Kyoto, Japan｜Ninenzaka Sushi Numoto

Amazing omakase sushi experience for a very fair price. Very fun sushi chef who is extremely professional skilled but also quite casual and easygoing. Great atmosphere speaking with him and neighbors. Never felt rushed or unwelcome. Food is absolutely spectacular, and there are many great drinks to choose from - I really recommend the sake.

Called to make a last-minute reservation and was surprised to find out later we snagged the last two seats in their 8-seater counter-only Omakase restaurant. Sushi was super fresh and matched the price we paid. Service was exceedingly warm and hospitable to wrap up a fine meal, including interactions with the chef and assistant between courses. Caveat: pictures do not depict the full course — some I ate in haste 😝

One of the best meals I have ever had in my life. The service was exceptional, the atmosphere with the other guests was perfect and fostered by the chef. It is an omakase only sushi restaurant so be prepared for that journey. For us it was perfect. We cannot thank the chef enough, a truly wonderful experience.
