We had a delicious meal at the counter. All dishes were beautifully cooked over charcoal and enjoyed with a good wine.

京都祇園 炭火割烹いふき。炭火を巧みに操り、その香りと火入れの技は比類なきもの。先付の蛍烏賊は軽く薫香をまとわせ寿司飯と合わせる。椀物は季節の鮑と蛤に胡麻豆腐でアクセントをつける。焼物はのど黒とスッポン。ここで炭火の威力を体感する。手打ち蕎麦が出て 締めのごはんとなる。この時の漬け鮪などま美味。自家製アイスクリームには大徳寺納豆を振るなど遊び心も楽しい。

Charcoal-grilled restaurant Ifuki in Gion, Kyoto.
The charcoal fire is expertly controlled, and the aroma and cooking technique are unparalleled. The starter of firefly squid is lightly fragrant and paired with sushi rice. The soup is seasonal abalone and clams accented with sesame tofu.
The grilled dishes are rosy seabass and soft-shelled turtle. Here you can really feel the power of the charcoal fire.
Hand-made soba noodles are served to finish the meal. The pickled tuna served here is also delicious.
The homemade ice cream is sprinkled with Daitokuji natto, adding a playful touch to the dish.

After shopping, I felt a little hungry, so I came to this Japanese restaurant in the nearby block. The Japanese karaage, salmon sashimi and salmon in this restaurant are all very good. I personally recommend ordering them. The price-performance ratio is also relatively high.

The environment is not very big, very simple. We were arranged to a small room on the right side of the entrance. There was a long table with only six seats. A chef behind the long table prepared delicious food for us on the spot. What impressed me most was that he used a delicate, original dark green bamboo tube to serve each guest a small glass of sake. At that time, I thought, bamboo can be seen everywhere in China, but why can&#39;t we use it and transform it into such a unique wine container? The Japanese ability to make good use of natural resources and enhance beautification is really worth learning from. Well, when it comes to food, in fact, his dishes are all relatively common ingredients. There is no particularly amazing dish, but the production is more exquisite. In this meal, I was most impressed by the rice, except for the bamboo wine tube. The rice was cooked by hand in a small pot, not the electric rice cooker that Chinese people love. He specially showed us his rice cooker before serving us the rice. The taste was really first-class and very delicious. When eating in Japan, usually all dishes are put away after they are served one by one, and the last dish is a portion of pickles with rice. I ordered the matcha set meal, which is 150 yuan more than the classic set meal, because it is said that matcha desserts are more famous in Kyoto, but the taste is really very ordinary. A small cup of green matcha and a small cake cost only 150 yuan, which is really not worth it. It is recommended not to order the matcha set meal.

An absolutely perfect meal in a beautiful setting. This restaurant is in a quiet area of ​​Gion and can be easily missed as it has a quirky and unassuming entrance. We had a private room but you can also sit at the counter where you can watch the chefs at work. Every dish was beautifully presented and incredible.

Each dish was prepared in the open kitchen and served to us immediately so was fresh, hot and delicious. The service was also very attentive. Highly, highly recommended.

It feels like a very good restaurant with an elegant environment. The size of the sushi is just right. Each one is delicious. Unknowingly, the whole family ate a lot! I like this restaurant very much and look forward to visiting here again!

Authentic Japanese cuisine and elegant traditional environment but not too fresh, service is OK but not up to Michelin standards in Europe and America. After eating, I always feel that it is not worth it.
