This kappo restaurant is located in an alley in the Gion neighborhood. The three-hour omakase course, which is a perfect match between the apprentice and the owner, Yujiro Maeda, is so good that you will reach the end of the course in no time at all. Reservations are relatively easy to make if you inquire in advance, which is appreciated in Kyoto, where many restaurants are difficult to reserve.

The owner opened this restaurant in Ginza 8-chome at the age of 33, after training for 10 years at the long-established sushi restaurant "Kyubei" and 6 years at "Sushi Takumi". His one-of-a-kind sushi, which combines old-fashioned Edomae-style sushi with a unique flavor, immediately became popular, so much so that there is now a six-month waiting list for reservations.
