Kinugawa — Restaurant in Kyoto

We had no idea what to expect walking in here, we just knew that this place had great reviews. And I'm so glad that we found this place by chance.

I ordered the tempura and cold soba. It was absolutely delicious, the soba noodles had a nice chewy consistency. And the sauce to dip our noodles in with the tempura flakes added a nice crunch. I loved all the textures within the dish. The veggie tempura was so tasty. For me the portion size was perfect. Everything tasted fresh too. There are also other options on the menu for a bigger set with sashimi as well.

The menu has many options to choose from. There's also an English menu that was very thorough and extensive. It was very cute actually. I was very impressed with the service we received. They were very sweet, helpful, and patient with the little Japanese we knew.

I have no complaints, we loved our dinner here. I'll recommend this place to anyone in the area. And if I find myself back again, I'll...

Delicious 8-course meal with hamo, or conger eel. It was the first time I ever tried it, and it was really fun to see it transform in boiling water into a flower-like shape.

Great service. Prompt and friendly. And scrumptious food. The unagi was the best! But I also really enjoyed the tempura. The desert of yuzu-flavored ice cream wasn’t to my personal liking, but others enjoyed it.

They also served a seasonal fish that was hard to eat but a fun experience. You basically had to peel it with your hands so that all the bones would be taken out. Then you ate...

I got there for dinner and I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing food I got there! The staff was so lovely and even tought they did not speak any English, the offered a translated Menu and explained to us about our dishes via Google Translator. They really put an effort to give the customers a great experience.

Delicious food from Kyoto! I absolutely recommend if you are looking for a local's experience.

PS: it is vegeterian friendly, if you don't mind setting aside some of the small bits...
