Was more impressed by the fact that it the restaurant (or at least the original in Kyoto) has been around since shogunate times than by the food itself. Don't get me wrong - I'm sure that our menu was the top of the line as...we had at least 12 courses and it was specially selected by our very gracious hosts, but some of the dishes seemed repetitive to me, i.e., a lot of tofu and tofu-like dishes. There was one selection that I particularly liked - chicken in broth, but I didn't finish it as we were only midway through the many courses and I was afraid that I would be too full.More
