Thank you very much. I dropped by for lunch and luckily there was a seat available, so I decided to visit on a whim. The use of two different types of vinegar rice to match the toppings was quite charming. The sushi rice was on the smaller side. The choice of serving buckwheat tea as a drink seemed to show some kind of dedication. <Appetizer> Sesame tofu <Dish> Yoko wa Egoma mustard and nori soy sauce, Grilled saury, Simmered shiitake mushrooms <Sushi> Needlefish, Amberjack, Sea bream, Swordfish, Tuna, Marinated mackerel, Golden eye snapper, Yellowtail, Scallop, Sardine <Soup> Red miso soup

I visited Sushi Ni Jo Aoi Tsuki near Kyoto City Hall for the first time! It is a 6.7-minute walk from Kyoto City Hall Station and a 5.6-minute walk from Karasuma Oike Station. Today, I ordered the "Chef's Choice Sushi Course" for 8,800 yen per person (drinks not included). The course includes appetizers, snacks, chef's choice sushi, red miso soup, and dessert. The snacks consisted of 6-7 items and there were about 10 pieces of sushi in the course, making it quite a filling meal. The sushi pieces were a bit small and had compact rice. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. The chef's choice sushi was a nice touch as well. I enjoyed reasonably priced and tasty sushi. Thank you for the meal!

Sushi Kaiseki ~ Kyoto, Nakagyo-ku ~ Aoi Tsuki On this evening, we visited Aoi Tsuki, a sushi kaiseki restaurant located east of Nijo Yanaginobanba Street. We ordered the Tsuki Course (¥6,500): - Appetizer: Kombu with scallops - Soup: Simmered pike conger - Sashimi: Flounder and bonito with seaweed soy sauce - Meat dish: Steak-style tataki of Yamaguchi Prefecture's Ube beef - Specialty dish: Uni ice cream with sesame tofu - Sushi: Chef's selection of 8 pieces - Red miso soup - Dessert: Matcha sherbet We enjoyed delicious dishes and sushi, paired with a tasting of 12 different types of Japanese sake. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

It was my daughter's birthday, so we ordered the 12,500 yen course which included: an appetizer, 4-5 side dishes, 12-15 pieces of sushi, red miso soup, and dessert. The portion size was huge, almost too much to finish! The sushi was delicious no matter which one you tried! However, the appetizers and side dishes were hit or miss. I'm not sure if the chef doesn't drink alcohol, but the flavors were too mild for my Osaka-born palate. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant.

I didn't have the image of sushi in Kyoto, but I really wanted sushi so I came here. I had the 12,000 yen course. The dishes served were as follows: Ankimo, octopus with salt, shirako and leek soup, sardine roll, ark shell, swordfish with karasumi, steamed abalone, sea urchin, sword mackerel, squid, bluefin tuna akami and chutoro, eel, golden snapper, striped jack, botan shrimp, kasugodai, dried mackerel. Overall, it was decent, but as someone who has been exploring sushi in Kanazawa, Niigata, and Toyama recently, none of them really stood out. They were on the verge of being neither bad nor exceptionally good. However, the last dish of dried mackerel surprised me. It was incredibly salty, almost like salted fish. A taste I had never experienced before. That's where something went overboard. Even the red miso soup in the soup bowl was very salty. Why? Balance is key. Salt can enhance or kill the flavors of the ingredients. If this is Kyoto sushi, then it's not for me.

Last year when I visited Kyoto, I went to this restaurant and was very satisfied. I came back again this time. [Location & Parking] Located between Kyoto City Hall Station and Karasuma Oike Station. [Date & Crowdedness] End of the year, 12 pm. I made a reservation and the restaurant was about half full. [Food Experience!!!] - Monthly Course (8 dishes) 5,000 yen - Foie Gras Miso - Raw Sea Cucumber in Vinegar - Clam Soup - Sashimi: Bluefin Tuna, Amberjack, Tairagi Shellfish with Nori Soy Sauce - Beef Steak - Sea Urchin Ice Cream and Sesame Tofu - Nameko Mushroom Soup - Shiso Sorbet Sushi: Sea Bream, Grouper, Bigfin Reef Squid, Fatty Tuna, Kohada, Striped Jack, Scallop, Salmon Roe - Clam Soup The clam soup had a refined taste and the clams were large. The sashimi with nori soy sauce was incredibly delicious. The sushi was slightly small but all very tasty, especially the Kohada and Striped Jack. The Shiso sorbet was also really delicious. For 8 dishes including sushi, the price was very reasonable. I will definitely visit again. [Stay Time 1 hour 15 minutes]

I had some free time at night and felt like having a light meal, so I decided to try out a restaurant I had been eyeing for a while, located on Nijo Street! The appetizers and sashimi were not too extravagant, and the sushi portion of around 8 pieces was just right, priced at around 6000-8000 yen, which is quite reasonable for the quality. It's a Burgman restaurant. I recommend taking a taxi to get there. They serve soba tea, mandarin juice from the chef who is from Yamaguchi, and they also have wagyu beef. Despite being quite affordable, the quality is really good, giving a sense of value for money. Truly a gem on Nijo Street. I will definitely look for more places to try in the area! The heart-shaped strawberries, Kumamoto Koi Minori, with yellow flesh, were incredibly delicious!

I happened to search for a sushi restaurant to have lunch and found this place. The interior was clean and nice. I ordered the sushi lunch course (1800 yen) and was served by the head chef and a female staff member. The service was not particularly outstanding. They recommended sake, offering a set of 3 different types for 1000 yen each. There were some rare options available. Although I tried it, the female staff seemed to not remember and had to check the drink menu. The main sushi had red vinegar rice. Some of the fish was delicious but a few had a hint of bitterness, which was a bit disappointing. However, I was happy to have the opportunity to compare the common white vinegar rice and the red vinegar rice before eating the sushi. There were some nice aspects, but overall, I felt it fell short of expectations.

Two days before the New Year, I was looking for a restaurant to go with my son, and I found this place. The location is a bit east of Yanaginobanba Nijo. I made a reservation in advance through Ichijuku and visited. The monthly course was 6050 yen, but with a 20% discount, it was 4840 yen. Inside the restaurant, there are two 4-person tables near the entrance and a counter with 10 seats in the back. The husband and wife duo run the entire place. We sat at the counter and started with a toast with draft beer and plum wine soda. The monthly course included appetizers like duck liver, monkfish liver, shirako, and a soup dish (wild boar meatball and turnip soup). It also had a sashimi platter with grilled yellowtail and mackerel, a unique dish with sea urchin ice cream and sesame tofu, a meat dish with steak-style Ube beef from Yamaguchi Prefecture, 5 pieces of nigiri sushi, red miso soup, and dessert with creme brulee. We also ordered a sake tasting set for 1000 yen each. The quality and value of the food were excellent. The sushi was served with red vinegar and rice vinegar for the rice, which was a nice touch. The selection of sake was also impressive, with a focus on sake from the owner's hometown of Yamaguchi. It's a great find for me, and I hope the couple can manage running the place without overworking themselves. Thank you for the delicious meal.

The mackerel plum something, I couldn't understand it because it was spoken too fast. The nigiri sushi with sea bream, amberjack, firefly squid, tuna, and horse mackerel had some creativity, but it didn't leave a lasting impression. The service felt awkward and not very customer-friendly. Overall, it was a disappointment. I won't be visiting again. Everything other than the nigiri sushi was delicious. A few months ago, I unknowingly visited at 11:52 and was told by two people, "We start at 12 o'clock." There was no hint of "please come back in 10 minutes" or "we'll be waiting for you." I could interpret it as a 100% "come back another day." In other words, I felt rejected. After dining this time, I realized that it was indeed that kind of restaurant.

Course meal sushi kaiseki restaurant. Located a little away from the city center, so it's more affordable and delicious compared to the city center. Especially happy to be able to eat sushi in Kyoto. There are red vinegar rice and white vinegar rice for the sushi rice, which is Edomae style. The sake tasting is also amazing. #NijoAoiTsuki #AoiTsuki #Kyoto #KyotoGourmet #KansaiGourmet #Gourmet #WantToConnectWithFoodies #SushiKaiseki #KyotoSushi #KyotoSushiKaiseki #Sushi #foodstagram #foodphotography #sushi #wanttoloseweight #foodstagram #foodporn #KansaiSushi #Sake #WantToConnectWithSakeLovers #SushiLoversUnite #Michelin #MichelinStar #MichelinKyoto

I found this sushi restaurant on Tabelog, made a phone reservation, and went for a sushi lunch. The restaurant is located in Nijo Yanagi, but it's easy to miss. The interior is small with counter and table seating. I ordered the lunch set (1800 yen excluding tax) which included an appetizer, sesame tofu, 6 pieces of sushi, and red miso soup (without ingredients). The sushi mainly consisted of white fish. The chef was quiet and not very friendly. The red miso soup without ingredients was a new experience for me, but it was actually quite tasty.

It's been a while since I had a hit. There is a counter in the back and table seats in the front, 4x2. It has a bright and open atmosphere, making it a nice place to dine. We ordered a course meal in advance, and the creative Japanese dishes paired perfectly with the sushi at the end, leaving us very satisfied. This time it was a business dinner, but next time I definitely want to come with my family and sit at the counter. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

In mid-April, my husband and I visited Kyoto for a one-night, two-day trip filled with two meetups, the To-ji Temple market, the Kyoto Odori dance performance, and many other activities. We were excited as we arrived at our first lunch spot, where we enjoyed a quick 1800 yen meal. The restaurant had a counter at the back and table seating in the front. The staff mentioned that photos were allowed as long as they were taken discreetly. We started with a toast of beer and a citrus drink before the food arrived. The first dish was homemade sesame tofu with a slightly tangy sauce, which my husband particularly enjoyed. Next was grilled mackerel with ink sauce on top. The fish was thick, and I personally wished it had a bit more salt. My husband switched from beer to sake, and we were then served five pieces of sushi, each with a different type of vinegar. The meal ended with a red miso soup. Despite my husband's desire for more food, we had a full dinner course planned for the evening. The restaurant was fully booked when we visited, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. Overall, a great dining experience!

Tantaratatata, ta, ta - Japanese people suddenly want to go to Kyoto and find themselves walking under the noren of this restaurant run by a chef's husband and a lovely landlady. The space feels like a quiet place in a bamboo forest. I don't remember what I ate or what I talked about. I found myself shedding a single tear, even though I knew there was no need to cry. It felt like a life force. In this restaurant in Heian-kyo, I felt the magic of Abe no Seimei. I will come back again, maybe in a few years.

The lunch in Kyoto was delicious, both the food and sushi were so good and the cost performance was amazing! It was really delicious, especially for a lunch.

I had the lunch course. Each piece was made in front of me, which made it feel special. The grilled yellowtail was delicious!

I tried the monthly course for ¥6500, which included a tasting set of Nara-style forest sake, sake from Yamaguchi Prefecture, and sake from Niigata. I also received a new sake from Yamaguchi called "Toyo Bijin." The meal included appetizers like mountain wasabi, firefly squid, and abalone, as well as a clear soup and sashimi of yellowtail, sea bream, and horse mackerel. The freshness and taste of the fish were exceptional, as expected from a sushi restaurant. The sushi itself was visually appealing, generous in size, and delicious.
