Kikunoi Roan - Kyoto

Still a fantastic price lunch suggestion in kyoto. sure, it can not be the best out there, but with excellent service, seasonal ingredients and quality control, I want to come back again and again. Wakayama-san is still there at my visit in the 19th sep., he is there 9 years ago as a chef. This kind of consistency they find at most do not put, unless the owner is the chef.

Amazing eating! great personal. best meal we had in japan, and we had about 20 stars in the worth of food. this lunch was worth the best and the best to eat. the chef here is a god! and the crazy where everything is amazing. I hope I can go back sometime during my life.

I'm so glad to come to this restaurant. one of the best culinary experiences of my life. I can see why this is 2 Michelin stars in japan. absolutely golden. the rest of the rice is made for us tomorrow in reisbälle. we can even take the serviette cloth as souvenir with to home! would like to visit again.

An inspiring dinner in a poetic presentation! we ordered the special menu for oktober and the cook won us in the first set. chef showed great imagination, to marinate egg yolk in soy sauce to the perfect bath for her ootoro (blue flo tina sashimi.) it is another level on the usual soy sauce and wasabi because the chef knows how to improve the sashimi. chef also shows his search for new flavors like the use of Chinese shao xing wine, and his take on Japanese Cantonese Hai Fin suppe, which is lighter than the Cantonese version, but full of taste. the presentation was thought to provoke the eating, was served with the picture of the autumn when a boat flies in the river when the weeds are high, the swallows fly in the full moon. yes definitiw 5 stars. plan to visit the mother restaurant kikunoi honten soon!

Brilliant Kaiseki experience. Indulged in their Kisaragi dinner menu complete with seasonal fish, and local indigenous vegetables that’s so carefully prepared and served, course after course. A must try should you want an authentic Japanese fine dining experience in Kyoto.
