Gion Kon is what it is called on Pocket Concierge.

Food was delicious! They had Japanese style food (Sushi, Miso Soup, Fish, Vegetables, Beef, etc.) In their course menu and it was all delicious!

They also had lots of drinks available and coca cola which a lot of Japanese places don't offer.

Service was great as well despite the language barrier; they were using Google translate to explain the food and ingredients!

Great place, great atmosphere (more fun and lively that day I was there).

Small Japanese restaurant. Cozy space and time, you will have.

Ingredients... He is particular about fish, and explains various things (without being pushy). The general is young and friendly, and you can learn about food while enjoying delicious food. The food comes out... it's a little late 😅
