Kanamean Nishitomiya Ryokan

I suggest you try their dinner. It’s the delicious Kaiseki style. You can also ask him to recommend wine and wine pairings. The boss is a wine collector. The owner and his wife speak English well enough to communicate, and their service attitude is second to none in Japanese B&Bs. The soundproofing is OK and the room is big enough. (I have only stayed in Seikamo House and this one as the better accommodation in Kyoto). The location is very good and easy to get around. Kiyomizu Temple is a little far away, so you can take transportation there and walk all the way back.

I used it only for dinner on May 22, 2023 with 4 foreign friends. After arriving, when I told him that I had made a reservation for 5 people, a person who seemed to be the owner came out and asked me again, 4 people? He said. When I told him that I had made a reservation for 5 people many times, he finally said, "Oh, it was 5 people." are you okay? ! I was worried. After that, I was guided to a room like a study, and I was kept waiting for a while. Nothing comes out of the tea. After a while, I was guided to the kitchen and received an explanation of the ingredients of the day from my husband, but the explanation was verbose and boastful, so I felt a little uncomfortable. Even if you don't take the trouble to guide them to the kitchen and explain them, I think it would be better if you just explained the ingredients when the food was served. Also, aren't you very good at explaining? You say it in English, so even though I say it's fine in Japanese, are you not good at it? I felt a little uncomfortable because I was trying to say it in English. After that, I was finally passed to the tatami room on the second floor. Why didn't you guide me here from the beginning? I don't understand what you mean. There were 9 dishes and the taste was reasonable, but the amount was too small and it was delicious! I didn't feel like saying that. My husband said that he wouldn't feel bloated even after eating 9 dishes in the kitchen, and he was right, but I would like to have a little more (it doesn't have to be a lot of all the dishes, so which one? I would have liked a larger portion of the mains). There was a thick wine list. It seems that my husband boasted that it would take an hour to read all of them? Told. I'm not bragging or anything like that. It would be a good idea to respond to this request and recommend it. After that, the young boy in the black clothes was still unfamiliar with the waiter (part-time job?), and I was a little unsettled. This kind of place is useless unless it is a veteran waitress wearing Japanese clothes. I couldn't book another place on the day, so I booked this place, but I don't think there will be a second time.

A wonderful combination of old style - rooms with tatami and so on. with wonderful bathrooms and other equipment. Located in the heart of a big city, but on a quiet street. The restaurant works flawlessly, has a Michelin star. The wine list is beyond expectations for Japan.
