Hanasaki Nishiki — Restaurant in Kyoto

I reserved a tofu kaiseki lunch and I enjoyed my experience. The food was delicately and beautifully presented, high quality and showcased traditional flavours. In particular I liked the tofu soup, sashimi and tempura.

The service was very kind, polite and attentive, they also did their best to communicate in english what the dishes were and how to eat them. Their hospitality was really heartwarming and added to the experience.

The restaurant is in a Japanese traditional house, very clean and beautifully decorated with high attention to detail, and we were able to enjoy our meal in a quiet and private room.

I’m grateful to have had this kind of experience during my time...

It’s better to reserve a table if you wanna go. We didn’t know this place required a reservation. We just went there after 7:00 pm and they still accepted us as their last customers before they closed and they no longer accepted any customers after that. This place offers traditional Kyoto Style Japanese Kaiseki and they will have a small private room for customers. They offer seasonal cuisine, set of dishes. The food was pretty good, and they were all small dishes. The server was very nice and attentive. It was a great experience for us and you should definitely try out the Kaiseki while you...

This restaurant is an oasis, just off the beaten path from the overcrowded tourist hellhole of Nishiki Market. We enjoyed a beautiful set lunch, each dish thoughtfully and artfully prepared. All of the courses- from sashimi and tempura to pickled vegetable sushi and homemade chocolate cake- were very fresh and of high quality.

The restaurant itself is peaceful, charming, and authentic. We took off our shoes to eat in the upstairs dining portion on tatami mats. Our hostess was friendly and kind and thoroughly explained each course.

5/5 stars for this gem. Can’t...
