It didn't quite hit the mark for me...From the photos, it seems like the dinner course is significantly upgraded, so perhaps I should have opted for that instead. The food was traditionally prepared and generally above average in taste, but...I've come to realize that, unlike Western cuisine, the price and satisfaction level in Japanese cuisine tend to correlate frighteningly well. To achieve satisfaction while keeping costs down, it seems the sad conclusion is to save up and only dine at high-end restaurants or order expensive dishes.Having five rice options to choose from, with the possibility of ordering all of them, might be a nice choice for a mid-sized restaurant located right in the heart of touristy Kyoto. However, I felt it would have been better if they had focused on one option and added an extra dish instead. Overall, the direction of the menu didn't align with what I was looking for.Additionally, there was a part where you eat the bonito flakes directly and then drink the first dashi made from those flakes. However, I couldn't find any value beyond the performance aspect. My thoughts were solely focused on the flavor of the bonito flakes.---------------------------------In the photo section, I've included my personal ratings (out of 5 stars) and brief comments for each dish.

Dal Pescatore @dalpescatoresantini has been welcoming guests for almost a century, and it’s easy to understand why it remains one of Italy’s true culinary institutions.

Our evening here was everything we had hoped for. One of the real highlights was the flexibility to enjoy the tasting menu while also ordering à la carte dishes that had caught our eye—a rare luxury at a restaurant of this calibre and a lovely way to experience even more of the menu.

The service was a masterclass in understated hospitality. Warm, relaxed and genuinely personal, the Santini family and their team have perfected that uniquely Italian balance of making every guest feel completely at home while maintaining flawless professionalism. There’s never any sense of theatre for theatre’s sake—just effortless excellence.

Combined with beautifully judged, classically rooted cuisine and the peaceful countryside setting, it was one of those evenings where everything simply clicked into place. A perfect dinner and another unforgettable stop on our Northern Italy tour.

I had the pleasure of dining at Japan's best Yakiniku restaurant, known for being extremely difficult to reserve, located in Akasaka Mitsuke. I am truly grateful for the rare opportunity to experience this.I have been exploring various Yakiniku places, but this was undoubtedly the best Yakiniku I have ever had. It wasn't just the best in its category; it ranks among my top dining experiences overall.From the very first bite of the assorted kimchi, I was impressed.The tongue and outside skirt not only looked fantastic, but their taste was exceptional. Just one bite revealed the quality of the meat, bursting with flavor with every chew. The simple seasoning allowed the natural goodness of the ingredients to shine.The Chateaubriand, knuckle main muscle, and hanging tender offered a luxurious assortment, each with its own unique texture and flavor. The Chateaubriand, in particular, was astonishingly tender, melting in my mouth.The strip loin had beautiful marbling without being heavy, striking a perfect balance between the sweetness of the fat and the umami of the lean meat. The miso tongue, mountain chain tripe, and tenderloin ear were all delicious as well, with the tenderloin ear being surprisingly soft.The cold noodles served at the end had a unique flavor, making it the best cold noodles I've ever had. The fried rice from the secret menu was also exquisite, perfectly toasted and leaving me completely satisfied until the very end.Each dish was a revelation, with a level of perfection that cannot be captured by simply saying "delicious." The quality of the meat, the cutting technique, thickness, and sauce were all executed with overwhelming precision, making me believe that there is no better Yakiniku out there.This is a must-visit for food lovers. It was the best Yakiniku I've ever had, and I hope to return someday.---**Menu Items:**Omakase Course - JPY 25,000◇ Assorted Kimchi ◇ Tongue, Outside Skirt ◇ Liver ◇ Chateaubriand, Knuckle Main Muscle, Hanging Tender ◇ Strip Loin ◇ Miso Tongue, Mountain Chain Tripe ◇ Tenderloin Ear ◇ Cold Noodles ◇ Fried Rice ◇ Melon Less

This time, we were provided with a private room for 3 to 4 people.It was a wonderful space, with the grill right in front of us.The course was JPY 15,000.We added a take-home dish of soboro rice for JPY 1,900 and skewers starting at JPY 500, including sorires (chicken tail), heart, and chicken breast, bringing the total to just under JPY 22,000.The flavors and service were outstanding, making it an excellent value for the experience.
