Sushisakaba Sushitofuji — Restaurant in Kyoto

I’ve traveled a lot and tried sushi in many places, but this was truly one of the best sushi experiences of my life. The omakase set was priced very reasonably, around $25–40, yet the quality was outstanding. Everything was incredibly fresh, prepared with precision, and served in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. You can clearly see that the chefs put genuine love and dedication into their work. This is, without a doubt, my number one sushi spot in Japan and honestly the best sushi I’ve ever had anywhere. The restaurant is only a ten-minute walk from the station. It’s not a touristy place — located on the second floor, authentic, local, and exactly the kind of spot where Japanese people themselves go to eat. We will definitely come back...

We walked to this place on our way back home from a day-trip to Hiroshima. We made our reservation online and at 9:30pm we were there. We were seated at the counter, on the far right (which was a bit of a shame because we were not in front of the sake bottles and/or where the food was being made) but on the bright side we had a view on the Kyoto tower right behind us. Food was delicious and service was fast. We got the nigiri assortment, the sashimi assortment and the tuna roll. All was great. The only downside was that we got the feeling we were treated differently from locals (they were served on classic woodden sushi plates, while we were served on regular plates). But that was maybe just a feeling. Would recommend this place...
