Kyoto, Japan｜Yagenbori

Happy to have stumbled upon this restaurant! Chef/owner was always smiling, prepared everything so happily. Sashimi platter was so fresh, everything so good, as well as the beef and of course hot sake was not to miss. The shabu shabu experience was authentic! The ambiance was also very nice , felt very authentic overall and loved being there!

This restaurant was run by the owner and one staff, they were super friendly. Theu have an English menu. All dishes were delicate and delicious. It is difficult to pick my favourite, just because they were all good. It was not a cheap lunch, but it was worthwhile.

Did not book a reservation and managed to walk in as the first customers at 6pm for dinner on a Monday. Chef was really friendly and cracked jokes with us while meticulously preparing our courses. The Kaiseki was very authentic and delicious especially the specialty Omi beef course. Staff were also very respectful and friendly. Highly recommend trying this place out for Kaiseki especially since other places usually require reservations a few days in advance.
