Kyoto, Japan｜Mizuki

Booked a sushi omakase lunch here the day of and it was fabulous. The service, decor, and atmosphere was what you would expect from Ritz Carlton which was phenomenal. The sushi chef Watanabe provided a colored printout of the seasonal fishes which helped guide us through the meal. Overall, it was great value for 12 pieces of nigiri and the dessert was delicious (I don't like desserts). Can't go wrong for the lunch sushi omakase price here.

Another amazing 1* Michelin Restaurant - better than the one at Ritz Carlton Osaka! From a price to experience comparison, this one beats the other experience hands down. Somehow the food was better when paired together with 3 different types of salt, lemon, and tempura sauce. Service was also better as the staff interacted with you and you get to see the sous chef prepare for the tempura chef right in front of your eyes. The taste of their tempura set dinner course hit the spot with every spoonful you take, as the chef explains each dish and how it should be best enjoyed. There are various side courses that come along the dinner service (Tofu, Sashimi, Salad) and they serve you a welcome champagne upon arrival if you drink. You get a choice of the final rice dish (up to 3 options if you chose the premium set menu) which includes an Uji egg with caviar on rice. Friendly team, great service and amazing taste! Go get it!

Whenever thinking of Omakase, I’ll think of Mizuki. The 2 hours’ dining experience here is overwhelming & fulfilling. Quality of both food and service is top-notch.
