Kyo no Musubime — Restaurant in Kyoto

Service and atmosphere were fantastic! When we went, it was 2 kind ladies cooking and serving us and they were very hospitable and had an English menu. Cozy vibes, you can watch them cook from the counter and they seat around 16 people in the entire space.

Food was good and some new dishes for us (Kyoto-style) - tempura was super yummy and lightweight. We ordered the daughter’s course which was 5500 yen pp, they gave a ton of food (maybe had 6-7 courses) and we left STUFFED, so we felt it was good value for the price.

They cater to locals and we understood. Set expectations and you’ll have...

A local restaurant we tried in Kyoto, seating is at the bar or there are a few tables inside too. We sat at the bar.

We tried 5 dishes from the menu, it’s all Japanese cuisine. Everything tasted very good, the chicken could do with some more seasoning. The corn and the dressing was flavourful, something about the mayonnaise. The tofu skin tasted nice too, first time trying that. My wife got the sushi platter and she thoroughly enjoyed it.

All the dishes came at different times, just depended on how long they took to make and if other same dishes were being prepared at...
