What travelers say:
Remember 2019.11 Kansai late autumn trip~ I went to book Kikunai on the first day of Kyoto. As a result, I didn't have the main store of the date I wanted, so I could only book a branch. Visit Kiyomizu Temple and go straight to Kikunaii. The reservation is 5 o'clock and arrives on time. Every booked guest has a nameplate on the corresponding seat, and the sense of ritual is full. There is a menu today, but I don't understand it. Chefs, we are a bit of a piece, the chef will tell you every point of eating in simple English, kaiseki cuisine really eats service, atmosphere and ritual. To be honest, it is really not particularly delicious. I remember that crabs and tuna are delicious. Other soups, roasts, parent-child rice, etc. are very ordinary. In the end, if the meal can't be finished, they will be squeezed into rice balls for guests to take away. The dining experience is good, the taste is really not good in Japan, I eat a family in Hokkaido, it is better than this.

Kyoto has a lot of traditional kaiseki cuisine, the price is not cheap, it is a lot of burden for ordinary tourists, but like Kikunai Luxury, there is only 4,000 Japanese lunch set, for small-timers who want to taste kaiseki cuisine without too much budget, it is a very good choice! Speaking of Japanese cuisine, high-end kaiseki cuisine is also a cuisine that tourists want to try, which is very representative of Japanese culture. Using many ingredients on the ground, after the chef carefully cooked, into a delicate cuisine, not only the ingredients are exquisite, the plate, the foodware, etc. are pleasing to the eye.
I first came here to experience kaiseki cuisine, and a few years later I went to another place and was disappointed. It is one of the best restaurants in the country, and it is great if you can book a seat at its brother restaurant, but this restaurant is also a good choice.
If you want to eat Michelin in Kyoto, you must book in advance. This is the only Kaiseki cuisine I can book and the evaluation is not bad. The store is located in a small road. The facade is not big, and I will walk by accidentally, most of the izakayas in Japan are like this. We ordered a lunch (with a variety of options) and an extra pot of sake, which is really good, pure Japanese sake. Because the language was not available, the boss called a more considerate waiter to serve us one-on-one. The waiter was very caring. When each dish came up, he gave a Chinese menu. The day we went there was just a few people, so we sat in a large private room. The tatami private room is clean, every decoration and tableware furnishings are very Japanese and very delicate. . The serving speed is relatively slow, the sashimi is very fresh, the dishes are very exquisite, and every tableware is of high quality. The desserts and rice are spicy and delicious, and the taste is very good. I have to say that Michelin is really good. The final consumption is 16,394 yuan. The connecting bill is spicy and beautiful! The waiter bowed and smiled throughout the service. Very worthwhile Michelin experience, highly recommended.
It was also booked through a treasure one month in advance. The store in Junaijing was too hot to book. It could only be changed to the dew Junaijing opened by my brother, Michelin two stars. The address is also easier to find. At the intersection of the wooden house, there are many visits in the wooden house, but the entrance of this store is very low-key and it is easy to miss. Entering the door has a chic creek landscape, the Japanese are also very particular about the interior design. Sit down at the bar, the chef gave the menu, a dish is particularly exquisite, although can only judge the ingredients in the English, but the visual taste is a new experience, although the taste is not as exciting as barbecue, ramen, but there is also Kaiseki's particular connotation, so it is still the same sentence, The food is a feeling and exquisite, the owner's uncle will also be delivered to the door, and will take a photo, very friendly ~
Both people set a lunch of 7,000, plus the service fee, one person is only more than 500 yuan, actually is a large private room, each side will explain, and then go out, we eat in it, very comfortable. In the cherry blossom season, many dishes are a bit embellished, and all the ingredients are seasonal and delicious. This price can't eat Japanese food of this level in China, so don't ask for the taste of the full Han Dynasty. Kaiseki cuisine was not won by taste.
A store must be reserved, otherwise there is no location, you can be one month or two months in advance. Creative cuisine, creativity is worth money, good service, so there must be a service fee for dining, the environment is not bad, travel, it should be spent.
It took about an hour to get kaiseki cuisine from the first to the fragrance. When the last water object was in the mouth, the dumplings and crispy persimmons were hugged, and they wanted to raise their hands to put flowers on. When I left, I asked if I could take the menu away. The clerk even said three dozo hahaha
