Head chef and assistants are very kind and disciplined. Perfect execution to carefully designed dishes made from carefully sourced super high quality ingredients. They take pride here of what they offer. Simple clean and innovative, how? You have to visit. Restaurant is a small counter. Food stands out, like a lot, you can taste the charcoal on shrimps, snapper is perfectly cooked, tuna is aged (chef would explain the aging process and what umami is) rice is prepared to perfection, desert is simply a piece of fruit. I have to indicate that amount the many dishes you would taste, the sesame Tufu is beyond great. Hot tufu is made from sesame, topped up with sesame paste and toasted sesame on top. Like this one is simple, innovative and takes you to another level of your gastronomic journey. Bravo Jiki and all working there and thank you. One more thing, the roasted green tea amend matcha is a plus

What a treat. Chef Takatomo Izumi's menu for our special lunch was unique and timeless in every way. He was attentive, gave us a detailed explanation for every dish he served. Including the meticulous process of aging fish, which we thought was just so cool. Every dish had a flirtatious take on new school methods - yet he kept the integrity of traditional ingredients, letting the ingredients shine. The ingredients married each other wonderfully with balance. It's also not just about the food, but the ceramics he served them on. I ate off an ancient 800 year old bowl, which he served heavenly silky Toro in. The ceramics of this restaurant is a sight itself. After lunch we were served Matcha hand whisked by the Chef himself in beautiful Chawans. The staff were courteous and friendly. We will definitely be back next time in Kyoto for a dinner here!
What an amazing dinner by Chef Izumi! A 15-course work of culinary delight. Nothing more to say but will definitely return when I'm back in Kyoto.
Wowza! Great meal in Kyoto, impeccable food and friendly staff. The restaurant offers a range of set price menu offerings, so it's affordable to a range of budgets. The setting is in a small restaurant just off Nishiki Market. Definitely not a place to just wander in as there are only around 10 seats. Your hotel should be able to help with the booking. All patrons are sat along a bench while Jiki and his staff prepare the food in front of you and tell you about each dish (they do English too). The food was great and probably my favourite meal in Japan. Checkout the pictures! Each dish painstakingly prepared and well considered. Jiki himself was humble and eager to ensure you enjoyed every aspect of the experience. To top it off, Jiki gives you a beautifully printed (in Japanese characters) copy of the night's menu that you might think about framing. That was really the icing on the cake. Definitely highly recommended, you won't be disappointed here.
Fantastic food - engineered to trigger the best sensations. The level of details is as you would expect for this type of restaurant, but the results are by far superior. Maybe just maybe the best meal of my life. I mean we were served Femal AND Virgin cow and explained why it matters ... not sure if that’s why it was amazing, but it was.
