i ate here 2 weeks ago. worth every penny. the atmosphere, service, and food were all beyond amazing. my friend who's not a foodie has since reconsidered his stance on food after experiencing this place.
It's not the expensive ingredients but the crazy number of combination of flavors that most impressed me. It takes a lot of brains to create something simple delicate and flavorful and not done to death (to impress the uninitiated). Traditionally the chef writes the menu in calligraphy. Japanese food is known for being less spicy and less oily than other cuisines so some of it may seem too bland. The buckwheat walnut sponge cake was unusual but I can see why it works with the fruit and caramel sauce. Also, adding mitsuba to the rice with roe instead of shiso was inspiring, much more subtle. My favorite was the Cured Karasumi with cuttlefish(calamari), and yes, both ingredients are also used in Italian cuisine. I think this is the best Kaiseki video I've seen on YT.
Thank you for all your videos. When I went to Paris (Japan is a bit far…)it really helped me selecting some of the Michelin restaurants. I really liked Maison Rostang and Meurice. Great job again.
Amazing cuisine and pure class . A private room ? That’s incredible. The quintessence of luxury . Amazing dish and the ingredients look like little precious . Wonderful atmosphere . I think that’s one of the best place in terms of class and appeal . Great video as always A fan from Copenhagen
And a private restroom. Kikunoi is not a ripoff, and its regular price is less the half of this. A half of the price of the course of this video comes from just a one dish, which is winter Kyoto crab (called Taiza crab). Otherwise, Kikunoi’s charge is usually $300~, which I consider “quite” reasonable for the quality, service, etc.
May I ask how you made a reservation? I am asking because due to some foreign tourists previous no-shows, they won’t take reservations from foreigners 😢
Did u eat puffer fish? I was just curious about it. I know some people who ate said you still get a slight numbness in your mouth. Does that happen? The food looks wonderful I like meals that way.

This placed is surrounded by cemetery and the restaurant is famous and proud of using its underground water for cooking due historical reasons. It’s published on their website. Do you really know what it means? It means they serve everything with water from cemeteries ground! A lot people just got high with star rating but ignored Google map.
@@GourmetBGourmetтак вы заплатили за 1 человека 13872? Для такого ужина нормальная цена!! А при бронировании надо было заплатить 8000? и они вошли в эти 13872? или это дополнительно?
Haven’t been to many Japanese restaurants but this is certainly better than any presentation I’ve received. Also for a restaurant doing strictly traditional style, you’re not supposed to present it any other was than the classical way whether that’s artistic looking or not.

Kaiseki ryori is traditional Japanese luxury multi-course haute cuisine

kaiseki cuisine ❤
Sophistiqué et précieux!! 👍👌🤞🇫🇷
For the first course in a small bowl around 1:00, the polite way is to put the lid upside down after you open the lid
Did u eat puffer fish? I was just curious about it. I know some people who ate said you still get a slight numbness in your mouth. Does that happen? The food looks wonderful I like meals that way.
Taste refreshing, pure and like whitefish sashimi, thanks
Dassai 23! Nice one of my favorite sake. Too bad it’s overpriced here in the US😅
I like a light sweet taste
What is the name of this restaurant?
Kikunoi Honten in Kyoto Japan
@@GourmetBGourmet Thank you, much appreciated. It looks mind-blowing!
Is same type of food in Tokyo? Would it be more expensive there?
The check was for 14,000 yen that's actually about 90 USD, not 900!
2:53 Don't we all love the taste of tetrodotoxin? The dish is to die for.
luxurious and a bit scary at the same time. haha!
why a bit scary?
@@GourmetBGourmet Because it's so quiet, it feels like there's an additional layer of caution observed in terms of etiquette and food appreciation!
@@QDPenguin in private room listen the wind sound and bird from garden, you can more relax and enjoy the luxuries meal
It’s the fugu 😂
3 Michelin stars and they're serving sake in a Dom Perignon glass ice bucket????
that is very good idea of eco-friendly, reusable glass ice bucket
13832 Yen, Not 108331 Yen. That is $110 USD. That is one hell of a good deal if it is true.
We paid 95000yen on reservation, reservation receipt on the end screen
@@GourmetBGourmetпочему так много заплатили? Сколько Вас человек было?
835 $?
That is serious
The restaurant’s atmosphere, luxurious and refined facilities, luxury private room, is be worth that price for us
@@GourmetBGourmet loved everything about this video. The food looks sublime. The technique involved may have taken some time to master...
Thanks. I like Japanese Kaiseki, we have many amazing 3 stars Michelin on our playlist

You do know they cremate right?
Fugu ? Then let the guest better pay in advance #🎉😊😊
absolute rip off...that sake was USD15 per bottle
such a wastage of extravagant food & money...pure gluttony
Ns
Not 3 stars, I'd expect perfection for that price
the restaurant’s atmosphere, luxurious and refined facilities, luxury private room, is be worth price for us
Perfection doesn't exist, even at 3 star level. What you should expect is an outstanding, unforgettable dining experiencem

Fugu on the menue ? I would advise that the guest should pay always in advance #😂😂🎉
not worth it!!
How the heck did this get 3 stars? Presentation is avg at best. No different than a mid priced sushi restaurant in town. Food looks ok, but 3 stars?
one of important traditional Japanese cuisine, total difference then sushi, haute cuisine of Kaiseki, you can search Kaiseki
Haven’t been to many Japanese restaurants but this is certainly better than any presentation I’ve received. Also for a restaurant doing strictly traditional style, you’re not supposed to present it any other was than the classical way whether that’s artistic looking or not.
What !? This is pure class and the food look delicious
@@jacksonpatrick8118 agreed
That crab dish looked perfect. No superfluous garnish. This is mature cooking
My partner and I rarely eat out. Why? Because everything we cook is better than so called Michelin restaurants. A scam.
Looks pretty basic to me What a rip off
The restaurant’s atmosphere, luxurious and refined facilities, luxury private room, is be worth for us
it can't be worth so much money

The bill was for only 13,83 yen, about 100 USD. Relatively cheap!
I prepaid the courses, if you see at the ned you can see the prepaid bill
