Kyoto, Japan｜Gohan-ya Isshin Kyoto

Fantastic spot for dinner. We didn’t have a reservation, but I think it’s probably better if you do. I love that you take your shoes off when you enter the restaurant; the tatami mat floors and open kitchen is nice and modern. Everything we got was delicious, especially the black cod and braised pork.

We had an amazing dinner with incredible food, the staff was super helpful, and made great effort to help us as we were only speaking english, they also gave us an English menu, which is nice. Special note to the grilled salmon and the pumpkin cream brulee, they were truly amazing, I also really loved the black bean tea, incredible smoky taste. (Everything was delicious). 100% would recommend this restaurant. I advice you to make a reservation beforehand, we first came on a Friday night and it was full.

Food was absolutely amazing! Interior is very nice and modern. You’ll need to take your shoes off. There’s a menu in English available and few members of staff speak some English. Portions are small, so you’ll need to order at least 6 dishes for two people. Also a great place to just have some drinks with delicious appetizers.
