In December of 2013, I went to Kikunoi-Honten to
celebrate my friend's birthday. The restaurant is located in Gion near Maruyama
park. I've always wanted to go here and I was excited to see if it would meet
my expectations.
Kikunoi's service was very friendly and I didn't feel
like I was at a formal restaurant. They even gave us umbrellas when we left
because it was raining. Therefore, I felt much more relaxed at Kikunoi
than Chihana, the other Michelin Kaiseki restaurant that I've been to, because
the atmosphere wasn't as formal and serious. Compared to Chihana, the food
at Kikunoi was also much better.
I recommend going to Kikunoi if you want to celebrate
a special occasion. Also, the lunch course isn't as expensive (8400 yen) as
other Michelin 3-star Kaiseki restaurants. Moreover, they also serve a bento
lunch for 5.500 yen if you just want to try out their food.
