宮坂 Miyasaka

Holy! Amazing kaiseki restaurant. It’s from Kyoto. Chefs and servers are very gentle and friendly. All ingredients are very fresh and every cuisine is decent. NIchi nich sake is great as well. I never forget the grilled Saba which is so tender and soft. Amazing! The rice is interesting too. I can feel the good rice taste and the core of rice. So good!

This restaurant hides itself in a quiet neighborhood deep in the allies. Without a conspicuous sign (very Japanese style tho), it’s better to give yourself more time than expected in case you can’t find the place. The service was needless to say worth five stars and the quality of food was also good, but I was disappointed that they used cheap and ordinary food all the way at an expensive price that isn’t close to match. I gave the atmosphere 3 stars due to some reasons that weren’t really something they could’ve avoided.

Came for the lunch set, and my overarching feeling was that while there was absolutely nothing to criticise within the meal, I also expected… well… more meal? Firstly, the positives: premium ingredients are used throughout the short lunch course. The meal opens with a trio of shellfish, including a good sized cut of awabi. The tuna is pedigreed, and the hirame had that perfect boinky-but-not-too-chewy texture that remains elusive to even many sushiya. Hamaguri is wild caught from Mie, with fantastic flavour and sweetness. The akami zuke was honestly better than 3 other sushiya using Yamayuki tuna I’ve had this past week. Even the final uguisu mochi was comparable with Ikkoan’s, and beats those you find at any depachika.The chef definitely knows what he’s doing with all this good stuff. Unfortunately, I felt that the meal was also far too abbreviated. There was no grilled or fried dish in the course. The one fried accompaniment was a pitifully tiny kinmedai fritter tinier than my thumb. Although rice refills are included, I ran out of sides to eat it with, and ended up feeling just a smidge unsatisfied by the end, which is an odd feeling for a ¥22000 meal. Perhaps one suggestion is to increase the size of the kinmedai fritter, to give a more substantial protein component to the proceedings? If you’re looking for a light lunch, and price is no object, this place is an easy recommendation.

I have been twice .. having been to Japan regularly for 20 years , it has hard to find restaurants u want to revisit given the high quality.. Miyasaka is another level

My wife and I came to Japan for our honeymoon. We were very excited to try a Japanese Michelin restaurant. The private room was peaceful. The server was superb. He was very kind and handled our poor Japanese very well! The food, unfortunately, was some of the worst we've had at any restaurant in our lives. Part of this is likely due to our American taste. But we have eaten plenty of other food in Japan, or Japanese food in other countries, and it has all been much better. Be prepared for cold and funky-tasting dishes throughout. Slime and gelatin are the primary texture. I believe two dishes out of 12 were warm, and they were good. But the rest was very unforgiving. $750 USD for one of the worst meals we've ever had. We left after course 7/12. I'm sure the fruit and matcha dishes would have been ok, but my wife felt ill by dish 4 and we figured we were just wasting our time at that point, given that 711's have good desserts too.

The food was awful. Not westernized at all. They give you a snail and fish with the eyes showing. We were seated in what looked like someone’s closet with extra chairs, very unprofessional. The server was sweet though. We didn’t even finish our food because I got sick and they wouldn’t refund us and so I lost $750 USD.

Whilst the food is very, very good, but for the price (yen 134k, £680) and compared to other similar Michelin starred restaurants which are considerably less, it isn’t worth it.

Everything was good quality, but for the price, it's missing a main dish that justifies the price...
