Kyoto, Japan｜Nakamura

Every dish is beautifully and delicately presented. Service is top-notch: the staff was already at the porch welcoming us when we arrived and during lunch explained in detail what each dish was. Definitely an experience in and of itself.

Amazing place to experience a keiseki meal from a master chef. The flavours were subtle and well constructed. The pacing and portion sizes were well done. The service was impeccable with all the small details, including the tableware used for each course. The rooms are also well thought out with nice touches like a heated floorboard. They also have filters and CO2 monitors, important for staying COVID safe and perhaps critical for some people to feel comfortable dining out for a long meal. All in all, a great meal.

Yu was a great server! Loved the private room and service. As a North American used to moving along quickly so took a bit to get used to getting time to enjoy the meal and my wife's company... But wish more restaurants in North America give you time to enjoy. Food was good too, many new dishes to try and experience. Most memorable dish was the white miso soup. Everything was good but that stands out.
