Kyoto, Japan｜Berangkat

We couldn't make a reservation for days (fully booked), but one evening we were passing by, we were hungry and we got invited in, just as they had been already done with taking the "last order". Very nice! We only got some bites, but everything was so tasty! They also offered some sochu with coffee beans inside, which was terrific! Moreover, they spoke English (we obviously don't expect that from anyone in their own country) and everybody was too nice and hospitable! Highly recommended, if you can book in advance.

Berangkat is the best. Comfortable, friendly, delicious, but hard to get a booking. If you get in, don't order, just let them decide for you. And stay until the end when the onigiri are made. Love the sparkling nihon-shu (sake): Kaze no Mori

Writing as I'm sat here - couldn't resist! Arrived 8:30pm, for a table immediately (whole room to ourselves actually). Only Japanese menu. But the staff are so accommodating and helpful as Japanese are. Love love love! They just brought us out their recommended dishes instead of choosing our own. Dish after dish was better and better. (Hope I didn't jinx myself now for the next rounds to come :p ) Cash only. Japanese menu only. Super friendly. Fusion Japanese tapas style dishes. Heads up .. You got to be a coriander lover! Tofu mash with coriander Mango meat celery fresh salad Dim sum pork and lamb Tofu and meat Curry ... Waiting for the next!
