Kyoto, Japan｜Hachiraku

Very tasty Chinese food but Kyoto style, meaning no use of garlic and oil, so maiko's kimono don't smell afterwards. For a foreigner, basically this means to encounter a more delicate take on Chinese food, one crafted á la Japanese. The couple behind the bar are very nice, and eager to engage with the customer, enriching the whole experience, and making it a deep peek into Kyoto's culinary lifestyle.

Delicious food and vibe from the nicest couple you could imagine. Definitely worth it.

Kyoto Chinese with a very gentle taste. Since it was just the two of us, we had a lot of fun with the course. Every dish tasted good. Especially good were the appetizer cold vegetables and salty crab balls. Sweet and sour pork and fried rice are also elegant. Almond tofu was also exquisite. It is also a good feeling that the proprietress is very kind and soft customer service.
