courses x 10 people so thats 100 portions per sitting, yet the chef is passionate enough to pass every dish, backed up by 4 front counter assistants as well with more staff the the hot kitchen to the left. So maybe 7 servers for 10 diners, that is how personal and detailed this experience is. You have to take your time to allow each mouthful to be felt and experienced as they are all so special. So many courses include rice yet they are all do different. At this level of dining i felt that the experience was cheap and would do it agsin when in kyoto. By the way the chef finds all these antique dishes as seen in the pics that are used for service some of which are over 100yrs old, including the macha tea pot. Chef izumi takes a lot of pride in what he does, you see it, feel it and taste it.
