I visited the Japanese restaurant "Kyoto Kareki" at the EXE Kyoto Yase Rikyu. The restaurant is located in a separate building from the hotel, and you enter the restaurant by crossing a bridge called "Kirara Bridge." Facing the garden, you enter through a glass-walled open entrance. I ordered a full-course small portion to enjoy various delicious dishes, with many types in small portions. The assorted sashimi, tenderly simmered abalone, both beautifully presented in elegant dishes, show a sense of style. The crispy grilled blowfish is also exquisite. Whether it's the shabu-shabu using Matsusaka beef dashi topped with sea urchin or other dishes, everything is delicious, and it makes you want to enjoy wine, white wine, shochu, etc. This is truly the essence of EXE's Japanese cuisine. It's not easy to experience Japanese cuisine at this level often, so enjoying it at the hotel is a delight. The breakfast is a Japanese breakfast set for 2,420 yen. The tables are arranged with ample spacing between them. You can have an extraordinary experience from the morning. Since the dinner was not crowded, I was a bit surprised that there were people staying here. I enjoyed a cup of apple vinegar as a morning wake-up, and the tofu hot pot is also very Japanese. The miso soup with wheat gluten is delicious with its soft texture. You even get a sweet treat with your breakfast.

I always use private rooms, but this time I had dinner in the dining area. I was a little nervous, but the miso soup and sashimi were particularly delicious. As an apology for the freshly cooked rice taking some time, they served me sake in an Arita porcelain wine glass and a complimentary matsutake mushroom tempura. The head chef even came to greet us at the end, and I am truly grateful. I must make my own business cards too! Thank you as always.

I had a wonderful time at Exib Japanese restaurant in Kyoto. The portion sizes were just right, and each dish had a refined and delicious taste. In particular, the option to choose from a variety of sake cups added a fun accent and enhanced the dining experience. I would like to give a heartfelt 5-star rating for the luxurious time I had in the comfortable atmosphere. It's a restaurant I would like to visit again.

Ordered the Aoi Wagyu course at the teppanyaki restaurant! Started with octopus, squid, fried eggplant sashimi, bluefin tuna, firefly squid, and red sea bream. Followed by simmered Aoi Wagyu in white miso, summer vegetables and tomato sauce with red sea bream and scallops, Aoi Wagyu fillet steak, Aoi Wagyu sirloin steak, tuna flakes with burdock root and Kujo green onions on toast, hojicha tea ochazuke, soba noodles, and plum wine from Maou Kyoto. For dessert, watermelon, melon, grapes, and lemon sherbet. I was surprised by the variety of dishes in the Aoi Wagyu course and everything was dangerously delicious!

Following the teppanyaki dinner, I had a morning set meal at Kahreki. I was surprised by the amount of food that I couldn't finish in the morning! The Kyoto-style tofu and Kyoto-grown Koshihikari rice were delicious and shiny, and the grilled salmon and side dishes were also very tasty.

After a long time, I stayed at Exib Hase Rikyu. I headed to the Japanese dinner I reserved. I walked slowly while looking at the beautifully arranged garden. Sometimes, I watched the fireflies flying around... Yes! The hospitality for dinner has already begun. Exib's 50th-anniversary dinner♪ The excitement is unstoppable without any prior knowledge as the head chef has just changed. I will post a photo. The rice dish collaborated with the 8th generation Gihei was so delicious that we finished it all between the two of us.

Exquisite Kyoto Hase Rikyu's Japanese breakfast. Before breakfast, I went to the spa and enjoyed sauna 2 sets, water bath 2, and fresh air bath 2 to start the morning luxuriously and beneficial for the body! This is what I call an ideal breakfast!!! Everything was delicious~ I especially liked the tofu in soy milk hot pot! Ate three bowls of rice in the morning and felt happy~✨️

The dishes I had in Hida Takayama were Hoba Miso Grilled and Meat Sushi. The miso was smooth and easy to eat, and the Hida beef meat sushi was exquisite. While Japanese cuisine has become more creative, this time it was a course where you could taste the broth without any extravagance. The sparkling wine and white wine were also delicious.

I used the Japanese cuisine restaurant "Nihon Ryori Kyoto Kareki" located within the Exiv Kyoto Yase Rikyu during my stay. The course incorporates ingredients sourced locally in Kyoto and Kansai, but my honest impression is that the cost performance is not great. Of course, since it is high-end hotel Japanese cuisine, I understand it to some extent. However, choosing to not include meals with the stay also feels unfair to the hotel. The 10% service charge is a wonderful hospitality gesture, so I accept it, but I think they should reconsider the course contents a bit. The final dessert was of very poor quality. I hope the restaurant department of Resort Last puts in a bit more effort! With many other dining options outside, I would prefer to choose those. [Course received this time] 11,800 yen (tax included 12,980 yen) plus 10% service charge: - Sakizuke: Seigoin daikon and simmered abalone in clam broth, sesame tofu with sesame, Kyoto Minuka, yuzu - Suimono: Kinhan style with clouds, chopped mitsuba, Nanboku-ya shichimi - Sashimi: Oita "Kabosu Buri" and spicy daikon, Tai konbu-shime and Okui Kaisendo tororo konbu, Honmaguro with mustard and wasabi - Kyoto small plates: Steamed turnip with Guji, charcoal-grilled taro, Senmaizuke mackerel sushi - Meat dish: Black Wagyu celery hot pot, Toyoyakeya Yamamoto's thick fried tofu, Kyoto mizuna, enoki - Gohan: Kikka mugao rice, pickles, red dashi - Mizugashi: Hojicha pudding, black sugar warabimochi, fruit jelly

Recommended course "Gorgeous" for 15,400 yen (tax included 16,940 yen). The appetizer of steamed monkfish from Noto was unique. The hot clam soup was delicious. The sashimi of cold flounder and fatty tuna melted in the mouth, but the yuba roll underneath the tuna was too red. The grilled blackthroat seaperch was unusual and not to my taste. The hot simmered dish was surprisingly hot. The roasted Kobe beef had a slight meaty smell. The steamed sushi with conger eel and the salt ice cream for dessert were delicious. Overall, I would have preferred the Standard course for 12,980 yen instead.

I used it at night. Adults had a course meal, and children had a special meal. Both adults and children's meals were very delicious. The dish with Hida no Takibi miso was not tasty when cold. It was very disappointing that this dish was placed on a magnolia leaf, unlike the other dishes.

This is a revisit. It's breakfast at Yase Rikyu serving Japanese cuisine. They offer a variety of options such as yudofu with yuba, steamed vegetables, set meal, and a choice of three types of porridge (tea, egg, yuba). The portions were generous and very delicious. The dashimaki tamago, salmon, and chicken liver were particularly tasty. Thank you for the meal.

I have been to various teppanyaki restaurants, but this teppanyaki restaurant is my favorite ✨ The chef's skills and service are excellent ✨ The menu changes with the seasons. On this day, I had tofu steak for the first time and it was exquisite ✨ My husband also loved it ✨ The butter soy sauce grilled abalone was also amazing ✨ The meat is always my favorite Omi beef ✨ When it comes to teppanyaki, garlic rice is a must. The style of garlic rice varies depending on the restaurant. Here, they make it crispy and it's incredibly delicious ✨ For the final course, you can choose from three options, which is great for someone like me who can never decide. The rookie sommelier is very charming and always sees us off to the exit. It's a routine for the chef, sommelier, and me to take a photo together. Since I order wine, the price per person is higher.

This is a restaurant located in Yase, inside the Exiv Yase Rikyu (a members-only hotel). Non-members can also use it. Reservations are required. On this day, it was a special course with nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch)!! On a cold winter day, the atmosphere in the mountains was fantastic. The quality of each ingredient was very high. Of course. It's not pretentious fusion Japanese cuisine, but the seasoning is simple and classic. I was planning to stay for about 4 hours, but the seats are on a rotation basis, so it was 2 hours (maybe 2 and a half hours?) Unfortunately... At the end, a lovely lady (probably the assigned staff) brought me a business card. I hope to visit again someday!

I had breakfast at the Japanese restaurant "Kareki" located within the Exiv Kyoto Yase Rikyu. This time, we had a 0-year-old child with us, so the restaurant kindly provided us with a private room. For breakfast, we had only one option, the "Japanese breakfast set." The food was served in a tiered box-like container, with small dishes in the first tier, tamagoyaki (rolled omelette) and salmon with Saikyo miso in the second tier, and salad in the third tier. The small dishes featured ingredients from Kansai, including rare red konjac. The pickles were also very Kyoto-like. The yudofu (tofu hot pot) was silky smooth, and although they brought soy sauce, it was already well-seasoned and delicious on its own. You could choose between white rice or okayu (rice porridge), and refills were also possible. It was a healthy Japanese breakfast.

I was surprised by the very stylish design of the annex we walked a little way from the hotel. The straight red corridor is impressive. It increases the excitement as you head to the breakfast table. The seat we were guided to was glass-covered! I was able to enjoy Japanese food in a pleasant atmosphere, feeling as if I were surrounded by nature. Enjoying warm and comforting Japanese food in such a wonderful place from the morning... I am happy! Thank you for the meal! ✨

I stayed at the hotel and had a meal in a traditional Japanese style. I could choose between rice porridge and white rice, but since I wasn't very hungry, I opted for the rice porridge. The portion size for each dish was small, but there were many dishes. The taste was average, nothing particularly memorable. I couldn't see the outside view at night, so I enjoyed a refreshing morning instead.

Stayed here ☺︎ It's about a 20-30 minute taxi ride from Kyoto Station. The location isn't great, but it's a quiet place so the atmosphere is nice, I guess? The Kahoroku is in a separate building within the large grounds, quite a walk. It feels quite far away~! You have to cross a bridge to get there, adding to the atmosphere. The interior is not dark, but the outside view is quite dim. It's a good atmosphere for any occasion, not just for a date. The food is all delicious, not mind-blowing but enjoyable. I feel like the Chinese cuisine in the Exiv is tastier personally. Breakfast here is just right. It's more about the luxury of the accommodation than the food here.

Kyoto was under a state of emergency for most of this summer. So, traveling was put on hold again this year. Instead, I decided to refresh myself nearby. This was my first time at "Exib Kyoto Hase Rikyu." Just like everywhere else, alcohol was not served in the restaurant. But they sold chilled alcoholic beverages at the shop, so it was nice to enjoy them in the room. (They even lent me a wine glass.) For dinner that day, I had the Japanese Teppanyaki seafood course "Kaede." Here's what it included: [Appetizer] Chef's special appetizer [Sashimi] Assorted sashimi of the day [Meat dish] Roast beef of Japanese black wagyu with salad [Fish dish] Fish dish of the day with ratatouille [Charcoal grill] Grilled vegetables over charcoal [Teppanyaki] Domestic abalone teppanyaki with salted kelp sauce [Meal] One dish from Japanese cuisine or fried rice or cold soba noodles [Dessert] Assorted dessert of the day After enjoying the crunchy texture of sea grapes and salmon roe in the appetizer, the sashimi assortment included the crispy texture of grilled shrimp heads. Despite being a seafood course, there was also black wagyu roast beef, which went well with my black oolong tea, so it took me a while to finish it (laughs). Of course, it was delicious!... I really started to miss having a meal with alcohol. The fish dish was red snapper, and the ratatouille with burdock roots and lotus roots was delicious! It made me want to try making it myself. And then the main dish, abalone. It was so big! (laughs) The salted kelp sauce made right in front of me on the teppan with sesame oil... it all looked so delicious. These moments are really wonderful, aren't they? It made me realize that food is not just about taste but also about visual, olfactory, auditory, time, space, and the flow of people and things. For the meal, I had chilled grated soba noodles. My partner had garlic fried rice... the tempting aroma almost made me give in, but I was too full to have more (laughs). We need to be careful not to overeat just because it's delicious, right? I can't wait for them to start serving alcohol again so I can enjoy even more delicious meals. It was a delicious and enjoyable time. Thank you for the feast.
