Berangkat — Restaurant in Kyoto

I walked past this place three times eyeing it off but every time it looked full. I decided to come try it at opening on a Sat night and manage to get a seat. My intuition was spot on, this place was off the hook!! The staff were absolutely amazing and incredibly sweet with excellent English. I told them I didn’t eat meat, only fish and they started serving me dish after dish, i didn’t need to order anything only to tell them to stop once I was full. I wish I could have eaten more!!! I ate so many things I’d never tried before and EVERYTHING was delicious. The restaurant is so small only 7 people fit around the bar at once plus a couple more at a table. If I come back to Japan, Kyoto is number 1 on my list so that I can come back here again. I loved everything about this experience. Pls note this restaurant is cash only, like most places...

Writing as I'm sat here - couldn't resist! Arrived 8:30pm, for a table immediately (whole room to ourselves actually). Only Japanese menu. But the staff are so accommodating and helpful as Japanese are. Love love love! They just brought us out their recommended dishes instead of choosing our own. Dish after dish was better and better. (Hope I didn't jinx myself now for the next rounds to come :p )

Cash only. Japanese menu only. Super friendly. Fusion Japanese tapas style dishes. Heads up .. You got to be a coriander lover!

We couldn't make a reservation for days (fully booked), but one evening we were passing by, we were hungry and we got invited in, just as they had been already done with taking the "last order". Very nice!

We only got some bites, but everything was so tasty! They also offered some sochu with coffee beans inside, which was terrific!

Moreover, they spoke English (we obviously don't expect that from anyone in their own country) and everybody was too nice and hospitable!

Highly recommended, if you can...
