• Handy location, nice view

We went twice in Kyoto, once for lunch and once for dinner, the set menus being fairly similar for each. Handy location if you are going to the national museum or the Sanjusangendo. Overall it is a little bit overpriced but the view almost makes up for it. Beer and wine are okay. Slightly odd rules for the lunch too, there were only 10 set lunches available for the day. Bought some cakes to takeaway - the sponge was okay but the muffin was pretty stale. Honestly I am struggling to remember much to say about the food but it was at least okay and a fair portion. The service was okay, both times they seemed quite standoffish towards us western Gaijin but were very chatty with locals. No particular complaints but wouldn't say it was a warm welcome either, especially when the place didn't look like it ever got that busy. Again, if you are in Kyoto, you will probably end up trying it at some point!
