Thank you so much for the recommendation peko – i’ve already asked my hotel to make a reservation for me for dinner at the Iroha North branch. It looks like exactly the type of restaurant I want to visit!
And thank you for steering me clear of Mishima-tei! I had some sneaking suspicions but it actually sounds a lot worse than even I was fearing.
Also, I would be very grateful if you could share some insight on your preferred unagi restaurants. I’ve read about Kaneyo in your blog and I’ve found that Zagat rates Gion U (570-120 Gionmachi-Minamigawa) very highly.
btw – I am a big fan of your blog and have been using it extensively to plan my culinary itinerary in Kyoto. thanks for all the good work!
