After attending a seminar in Kyoto, we visited Mr. Fujihara's restaurant. It used to be a regular in the Michelin Guide, and this time we were able to confirm the excellence of their dishes once again. There seemed to be two courses available, and we opted for the 13,000 yen course this time. It was a night when our appetite wasn't great due to the hot weather, but we managed to finish all the dishes. The meal started with an appetizer (abalone and water shield jelly) and steamed eel sushi, which really stimulated our appetite. Among the sashimi, the conger eel left the most impression. It's usually best in autumn, but the grilled conger eel here was delicious with a nice oily texture. Unexpectedly, a lobster dish was served in the grilled course, and it was satisfyingly large. The deep-fried eggplant was a classic Japanese dish and stood out even compared to other restaurants. The sweetfish was also delicious. It was not the usual grilled dish we often have at other places, but a fried preparation, which made it very refreshing. I will definitely revisit if I have the chance.

A restaurant in Gion! A la carte menu is convenient to use. I could eat my favorite dishes, and the fish was very delicious! The meat melted in my mouth and I could eat as much as I wanted!! I wish I could eat it for the rest of my life. A la carte is really great ♡ The head chef was also very nice, and I had a fun time eating.

Despite making a last-minute reservation (one day off), they kindly accommodated us and recommended various dishes. The seasonal delicacies and their recommended duck were very delicious. The red snapper sashimi and eggplant were also very tasty. The head chef was friendly and the atmosphere was very comfortable. I would like to visit again.

I visited for the first time for a business meeting. Overall, I didn't feel much delicacy, but I think the prices are reasonable. The food is served at a good pace (quickly), making it easy to eat without stress. I think it's good for business use.

I visited with my best friend on August 10th before the Bon festival. They prepared a private room at the back for us. Despite the summer heat, we enjoyed the taste of autumn through Fujihara-san's dishes. The eggplant miso dish was exquisite. It was delicious.

Wandering around Gion Shijo on a Sunday. Everywhere seems to be in holiday mode. However, stumbled upon a restaurant with noren curtains and warm lights. Took a chance and asked if we could get in at Kappo Fujihara - lucky us, we could. Opted for the chef's choice menu. Every dish served was delicate and exquisitely flavored. The presentation was also outstanding. Truly the work of skilled artisans. A top-notch establishment in Gion indeed. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I visited on the first night in Kyoto. This place had received favorable reviews from four MyRebi members, and I was drawn to the sashimi portion displayed on the store's homepage. Since it's a traditional Japanese restaurant, I wondered if it would be better to choose dishes from the menu, but this time I reserved a course for 10,000 yen (excluding tax and service charge) through the internet. I mentioned my husband's dislikes - sansho pepper, green onions, and myoga - and they accommodated our preferences. The restaurant has counter seats as well as private rooms. Of course, we requested counter seats. Inside the counter, there were the head chef and his son? working together. There was also an apprentice who brought drinks. We toasted with draft beer and oolong tea. The meal started with steamed clam and junsa, steamed sushi with conger eel, grilled cutlassfish, tuna, sea bream, sea urchin, grilled vegetables and sea bass, Kamo eggplant dengaku, sweetfish, lotus root, and trefoil tempura, and duck steamed bun. Most of the dishes were prepared by the son? The steamed clam and junsa and steamed sushi with conger eel served at the beginning were appetizing, and the grilled vegetables and sea bass with a slightly sweet and salty soy sauce flavor using butter had a surprising twist. The twist was not unwelcome but added a delicious accent. The sashimi portion was as pictured, with each piece being small, perfect for my husband's taste. He was very pleased, saying "this amount is just right" (laughs). The Kamo eggplant dengaku was a bit strong in flavor, but my husband said, "This miso goes well with sake." The duck steamed bun had a hot, thickened filling with a kick of ginger, warming the stomach. For the meal, instead of shredded mountain pepper, regular pepper was used. The dessert, a fruit and jelly water dish, was also delicious, and the course ended. The payment for that day was around 28,000 yen for two people. Overall, the flavors of the dishes were rich and slightly intense, different from the courses I usually have in Kyoto. The portion sizes were small. Our family was satisfied with just the right amount, but those who eat a lot might find it a bit lacking. However, since it's a traditional Japanese restaurant, you can order additional dishes. The drink menu had prices listed. As for single dishes, I did not see the details, so I'm not sure. My husband enjoyed talking with the head chef about shrines and temples and asking about the Atago Shrine amulets often seen at Kyoto's Japanese restaurants. We had a delightful time ♫ It seems like it would be difficult to go get an amulet, but I definitely want my husband to visit before the year ends and bring one for our kitchen. Ease of reservation: ★★★★★ Likelihood of revisiting: ★★★☆☆ We enjoyed the meal very much. Thank you for the feast!

I came to Fujihara-san's restaurant in Gion with some friendly colleagues in the same industry to drink, as it was crowded everywhere on the weekend and they were the only place available after calling six places. Honestly, we were so engrossed in work discussions that we didn't eat much and I don't even remember the taste of the food or what we ate \(//∇//)\ The only photo I have is of firefly squid. However, I still think that surviving in Gion is no easy feat, so I believe it must be a decent restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

I had such a great time chatting with the chef that I forgot to take photos. The taste is exceptionally delicious! It's not cheap, but the price matches the quality. The conversation with the chef was fantastic, and it was a lovely time. I will definitely visit again!

It's nice that you can order a la carte! This time, I dined in a private room with a friend, but next time I want to dine alone at the counter. I'm happy that they have natural eel on the menu.

The softshell turtle hot pot is delicious, the cabbage is tender, but the stew is not great. The smell in the restroom is a concern. The counter seats are good, and the chef is fantastic. It's better to order a la carte.

I made a reservation as I had some business in Kyoto. The street between Kawaramachi and Gion Shijo was very crowded, but the restaurant was slightly off the main path. It was a Sunday and due to the effects of a typhoon rendering Kansai International Airport unusable, we were the only ones in the restaurant. The interior had a traditional Japanese-style feel to it. It seemed like the owner and one other staff member were running the place. We hadn't decided on a specific menu, but we were overwhelmed by the variety offered. Eventually, we ordered the 10,000 yen chef's choice course. Seasonal Kyoto dishes like conger eel and Kamo eggplant were served one after another. The dishes mainly consisted of fish and vegetables, all of which had amazing flavors. The owner's stories were entertaining, making us want to visit the restaurant again if we come back to Kyoto.

It was delicious.

Kyoto Kaigi 2020 =========== The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant!
