Matakichi

"A sister to Gion Matayoshi, here guests can enjoy cuisine in a casual manner. At lunch, an ochazuke (green tea poured over rice) set menu is available, served with several dishes of obanzai, or Kyoto cuisine side-dishes. Evening fare is an omakase; techniques passed on from the flagship establishment lends brilliance to both soup and grilled dishes. Hassun appetisers loaded with treats such as hijiki seaweed, croquettes and nanbanzuke are served simply. Shaved-ice treats served year-round are a popular sweet – especially loved is the matcha-flavoured shaved ice sweetened with wasanbon syrup." - Michelin Inspector

This restaurant holds a special place in my heart. It’s one I truly remember for having amazing customer service and taste. I came upon the store by chance because I walked by their menu outside and saw they had kakigori and happened to be in the mood for some. I can’t remember the lady name who helped my sister and I but she was amazing! She was well informed on the menu and able to explain very well. I’m planning to stop in again on my next trip for a full meal.

If you are here you Should come and visit The server speaks 4 languages and they let you sample the drink to order and the food is new and refreshing. Course meal, a lot of good food, creative, and finishing it with ice cream. And I am here. Ask about me and we might have a nice conversation of ir you are reading in the future, I will get my time machine running and meet you there.

The sweetest restaurant! They have a preset menu but everything is so perfect you don’t have to worry at all. It was the best food we had so far three days in to our trip!

This restaurant is a hidden gem. We did not reserve, but luckily there was space if we selected the fixed menu. Our host used his phone to explain the ingredients when served. Some were quite adventurous. After almost a week in Japan this was a highlight. We spent a little over two hours. So please make sure you have time. The pictures will speak for themselves. The shaved ice dessert made of natural mountain lake ice was amazing. Highly recommended.

Great place, I recommend! We went there for lunch and got served a great set. The staff is very friendly and tries its best to communicate despite not really speaking English. The food was delicious. The place has a good vibe as well, very relaxing. どうもありがとう

Walked in blind, and ended with an unforgettable and delicious dinner. Tons of innovative combinations — we’ve eaten at Michelin star restaurants with less interesting food. By far our favorite dinner in Kyoto, maybe Japan.

Saw they had kakigori when walking by, was seated immediately and it was 10/10! We got the mango and loved it.

An outstanding experience. Warm welcome and best dinner we have had in Japan at the end of our first week. We fell upon this gem by chance and are delighted that we will have an outstanding address to recommend to our friends. The quality of the set course dinner was superb and removed the headache of deciding what to eat! Beautiful presentation for each of the many courses including delicious fish, beef, vegetables and tofu.
