日本料理 一凛

美味しいものだけでお腹いっぱいにできる場所。
、、っていうとチープに聞こえるかも知れませんが、ホントそのままのお店です。特に八寸が圧巻。

「本当に美味いもの」を厳選して素材を活かして調理する。
単純で至極当然な事なんですけどね。
ただそれを実現し続けるって商売としてとても難しい事だと思うんですよね。

それを実現している数少ないお店だと思います。

ひとつひとつ、丁寧に調理され、見た目も美しく、大満足です。美味しいお食事でいつも身も心も満たされてます。

綺麗に整った落ち着いた店内のカウンターで数々の美味しい料理をいただきました。「京料理」と言う概念がそもそもない (そうです) 京都の料理を堪能しました。何手間もかけた繊細な料理と合わせてもらった珍しい日本酒を堪能しました。

接待で利用させて頂きました。
感じのよい接客とおもてなしがすごくよかったです。ミシュランの名店。店内の雰囲気がよく丁寧に清掃されていた。
和食は全体的に優しい味でした。

Everything is exceptional, literally every single detail. From the stone paved entrance, to the service (we don't speak Japanese and none of the staff/chef speak any English), the food of course is beautiful, and even the containers (lack of a better word) that hold the food are all carefully thought out. A must visit for anyone that not only loves food, but also to savour every bite, to ponder upon the reason that the dish is prepared and presented in such a way. Eg.shreds of crab coated with vinegar in a form of jelly, genius I would say, imagine that vs crab dipped in vinegar? And everything is seasonal so if we go during summer (we went during mid Jan) everything will be entirely different. All of this doesn't come cheap though, ours was 20000 yen per head (another option is 12000 yen) plus 10% service charge, plus tax. The place is not easy to find, we took a taxi from the hotel (we stayed at Shinjuku). Will visit again next time.

Michelin restaurant which you need to book in advance including an idea of the menu choice - serving only courses and seasonal - so depending on when you go you'll enjoy something special for that time of year or what is 'in season'

Highly recommend also going with the pairing for the drinks - depending on season of dishes served you'll get a variety of tastes and flavours to match from beer, crisp or sweet whites, dry, light or heavy reds, cold, warm sweet or dry nihonshu thru others.if you don't drink alcohol then there is a tea's etc

We've been on several occasions as a couple and with clients as a small group - the restaurant is only small with a handful of tables and a few counter seats - this is the style so that each dinner can enjoy the chef (owners) personal touch and experience

Food and service has always been exception when we have been and would highly recommend

As you'd except the pricing is there to match the quality, exclusivity and service

We still haven't, or my wife may have, taken a photo with the chef (apologies i forget his name) and one of his trade mark styles - he wears the geta to see you off and they are dreadfully noise in the small street outside - the restaurant is also somewhere you'll not happen to walk passed as its in a residential area on the second floor of an unassuming fairly modern styled building

Highly recommend for the personal dining experience
