A legendary Japanese confectionery shop with a history of over 500 years. You need to make an appointment in advance to buy it. It tastes good but is hard to buy.

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 main dishes of the restaurant are sushi and fish dishes. They offer bento and dine-in. There is also a lively little girl at home. The old couple runs the restaurant shakily and happily every day.

Many different flavors and menus! Very strong flavor dishes. The waiters were very attentive and the waitresses were very detail oriented.

It feels like a very good restaurant with an elegant environment. The size of the sushi is just right. Each one is delicious. Unknowingly, the whole family ate a lot! I like this restaurant very much and look forward to visiting here again!

Authentic Japanese cuisine and elegant traditional environment but not too fresh, service is OK but not up to Michelin standards in Europe and America. After eating, I always feel that it is not worth it.

Kaiseki cuisine is very exquisite. Every dish is exquisite, and the taste is good. Friends who like meat are advised not to go. Generally, just taste the taste. You can&#39;t eat enough.

Record of the late autumn trip to Kansai in November 2019~
I went to make a reservation at Kikunoi on the first day in Kyoto, but the main store was not available on the date I wanted, so I had to book a branch.
After visiting Kiyomizu Temple, I walked all the way to Kikunoi and arrived on time at 5 o&#39;clock as scheduled. Each guest who made a reservation has a nameplate placed on the corresponding seat, which is full of ritual.
There is a menu for today, but it is not easy to understand. The chef will serve one dish after another, and we will taste them one by one. The chef will also tell you the key points of eating each dish in simple English. Kaiseki cuisine is really about service, atmosphere and ceremony.
To be honest, it is really not very delicious. I just remember that the crab and tuna are delicious. Other soups, grilled food, parent-child meals, etc. are all very ordinary. In the end, if the rice is not finished, they will make it into rice balls for guests to take away and eat.
The dining experience is good, but the taste is really not good in Japan. I ate at any restaurant in Hokkaido, and it tastes better than this.

The decoration and dishes of the restaurant are as poetic as their names. It is a very good restaurant with an elegant environment! The overall dining experience is very good. Although the price is not cheap, it is worth it.

There is a great seasonal menu, 7 courses for $60, with additional dishes going up to $90, $120 etc. The $60 menu was more than enough for us. They had an English menu on the counter which we could look at as each dish came. The food and service were excellent and great value for money. The Japanese menu has beautiful calligraphy, I asked our waitress if I could take a picture and she gave us a small Japanese menu. I recommend this restaurant for anyone who loves good food. It took us about 90 minutes to eat, and it would have taken longer if we ordered more. The restaurant closes at 8pm when the mall closes, so it&#39;s best to book no later than 5.30. The staff speaks very good English.

Their cuisine is really creative and delicious, and of course the price is not cheap. As far as Japanese cuisine is concerned, their standard is the highest quality place. Every dish (more than 14 in total) not only looks good, but also tastes great. You can appreciate the ingenuity of each dish, and you can feel the balance of ingredients and seasoning in every bite. Highly recommended, if you can make a reservation among many people, please enjoy it!
