【2026.07 Date Night♪】Located on the second floor of a building about 200 meters from Higashiyama Station towards Nanzenji on the Tozai Subway Line, this Japanese restaurant is a hidden gem.The talented chef, who honed his skills at renowned places like Gion Maruyama and Gion Sasaki, also brings experience from Chinese and innovative cuisine. He offers unique ethnic dishes and unexpected combinations that have rapidly gained popularity (according to Rakuten). The restaurant has earned a Michelin star in the Kyoto-Osaka guide, establishing its reputation as a top dining destination. My wife visited once and was captivated by the ambiance and surprising dish combinations, so we secured a reservation during our last visit for our eighth time in four months!With the rainy season over and the scorching heat making sightseeing unappealing, we made a quick round trip to Kyoto just for dinner.The chef personally welcomed us at the entrance, which was a nice touch. Since it was hot, we started with a beer and let the drinks be a surprise.We enjoyed the chef's unique course while savoring the sharp and unexpected flavors that occasionally surprised us.【2026.07 Omakase Course♪】☆ Ebisu Beer (small bottle)☆ CHAMPAGNE Laherte Frères★ Pickled plum dashi with tofu cream and green yuzu★ Hair crab with white sweet potato and tomato jelly☆ ADEGA DO VULCAO Pé do Monte 2022★ Sushi porridge with sea urchin and turban shell, seaweed☆ Junmai Sake Omachi Kuro-ushi★ Steamed eel and Kamo eggplant soup with sansho pepper and oil☆ Hayaseura Special Junmai Sake Hamano Kaze★ Sliced sea bream sashimi (Kobera) with dried cucumber☆ Yukinobijin Junmai Ginjo Ichihotsuki★ Octopus from Akashi with whole citrus and kombu salt☆ Kinkonichi Junmai Sake Omachi★ Sweetfish from Lake Biwa with herb spring rolls☆ Gin and Tonic (BEEFEATER)★ Tanegashima Kajiya Beef, lamb loin, grilled eggplant with black garlic sauce☆ CANTINA DEL PINO BARBARESCO 2021★ Cold soup noodles with white miso broth and dried sardines★ Freshly made hot rice balls★ Freshly made hot rice balls + fried corn★ Mapo tofu curry★ Mapo tofu curry + fried corn★ Rice with raw egg★ Freshly made warabi mochi☆ Total bill: JPY 41,750 per person x 2We thoroughly enjoyed the variety of rice dishes and left completely satisfied!This is definitely a place I want to continue visiting regularly.
