Kyoto Sushi Yamazaki — Restaurant in Kyoto

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the most unforgettable meals we’ve had in Japan! This family-run sushi restaurant in Kyoto is an absolute gem. We had the omakase and were blown away by every single course. Each dish was a work of art, made with the utmost care and precision.

Couldn’t recommend more for an unpretentious, phenomenal...
