M36***59A two-Michelin-starred restaurant. This restaurant is right in front of Kenninji Temple. It has convenient transportation and is still quiet. It is said that the chef came from Kikunoi. His craftsmanship is very good and the taste is extremely sweet and sweet. This is a high-end kaiseki restaurant that is very, very worth recommending to everyone.

StevenDJRKaiseki 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't eat enough.

travelerererAfter shopping, my stomach also felt a little hungry, so I came to this Japanese restaurant in the nearby neighborhood. The Japanese-style Tang Yang block of this store, as well as salmon sashimi and salmon are very good. Personal suggestions can be ordered. The price is also relatively high.

资深FoodieAuthentic Japanese cuisine and elegant traditional environment are not too fresh, the service is OK but slightly less than the Michelin level in Europe and the United States. After eating, I always feel that it is not worth it.

sAviOr_07Nanchan Temple Shunzheng, no reservation, come to take a chance, there is a seat nice to order snow, moon, flower package, and a few dishes and draft beer package can choose tofu skin or soup tofu, both are ordered, or tofu skin is more delicious, fish by yourself. Both times I came to Kyoto to eat Kyoto cuisine tofu, and they were not bad. The courtyard is very beautiful, there are maple leaves floating on the ground, it is recommended to go around the courtyard after eating.

妮妮吖头Cuiyu Hotel is more convenient to get off at the hotel from Kano Station. Go out of the station and turn right at the Duyue Bridge and walk along the river to the end. The hotel has only dozens of rooms, a typical Japanese garden and a cafe near the river. The interior of the room is Western-style, especially large 45 square meters, clean and comfortable, in line with the taste of a boutique hotel. For rooms without hot springs, you can book private hot springs, and the hot spring water quality is carbonated springs.

空空CJTheir 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!

逍遥Kaiseki cuisine was originally a meal served by the host to the guests during the Japanese tea ceremony. However, it is now not limited to the tea ceremony and has become a common high-end cuisine in Japan. "Kaiseki" means to be like a saint wearing a coarse cloth but holding a jade in his heart. Its form is "one soup and three dishes" (or one soup and two dishes).
