Kyoto cuisine Matsusho — Restaurant in Kameoka

We found a wonderful traditional Japanese Kaiseki restaurant, #京料理 松正 (#Kyo Ryori Matsusho), for lunch. We met the Executive Director, who is a YouTuber (#小笹正義) and speaks good English! We had a 6 course meal. The entree is warm ginkgo nuts, well-seasoned sushi rice, and flavorful chicken roll were delightful surprises. The pickled pumpkin was exquisite in both flavor and texture—unlike any pumpkin we've had before. The tofu and mushroom in broth were the highlight of the entree, even Jon enjoyed the tofu!

The sashimi of tuna, herring, and snapper was incredibly fresh. The grilled mackerel with mushrooms was cooked perfectly. The tamagoyaki was tender with the right balance of saltiness and sweetness. The rice, miso soup, and pickles were a great match, especially the high-quality rice cooked with sweet potato, carrot, mushrooms, deep-fried tofu, and crunchy veggies. The dessert of pumpkin and lily root yokan with matcha green tea was a perfect combination of sweetness and bitterness. We are so glad that we had a wonderful dining...

We had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable Japanese lunch! The tasting menu was an exquisite journey of flavours, textures, and artistry, showcasing the chef’s exceptional skill and creativity. Every dish was beautifully presented, with fresh, high-quality ingredients that highlighted the essence of Japanese cuisine.

What made the experience even more special was the warm and personal touch of the chef. They took the time to introduce each course, sharing insights about the ingredients and inspiration behind the dishes. It truly felt like a tailored dining experience.

The atmosphere was serene and inviting, perfectly complementing the culinary experience. We highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic and elevated Japanese dining experience.

Thank you to the entire team for a remarkable lunch! I look forward to...

A wonderful hidden restaurant! Hidden a within residential area. You wouldn’t think that there’d be a restaurant here. It’s omekase-style restaurant. We were given a private room and the was tranquil.

We walked from the Sagano train station, which took us about 18mins. We arrived just before 2pm, without realizing they were closing but they were so nice and accommodated us.

Food was delicious and we would have enjoyed it more if we had more time! Will definitely visit again and plan better next time we visit. Please also make a reservation.

I especially enjoyed the 3-day miso marinade salmon. Sweet and salty. Umami bomb! Even the bamboo dish was refreshing.

Thank you so much for also sending us to the hozugawa river...
