Nishijin Fujiyoshi — Restaurant in Kyoto

We enjoyed everything about this restaurant! The hostess greeted us on the street as we exited our taxi and warmly welcomed us into the restaurant. The service was amazing and very attentive. Although there were some language barriers because we only speak English, our server communicated with us well through some English and a translation app. Considering we knew no Japanese, she did a fantastic job communicating with us and helping us understand the food better.

The food itself was incredible. It was very simple, refreshing, and surprising. We tasted many new flavors, and every dish in the eight courses was delicious.

At the end of our meal, Eri and the chef came outside to thank us for dining and see us off. I can honestly say this is the best experience I have ever had in...

One of the best meals we have ever had. Exceptional food and extremely nice and helpful service.

Highlights were the beef and butterfish which were out of this world and starter of crab, sesame, veg, pear and miso that worked together perfectly.

Both people there - the chef and the lady serving, saw us off to the car after dinner and she also met us outside...
