Today we went to Mirei, a restaurant that Kyoto is proud of. Over 40 menus are made with seasonal ingredients. All of them are delicious...it's true.
Regardless of the time of entry or the number of people, everything is served a la carte, and even the smallest selfish customers will be listened to. It's so delicious that I can't help but keep adding more, but there's never too much time between servings. This is no ordinary preparation or skill. (Only people who understand this should attend.)
This is not a restaurant, a Japanese restaurant, or even an izakaya. This is a strong style that should be called a "restaurant".
And (although it's rude to talk about prices), the prices are reasonable despite the fact that they offer so many good seasonal ingredients and dishes that take advantage of them. For the price of going to a restaurant in Kyoto, which has skyrocketed in recent years, you can go to Mirei-san twice.
Whether alone, on a date, as a couple, or for a dinner party. It's heaven if you go with someone who loves delicious food. It may be a little difficult to make a reservation, but if you have the chance, please come.
For your reference.

Since it was my first visit, I opted for the course, but most people seemed to be enjoying the a la carte option. It's fun to watch the various dishes being prepared one after another in front of you behind the plain wood counter, and everyone wants to eat them.
All of the dishes were satisfactory, but the ones that particularly left an impression on me were the mugwort tofu that came with the appetizer, the tuna that came with this wata, and the vinegared black abalone. The seasonal crab also smells good. It was very well-balanced and the price was reasonable, but next time I'd like to try a la carte.
The staff of the shop, including the young manager, are also nice. The utensils were also beautiful.
