Isami Sushi
Sushi restaurant
👍👍 We tried many sushi places all over Japan, even in Kanazawa which had amazing fresh fish, but this place was THE BEST sushi and sashimi, truly a master's work.
You can order a la carte as well as course meals, which aren't too expensive. We ordered the most expensive course meal, which was about 65...

上古屋
Izakaya restaurant
👍👍 After more than 40 minutes of searching on internet for the perfect Izakaya for the evening we found Johkoya. With great local reviews and obviously only one bad review (from a tourist clearly not knowing that quality costs a bit more) we decided to try it out. So happy that we did!
Without doubt o...

Sou
Izakaya restaurant
😠 Xenophobia! Foreign tourists beware! The restaurant opens at 5:30 pm. We arrived at 5:45 pm. Restaurant was empty and yet staff/chef refused to seat us. If I could rate this place a ZERO star, I would!

Eikichi

The service was quite poor, especially for a restaurant in Kyoto. It felt like they were just trying to get rid of us, especially because we were fo...
