Sushi Fukagawa Ryuji - Kyoto

This place let me discover another dimension of taste. wonderful sushi with many unique subtle notes in them. the whole preparation process is also an experience of itself. chef and his assistant were very friendly, answered every little question we had during dinner and kept very warm atmosphere. an incredible interieur. only wow.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! I am so glad my husband found this place because it was our greatest sushi experience in Japan! It is a small and cozy spot where you will be immersed into the creativity and perfected skill of sushi. The chef and his apprentice are incredibly skilled and passionate, which is apparent with each piece of sushi. You will be given a price for a set of sushi, each day depending on the availability of that morning's catch. The apprentice was so genuine and would explain the uniqueness of each piece and answer any questions. It truly was eye opening and I was so appreciative of their time and effort. I see other comments about people being turned away without reservations due to the small size of the restaurant, they have to be considerate of the reservation times and to allow appropriate time for everyone to enjoy their meal. It's not a rushed thing. They were very reasonable and willing to work with us even though there were reservations later. Another thing to keep in mind for travelers: In Japan eating out is not about bending over backwards for the customer. If there is something good, you should make a plan to research and make a reservation. They are doing everything right here and I can't wait to go back!

It was my best sushi place to live all over! the chef and the apprentice were really friendly and especially the apprentice can speak English very well. the chef made sushi before me with extraordinary skills. so the taste is really good and they serve a special sushi. I will definitely visit again when I come back to japan.

Randomly stumbled in this place and was so glad that we did it! it is a bit off the beaten tourist route, so it is quiet and comfortable. the chef and his apprentice are rock stars. we had lunch and dinner, and both of us were some of the best we had in japan. the price rich $50pp, so they don't get on the cheap, trust me, it's worth every penny. I'm looking forward to the return.

Literally the best sushi experience of my life. It’s “chef’s choice” and wow what choices he made. There was literally nothing that could have made this experience better. So authentic, food/drink is of such high quality, there is such good energy and vibe... this is IT. Come, enjoy, and go along for the ride. It’ll be a fantastic 1.5-2 hours.
