“Overhyped by tourists”

Decent sushi joint but certainly not as amazing as the hype. The superlative reviews are written by Western tourists who only know sushi from their countries. By Japanese standards, this is merely a good place. The fatty tuna is the best piece. The salmon and crab are passable. The eel is pretty good. The hosts are polite and nice.

Really good sushi sampler with fatty tuna. Great place to stop for lunch in Arashiyama. Small restaurant but not to crowded.

The food here was super delicious. Just off the main road so could escape all the tourists everywhere. The fish was fresh and beautifully prepared. It was all reasonably priced and the sushi and sashimi were a good size

The sushi and sashimi is prepared so well and is so fresh that the texture is almost like cream. What an unbelievable experience. You could never get sick of this place. The staff are very polite and welcoming. We had to wait for about 10 minutes and were first in line. I expected we would be waiting a lot longer. Best sushi in Japan during our trip so far.
