Dōng Shān Touzan - Kyoto

We really enjoyed Touzan. The ambience was chic and cozy, drinks were excellent. Bar employees were first-class craftsmen in cocktail making. We ordered on and out menu; my favorite was her old fashion. It came with more shrimp than I have ever seen that simply a drink (two turns, two slices and one mint spin), but somehow not overdue; it was just beautiful, and the mint gave a fresh touch. The famous cocktails are good; they make a local gin in Kyoto. The actual production of drinks was done with such an art that I enjoyed the bar staff almost as good as I enjoyed the drinks. Their ability with stirring and shaking is truly world class and produces an amazing product.

If you appreciate fine Japanese fares, I recommend Higashiyama Touzan for her lunch menu 11.30 am 2.30 pm. Although prices are expensive, the cook compliments local dishes in seasonal menu on offer. If you have experienced good food in the past, you will know that it is so much about the experience as the meal itself. Allow time to fully enjoy it. In this sense I recommend the Kagomori set, beautifully presented and the cheapest set in the menu. Tom
