KOMATSU CUCINA ITALIANA

A very unique experience both in terms of the food, space and atmosphere. It was just the chef working alone in the open kitchen, and 6 clients (us 3 and another 3) on the counter being served directly by the chef each of the course plates. The first few entrees were the best. The pasta is homemade but to be honest was not my favorite texture and flavor wise, but nevertheless it was of great quality. A lot of attention and care was being given to using of local seasonal ingredients, and local Japanese ceramics which were so delighting to eat from. Overall, the flavors and ingredients were VERY Japanese, so more of an Italian cuisine I would say it’s a chef’s interpretating Italian ideas wish Japanese flavors and ingredients. If you love Japanese food and want a unique and intimate experience- go for it! It felt very special.

Truly an exceptional meal and one of our favorites of the two weeks in Japan. The space is cozy and intimate, and the food was excellent. Presentation was also great, was super cool to watch him work so closely. Highly recommend!

Came here on our visit to Kyoto and were blown away by the atmosphere, food and service of this small 10 seat restaurant! The vibe is so warm and welcoming, the food was excellent and paced out perfectly, and the service was incredible. This was one of our favorite meals from our entire Japan trip!

The chef has a creative way of melding flavours The pasta dishes prepared al dente are reminiscent of anything I’ve tried in Italy The tiramisu with chestnuts and ice cream was delicious

We had an amazing time at this wonderful place! We were completely alone w the chef preparing the meals in front of us! I recommend it highly! Great food & experience!

Amazing experience. The set menu included a very nice array of different foods, and I enjoyed it all, even as a picky eater. The staff is only one person, who is the chef and waiter, and he was very kind. I highly recommend this place to all!

The food was absolutely delicious! The chef was very impressive to watch. The detail he puts into his dishes is incredible. Must must try!

This is an absolutely lovely Michelin star experience. Be prepared for multiple courses wonderfully prepared by the kind chef-owner, and for it to be exquisite. When we visited, we were one of two couples there for the evening, we sat at one of the ten or so seats that are arranged chef's table style, and it was delightful. All the food was amazing and inventive and delicious. More than that, it was a quiet, serene experience.
