Kyoto, Japan｜Gyatei

Chance upon this place while searching for lunch, saw that they have this set meal, which looks really pretty. Autumn menu at the moment! For 2500 yen, it's really very worth it! We avoided lunch timing, so the queue was really fast. The food was really good as well, love the Japanese food presentation!

We came here based on the recommendation of our rickshaw driver. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Although not as elegant, tastes were on par with a fine tasting menu. Diverse and flavorful at a bargain price.

Having the lunch bento here was like a small exciting journey of flavors. The presentation was beautiful and each dish had a wonderful combination of flavors and textures that made the whole meal an experience rather than simply filling one's stomach. The flight of sake was wonderful too. :)
