One of the best small sushi counters we have been to in Kyoto at a fraction of the price of other establishments. High quality sushi chef. Yes menus are in English and also in Japanese but the quality of the sushi was very good. If you want simple not fancy sushi nigiri and rolls in a sushi counter offering this is the place to go.

Wow, wow, wow! Some of the best nigiri and sashimi I have ever had. So fresh, melt in your mouth. All food is served straight up on the bench in front of you, generous portions (nothing thinly sliced about it 😍) , handfuls of ginger, a delicious broth to finish. The chef is so welcoming. Will be going back again before we leave.

Save yourself from embarrassment and humiliation. Don’t go there; from the service to the food you will be disappointed. The plates were dirty and the sushi looks bad. The soup was full of bubbly soap. Chef plopped the rolls on the counter, with dry browned ginger on the side. The piece of tuna were tinny and the sushi was basically rice and salads and avocado.

INCREDIBLE. The best sushi and sushi experience I have had in Japan. The place is small and intimate, the staff are very friendly, and the atmosphere is cosy and causal. The sushi is made right in front of you and was fresh and incredibly delicious!

Great small place. Best sushi I’ve had I think. Has a few sets you can choose from. The tuna belly was my favourite. Really fresh and the chef is really nice. Makes it right in front of you and you eat off the table which is a really cool experience. A bit more on the expensive side.
