This was one of, or thee best meals I’ve had in my travels to Japan, which are frequent. The owner was extremely friendly which made the food even that more delicious. Each piece of chicken was succulent and perfectly seasoned. Fried chicken skin was ordered multiple times, it was that good. The staff was extremely accommodating. Make sure to make a reservation. I would plan a trip to Kyoto just to come back here.

Extraordinary restaurant, the service was absolutely great. It was a very authentic Japanese experience, very cozy and intimate place ( dining on the floor, hot towels)
The Yakitori was among the best ever tasted, but you must also try the duck breast and the pepper rice. Great sake and good wines available also.
