It was a wonderful dining experience. Although it was mostly standard dishes, the seasoning and presentation were very meticulous. It was a lovely place that made you want to eat more even after you had finished, and the atmosphere inside the restaurant was excellent. There were many regular customers, and the conversations with the staff were lively. I am a foreigner and not very good at Japanese, but I was able to fully enjoy the pleasant atmosphere. I have food allergies, but the staff kindly checked the ingredients multiple times, and I felt very well taken care of. I strongly recommend making a reservation and going to dine at 'Shinba'!

The food was delicious, and the drinks were good as well. The atmosphere of the restaurant felt calm, and there were quite a few locals present. Although I visited alone, I think I was able to fully enjoy my experience.

Every dish was carefully prepared and incredibly delicious. I was especially surprised by the blended sake. I, who was not good with hot sake, ended up drinking two servings. I wanted to go again and made a reservation for next time.

It was a restaurant as expected. I felt it was a good restaurant in every aspect. I was very satisfied with the dishes, including conger eel, sweetfish, hairy crab, and sake. I will visit again when I come to Kyoto.

Anyway, the side dishes are delicious! Moreover, they listen to the customers' whims. There was a dish of gurnard sashimi on the menu, so I asked if they could make gurnard tempura, and they created a wonderfully delicious plate. I was very satisfied. The marinated fish was also perfect in taste, size, and color. The grilled pufferfish roe was the best, and the sashimi platter was needless to say. There was also soft-shelled turtle on the menu, so I will definitely try that next time. I hope that since it's an izakaya, it won't be too crowded so I can drop by without making a reservation, but well, that might be impossible...

It would be better if the menu had a Chinese version! As for the price, it is on the higher side, but the service attitude is a plus!

When I visited the restaurant, a woman who might be the owner greeted me with the words "00-san, we have been waiting for you. I was very impressed to be greeted by a woman who said, "00-san, we have been waiting for you" (in Kyoto dialect). I was very impressed. She stopped coming soon after, so I thought she was someone who did not stand in the restaurant. The hospitality, the sake, and the food were all wonderful. All the customers around us were smiling as they drank and ate.

The atmosphere, the service of everyone in the restaurant, and the high level of snacks are all good. I was surprised at the final bill. I thought it would be at least 10,000 yen per person, but it was 7,000 yen. We were very satisfied with our meal, which included a guji, a throat blackfish over 40 centimeters long, three kinds of sea urchin, and a variety of other dishes, as well as a large amount of sake.
