Nice location near the river. The service is fast and efficient and the à la carte dishes provide an overview of this varied cuisine.

I made a reservation for dinner on the first day of my trip to Kyoto.A dreamy riverbed. It's fun to eat while looking at a beautiful view. It was extremely hot during the day, but the natural breeze felt good. However, it can't be helped since it's a popular Kawadoko, but the tables are small and the tables next to each other are close together, making it feel a bit cramped.For the mini kaiseki meal, you can choose one dish of your choice in addition to several small obanzai dishes. Everything was delicious, but the pickles and oden were a bit too ordinary. Even though it's Kyoto home cooking, I wish they'd served something a little more elaborate. The dish I chose, conger eel tempura, was delicious.The staff at the store were very nice on the phone, when I entered the store, and when I left the store (probably all by the same guy), so I was glad I chose this place.

The service is a bit disorganized.For the dishes what is interesting is to make their discovery set with lots of things to eat..It's still good but not extraordinary either.

Although it has a terrace facing Pontocho and the Kamogawa River (on the same level as Kawadoko), I think it is a famous restaurant with reasonable prices, food, customer service, and everything else.
