About 10 minutes walk from Gion Shijo Station on the Keihan Line. A Japanese restaurant that received three stars from the Michelin Kyoto in 2023 and is said to be the most difficult to get a reservation in Kyoto.
A major renewal will take place in the summer of 2023. Climb the stairs to reach the entrance, where you will be greeted by the landlady.
There is a statue of Nio, and in front of the automatic door is an open kitchen with 12 seats at the counter. Not only can you see the master cooking, but you can also clearly see the disciples, making it a great place to not only watch them cook, but also enjoy conversation with them.

The impressive array of artistic dishes was a feast for the eyes, tongue, and soul. What was most impressive was the sushi prepared by the chef. An exquisite taste that lets you feel the history of craftsmanship. What makes the ingredients even more delicious is the temperature of the chef's hands. It was an amazing piece that I will never forget, where I could feel the deliciousness deep within the warmth.
Japanese-style mapo tofu is wonderful, and although the ingredient is eel, it looks and tastes like mapo tofu. The dessert made from roasted sweet potatoes was also impressive, and the taste of the first milt I tasted remains in my memory.
I am grateful that I was able to enjoy the most delicious food that I could enjoy from beginning to end.
