We were exploring Kyoto, when we got hungry and aas we saw this tiny little restaurant, we knew, we wanted to take the time to sit down and enjoy the meal.
The restaurant is decorated with love and gives the vibe of a modern style fine dining club, with well chosen music, a nice calm ambiente and only some few tables around you. The waiter/barkeeper was highly trained in all facettes of modern dining etiquette and the small details he took care of, such as some tiny woodsticks to put the silverware on, we're just the cherry on the icing. He knew very well, when he was needed and stayed in the background but always just a blink of an eye away.
The food was fantastic and even if this is one of the more expensive restaurants in the area, it was worth every penny.

This restaurant and it's staff are phenomenal.
Thanks a lot for that dinner experience. We will come back next...

They had grilled Isaki(イサキ), which is a great fish in June! The only downside was the 30-minute wait between the isaki and vegetable grills, so I couldn't enjoy them together. However, the vegetables were...
