One of my favorite Kaiseki restaurants in Kyoto (We've been here twice), The restaurant/family has a long lineage of serving Emperors and heads of state. The owner showed us a long scroll where the menus served to royalty dated back 100s of years. On both occasions we sat on Tatami mats, I am not sure if they have western style table chairs. Dinner lasted over two hours. Everything is prepared with high detail. I dined with my family including my son who was 8 years old (He eats everything). The staff are very pleasant, They do not speak English, but you can arrange your dinner with the hotel and they will explain all the details. On our second visit I paid an additional fee to have the Chef show us an old tradition of carving fish... In the old days chefs were not allowed to touch the Emperor's food with their hands so they needed to be skilled knife users. With a Sharp knife and a set of Steel Hashi he carved an entire fish without touching it once! really nice to see. This is a private show so you and your guests get front Row. The chef called my son over and took a picture with him. Yes I would go back, no doubt, just have to save up on ¥. Credit cards are accepted, The restaurant is family friendly to the extent that your Kids eat everything, three quarters of the way and my son was full but they kept bringing him food. He had three dishes at one point, we ended up having to help him to not waste the food.
