Kyoto, Japan｜Sushi Naritaya

A simple sushi restaurant where we were greeted with big smiles all around. The staff were super friendly, and the food was so fresh. Every bit of the sushi bowl tasted amazing, and the unagi was cooked just right. We were so glad to be two of the 60 customers they serve every day and hope we get to visit again.

Came here close to closing time and there was no line. It's a small place, so we were lucky to get a spot. Ordered the Sakura sushi set and it was delicious! The fish was a generous cut and the rice was cooked perfectly. The staff is also very friendly. Definitely recommended!

Fantastic sushi bowls around the Arashiyama area. The small, homey restaurant only has 16 seats total; my party of 8 got in at the perfectly lucky time that we did. The fish was very fresh, delicious, and expertly prepared to bring out such flavor. The sushi rice was perhaps the stickiest I’ve had in a while, but the vinegar mix in it complimented the fish very well. I was very happy to have dined here. I will return here in case I return to Kyoto. Oh, and they have refillable self-service hot or cold green tea from an automatic dispenser (I forgot to take a picture!).
