Kyoto, Japan｜Denshichi Sushi - Saiin

Really delicious sushi and a very reasonable price for Kyoto!!! We loved the unagi and negitoro especially, but everything was really fantastic. We seemed to be the only foreigners there so I assume it’s a local spot but they were still very accommodating and provided a menu in English which was appreciated. 100% recommend if you want delicious, reasonably priced sushi while in Kyoto!

A sushi bar where many locals from the neighbourhood convene. English menu available. Large fresh slices of fish, shellfish, or pickled vegetables on just the right amount of rice are served at the perfect temperature. I recommend trying the different seared tuna belly varieties on your first visit; they vary by fattiness and are true indulgences. But you really cannot go wrong here with any choice you make! It's all very delicious. Word of caution for those sensitive to smoke: smoking is permitted inside.

5 stars for the quality/price ratio. Not the best sushi in the world, but certainly better than most places and incredibly reasonably priced. A bit hard to find, but they do have an English menu when you get there! I wish they would've given us tea, like they did the other customers, but we only got water. Others walked in and just got it without asking. Need to brush up on my Japanese!
