We came all the way from a distant place to enjoy sightseeing in Arashiyama with a friend, and then moved to Kawaramachi where we walked through Nishiki Market. My friend requested to eat Kyoto vegetables, so we searched on Tabelog and called this restaurant. The first time we called, they were fully booked for early hours but had availability for later hours. We initially gave up, but when we inquired at another restaurant, they suggested even later hours. The friendly and helpful response from the man when we called this restaurant made us decide to go there after all. A friend who was helping me search for restaurants made the second call and we visited for dinner. The restaurant has a deep layout with a glass-walled kitchen visible as soon as you enter. We were guided to a private room with tatami mats, which was spacious and had a scroll hanging in the alcove and a small garden visible when opening the shoji screens, giving a perfect image of the streets of Pontocho. My friend from out of town was delighted, saying it felt like a Kyoto restaurant! The menu had many options, all looking delicious, so we were indecisive. Since we can come back anytime, we let our sightseeing friend choose what they wanted to eat. We also asked the staff for some Kyoto-style dishes. Here are the dishes we ordered: - Three-color nama-fu (wheat gluten) tango: Cute and photo-worthy, smooth and creamy texture with flavorful miso. - Kujo green onion dashimaki tamago: Fluffy dashimaki tamago with a gentle sauce, a comforting dish. - Ebiimo (taro) tempura with matcha salt: A desired dish by my friend, with a pleasantly textured ebiimo. - Chicken soboro ankake gohan: A hot pot of rice with plenty of vegetables and chicken soboro, a comforting dish. - Beef tendon stew: Tenderly cooked beef tendon stew with two types of konjac. - Kumiage yuba (tofu skin) and sea bream carpaccio: A recommended dish by the staff, with a refreshing combination of yuba, vegetables, and tender sea bream. - Kagawa udon wrapped in beef loin with sweet soy sauce flavor: A creative dish with soft Kagawa udon wrapped in beef, a unique combination. All the dishes were delicious, and my friend from out of town was very pleased. Despite the large group we came with, the staff was very polite, smiling, and provided attentive service, changing plates and showing consideration. I am truly grateful for the experience. The restaurant also offers Kawadoko dining in the summer, although reservations may be hard to come by. If you are going with someone special, consider this restaurant as a candidate. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I randomly walked into this place, but it was amazing ♥︎ There are many similar shops in Pontocho, so I didn't know which one was good, but I saw the menu outside and was guided to this place. It was a riverside dining experience, and the atmosphere was amazing. The dishes included shrimp and Kyoto vegetable tempura, tender pork belly stew, shrimp and bacon cream cheese yuba roll, Misamoya special salad, sweet sea bream grilled in the Kyoto style, and a grapefruit and black tea non-alcoholic cocktail, which was recommended and delicious. The food was overall delicious, but the drinks were incredibly tasty. I couldn't drink alcohol, so I only had this, but my mother ordered an original cocktail and also praised it. The detailed and polite drink explanations by the staff, the impeccable speed of serving the dishes, the fantastic atmosphere, and the reasonable prices made me really like this place. I randomly walked into this place, but I really liked it. The bill was around ¥9,000 for two people. I will definitely come back.

Summer has arrived in Kyoto. After a long time, my friends gathered in Kyoto. The city is abnormally crowded. People everywhere. Pontocho is mostly filled with foreign tourists. It's amazing. We visited "The Misumaya" restaurant. There were also many foreign customers. Western customers who are not used to taking off their shoes were bustling at the entrance. We ordered the Noryo Yuka course for 8470 yen. The menu is as follows: - Appetizer: Chiyo Hisashi (Omi beef simmered in shigure) - Kyoto roll with raw gluten and yuba - Roast duck breast - Angel shrimp umani - Hishaku egg tofu - Tai and Hamo oil dish - Hamo manju with plum - Octopus namasu - Yuzu grilled beef fillet steak - Plum soup with Kamo eggplant, carrot, greens, shrimp, and Tanba - Tai soboro sushi box - Minced handball fu with red dashi - Dessert: Matcha pudding with black honey, flower fu simmered in honey (menu based on Tabelog) The early summer in June by the Kamogawa River is still not too hot, making it comfortable. Thank you for the delicious meal. Summer 2023.

I was taken there for the first time, and it had a gentle Kyoto-style seasoning that was fantastic. The taste and atmosphere were great. It's a great place to have a proper meal or just go for drinks. The staff were efficient and provided pleasant service. I will definitely visit again.

My friend came from Kanto, so I visited Kamogawa Noryotei for the first time in a while. Since June is the rainy season and July, August, and mid-September are too hot, I thought that this time of year is the best, and it turned out to be true. As the sun set, it was a little chilly in short sleeves. The course at the Noryotei was 6,930 yen, draft beer was 700 yen, and a highball was 700 yen. The dishes came out in the order of the photos. They remembered what I couldn't eat when I made the reservation, which was very much appreciated. The taste was neither good nor bad, just average. Since the cost is mainly for the location at the Noryotei, it's not a problem. It's nice to be able to enjoy a meal slowly while feeling the flow of the Kamogawa River. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal!

I visited a Japanese restaurant in Pontocho and reserved a course with a riverside terrace to enjoy the Kamo River cool summer breeze. The course included: 1. Appetizers: Omi beef simmered in shigure, Kyoto-style roll with fresh gluten and yuba, duck breast, angel shrimp simmered, egg tofu, and miso-marinated tofu. 2. Sashimi: Sea bream. 3. Fried dish: Conger eel dumpling with plum meat. 4. Palate cleanser: Octopus and vinegar salad with yuzu from Kochi Prefecture. 5. Grilled dish: Charcoal-grilled Tanba chicken and shrimp paste. 6. Special dishes: Plum soup with Kamo eggplant, carrot, greens, shrimp, and sea bream, minced box sushi, hand-rolled wheat gluten, red miso soup. 7. Dessert: Matcha pudding with black honey and flower-shaped wheat gluten simmered in syrup. The weather was nice, and I enjoyed my meal listening to the gentle flow of the Kamo River. The service was a bit lacking, maybe because the staff were temporary workers. I would like to try dining at a riverside terrace in Kibune next time.

I was looking forward to it, but it was disappointing. Maybe this is the standard for a course meal (without drinks) of around 6000 yen in Pontocho, but there was no main dish. The final blow was that two drinks that I didn't order were included, and if I had been drunk, I would have ended up paying for them. Luckily, I noticed when I saw the bill. Human errors are inevitable and should be watched over with warmth, some might say, but this was bound to happen. They even served a dish to a foreign customer sitting next to me at the counter, claiming it was a service even though it wasn't ordered. It may be because of Golden Week, but the young manager-like staff on the second floor seemed overwhelmed and couldn't manage properly. I would like to give it a 1, but considering the price, the taste is not bad, so this is the rating. I realized once again that not only taste but also service, or rather staff education and management, are important for a restaurant. It was a disappointing end to my Kyoto trip. I ended up going to another bar for a drink.

It was a stylish townhouse. The food was delicious. It had been over 20 years since I last saw my friend, so we ended up staying longer than expected (until closing time) because we were having such a great time catching up. The staff were attentive until the end. I drove, so I didn't drink alcohol. My friend had about three drinks, and we ordered 7 dishes, which came to around 5,000 yen per person. It might be a bit lacking in quantity for men, but we were completely satisfied and enjoyed our time in Pontocho. We want to revisit with our families. The area was bustling with foreign tourists.

I tried to make a reservation for a summer trip to Kyoto before, but it was quite full. This time, during the winter off-season, I was lucky to get a reservation a few days ago. I was seated at a table by the window overlooking the river, which was a great location. We didn't drink much, but we both ate to our hearts' content and it cost us less than 10,000 yen, which was a great value. The food was overall casual but delicious.

Fifth stop on my Kyoto food adventure. I missed out on dining at a restaurant with a view of the Kamogawa River last time I was in Kyoto, so this time I made a reservation to ensure I could experience it. I couldn't find any good options online, so I stumbled upon this restaurant in the early afternoon. Luckily, I was able to make a same-day reservation online. The terrace seats were full, but I was seated indoors with a view of the Kamogawa River. The cool and dimly lit atmosphere was very calming, and just being able to gaze at the river made me happy. The fact that the seat fee was only 300 yen for this view was a nice bonus. The classic Kyoto dishes like sliced yuba sashimi and three-color nama-fu dengaku were delicious, as well as the creative dishes like grilled mountain pepper chicken thigh and garlic rice with wagyu beef. The garlic rice had plenty of bonito flakes and a delicate garlic flavor that was so tasty, I couldn't stop eating it even when full. Most dishes were around 1,000 yen each, so I thought it was a good value for this location. The attentive and friendly service from the staff also left a lasting impression. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants to enjoy delicious food with a view of the Kamogawa River in Kyoto, as well as for those planning a trip to Kyoto! (*˘︶˘*).｡*♡

I made a reservation for a riverside dining experience on Saturday at 7:15 PM in Pontocho. The restaurant is a townhouse that is over 100 years old. I enjoyed a glass of sparkling wine during the sunset by the Kamogawa River, starting with appetizers like conger eel and eggplant, typical Kyoto ingredients, in a 5700 yen course. The atmosphere was casual Japanese cuisine. The service was a bit slow due to the lack of staff, but the restaurant was full. I made the reservation online under the name "Mimasya Honten," but on the map and on Tabelog, it is listed as "the Mimasya," causing confusion as there are other branches, including an Italian restaurant. It was a hot day at 38 degrees, but there was a nice breeze from the river for my first riverside dining experience.

The shop along the river had a great view. It was renovated in the style of an old Japanese house, with low ceilings like in the past. It didn't feel cramped, and was stylishly renovated, making it a great place for dates or meals. The food was also served very carefully. Normally there would be a lot of inbound tourists, but now there are none, so I was able to enjoy a quiet meal and I am satisfied. I would like to visit this restaurant again when I go to Kyoto.

I made a reservation and visited the restaurant at 5:30 on Friday. We had the 6800 yen course with a summer veranda, but unfortunately, it was raining that day so we were seated indoors on the second floor. We still had a nice view of the Kamo River from our window-side table and the staff's hospitality was great. The course meal was a bit too rich for my taste, but the fillet meat was delicious. We also ordered the sirloin steak as an extra and paired it with red wine. The wine menu had three options for both white and red, and we tried them all. Each wine was well thought out in terms of genre and taste differentiation.

I wanted to use the seating along the Kamo River at 5:00 pm, but ended up choosing the indoor seating with air conditioning. I got a nice seat with a view of the river as I entered quickly. By 6:00 pm, the place was fully booked. I had a Kirin Ichiban Shibori (draft beer) for 600 yen and an Oolong tea for 500 yen. Last time I had the set meal for 1,400 yen, but this time I ordered fried eggplant and crispy chicken with spicy vinegar soy sauce for 800 yen, and a regular size (80 grams) of Wagyu sirloin for 2,300 yen. We also had two glasses of red wine from France for 900 yen each, and another glass for 700 yen. The total bill for two people was 9,348 yen. I would definitely like to visit this restaurant again.

I found a riverside dining restaurant and arrived early to find it open. I ended up sitting indoors on the second floor with a view of the Kamogawa River because I had walked too much and was hot. However, the view of the river was amazing and the indoor seating was cool, so it was actually a good choice. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was nice and the staff were very friendly. I enjoyed a creative appetizer platter and some delicious meat dishes. It was so good that I forgot to take photos and ended up indulging in drinks. It was a great way to end my trip to Kyoto by finding such a good restaurant.

I went for a night stroll in Kyoto and visited Pontocho. There were many wonderful shops. The atmosphere of the shops was very nice, and the food was delicious and prepared with great care.

The restaurant was labeled as an izakaya, so I wasn't expecting much, but the male and female servers were very polite and attentive, which was impressive. The food was delicious, and all the guests from Europe enjoyed it. Thank you very much.

The portion size of the dishes is not very filling for the price, so you have to order quite a bit to feel satisfied. The taste is not bad though. Also, the lighting is a bit dim, making it hard to see the food clearly. It would be nice if it were a bit brighter.

I used the riverbed at night. The reservation was for 5 pm, with a stay time of 2 and a half hours, and we requested the best course of 8 dishes, but we were served 3 dishes at the beginning, and more dishes kept coming even though we hadn't finished eating. In about 30 minutes, we were already at the main meat dish. Despite other seats being available, we felt rushed, and even though we tried to chat a bit after dessert, we ended up leaving after only 1 and a half hours. The crucial dishes also lacked flavor, with the broth being too light and the meat sauce being too little and lacking basic taste. I am from Kyoto, so I am used to light flavors, but it was still too bland, even embarrassing for the person I brought from the Kanto region. I thought there would be no mistake since other Mizumasya restaurants were delicious, so it's disappointing.

The 6000 yen course with all-you-can-drink option at the Kyoto-style restaurant was reasonably delicious. The assorted appetizers and sashimi were the most delicious. The grated gold time carrot had a strange taste.

The aroma of incense is nice and the atmosphere is good. The food is delicious, but the soda in the soda water was too weak.

The interior of the restaurant feels a bit dark. The taste and atmosphere are both good.
