Kyoto, Japan｜Gion Iwamoto

We had dinner there a couple of weeks ago while visiting Kyoto. Made reservation through hotel. Very reasonable price for great Kaiseki experience. Every dish was well-presented and full of flavors. We don't speak any Japanese, but the lady was very friendly and explain all dishes, like ingredients, how to eat, etc., making the whole dining very enjoyable. Highly recommended.

I made a reservation for dinner through 一休 Ikyu. Having tried Kaiseki dinner in Kyoto many times, I find the one served by Mr Iwamoto to be the best. He served every dish, which was all very fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, in an utmost delicate manner. It was a pity that I didn’t speak Japanese, but Mr Iwamoto tried his very best to explain and talk to me in English. Thank you so much Mr Iwamoto for the amazing dining experience. I loved everything, especially the snapper rice! I would suggest all those who want good kaiseki cuisine forget all those big names and just come here and I guarantee you will not regret.

Fantastic food and service. Really worthy of the price!!! Highly recommend it if you are in town!!!!
