Kyoto, Japan｜Kanesho

This is hard to find restaurant inside of the alley. However, this is something that you should not miss when you are in Kyoto. I ordered the grilled Eel rice bowl. They served me the rice bowl with a pot of tea on the side, in which I poured it over in my rice bowl. The eel had sweet-savory in flavor and had soft in texture. The strong flavor of the eel was balanced out because of subtle flavor of the tea. The service was outstanding! The whole experience was amazing. Food: Excellent Service: Excellent Ambiance: Excellent

Best to call and make reservation since there are only 14 seats per sitting, i.e. 2 tables of 4 and 6 counter seats, at 5.30pm and 7pm. Walk-in chances are very low. Waited an hour before food was served but it was well worth it. The best unagi don we ever had, the eel is not as sweet as what we used to for those available in Singapore. The sliced omelette added texture to the dish. For those who can take spicy food, do add the red chilli powder which will enhance the whole experience 😋

Very good unagi don , small restaurant not recommend for big group
