I would say this is s hidden gem in a small alley at Gion of Kyoto. This was recommended by a gourmet friend & again proven to be super good value for lunch. Despite the very decent price for lunch set, dishes were well prepared & tasted good. Services were of very high standard. Must try.

A truly memorable meal at the counter with ex-colleagues, one of the best of a series of fabulous eating experiences, as every year in Japan. We took a fixed dinner - highly creative. The service personalized, in part by the owner, and the accompanying sake of high quality. Sangencha-san is definitely on my list of Kyoto restaurants where I will always return on every visit to Kyoto.
