Top 1 experience at Kyoto. I was not in good mood before dinner but the food and vibe here definitely made my day. I ordered homemade blue lemonade which is the color of summer. Then the first dish served was soybean appetizer, it was cute. The smoked pork in salad and tempura chicken were amazing lol. Even though I don’t like the two types of meat, the taste is so rich and juicy’ Main course was smoked beef sushi. Love them! Shaved ice tasted like snow~ And the hot tea draws a very good ending to the dinner. Also the vibe here is great’ Quiet place with light music, and they are very friendly to every customer Recommended by friends from Bosnia, this place absolutely blew us away. We had a full course meal, and honestly, it’s hard to say which dish stood out the most — every single one was next-level. But if we had to pick a highlight, the smoked sushi was unforgettable. I’ve never tasted anything like it before — rich, delicate, and full of flavor with that perfect smoky twist. And let’s not forget the sake — all you can drink! It paired beautifully with the food and made the whole experience even more special. Truly a one-of-a-kind dining adventure. If you're ever nearby, don’t miss it! Came across this place during lunch time, there was luckily no wait. Staff were super friendly and nice. We did a set course. Everything was great even down to the presentation! Definitely a must visit spot if you’re in Kyoto!

A hidden gem! The chef is incredibly kind; the food was amazing- AMAZING! And the service is top notch; we spent 3 weeks across Japan and this was one of our favorite meals. We recommended it to several people before even leaving the country! Great food, great prices, great service! 10/10!
