After shopping, I felt a little hungry, so I came to this Japanese restaurant in the nearby block. The Japanese karaage, salmon sashimi and salmon in this restaurant are all very good. I personally recommend ordering them. The price-performance ratio is also relatively high.

The environment is not very big, very simple. We were arranged to a small room on the right side of the entrance. There was a long table with only six seats. A chef behind the long table prepared delicious food for us on the spot. What impressed me most was that he used a delicate, original dark green bamboo tube to serve each guest a small glass of sake. At that time, I thought, bamboo can be seen everywhere in China, but why can&#39;t we use it and transform it into such a unique wine container? The Japanese ability to make good use of natural resources and enhance beautification is really worth learning from. Well, when it comes to food, in fact, his dishes are all relatively common ingredients. There is no particularly amazing dish, but the production is more exquisite. In this meal, I was most impressed by the rice, except for the bamboo wine tube. The rice was cooked by hand in a small pot, not the electric rice cooker that Chinese people love. He specially showed us his rice cooker before serving us the rice. The taste was really first-class and very delicious. When eating in Japan, usually all dishes are put away after they are served one by one, and the last dish is a portion of pickles with rice. I ordered the matcha set meal, which is 150 yuan more than the classic set meal, because it is said that matcha desserts are more famous in Kyoto, but the taste is really very ordinary. A small cup of green matcha and a small cake cost only 150 yuan, which is really not worth it. It is recommended not to order the matcha set meal.

An absolutely perfect meal in a beautiful setting. This restaurant is in a quiet area of ​​Gion and can be easily missed as it has a quirky and unassuming entrance. We had a private room but you can also sit at the counter where you can watch the chefs at work. Every dish was beautifully presented and incredible.
