The staff were the very picture of professional polite Japanese service! We visited the place around 12pm and it was empty! It was pretty expensive but I consider it money well spent for the experience. The waitress actually waited to hand me a towel to dry my hands off after a toilet run and thanked us at the door as we left the establishment.
The food was good. However the price point is too high. It's just chicken, which was not crazy amazing chicken that you rave about. And then with it, vegetables and a porridge. Again good food, but not food you can recall a year later. The environment is beautiful though and service was attentive enough. At ¥13,000 per person though, they should have service pre made translation sheets so guests could follow along.
My total bill was ¥29,000. Had a draft beer ¥800 and asked for more veggies (not sure how much the charge was for that or if there was one).
This 270+year old establishment has been owned and operated by the same family. Famous historical figures such as Ryoma Sakamoto had eaten here back in the days. There is a secret staircase hidden in a wall! The food was amazing, and service was impressive!
No English booking and no walk in , expensive and arrogant
値段は高め。
お鍋は非常に鶏のだしが濃厚です‼
けれど、しつこくなくとても美味(*´-`)
〆まで美味しくいただきました。

デザートは完熟した甘柿でした。
四条木屋町をすこしくだったところにあります。高瀬川沿い。町屋造りでいい雰囲気です。決まり文句の坂本龍馬が愛した水炊きと使用したという個室。水炊きは濃厚ですんだ味がして、雑炊は何杯もいけます。仲居さんがすべてつくってくれるので安心。
Food is decent, and the staff is excellent. The quantity is huge. We had the Nabe which is a chicken soup with various ingredients which are added one after the other by the waitress at the table and then served.
The negative point is the price, which is really high, and not very transparent. They have a 20% service charge and we were expecting a different base price than written on the check. In the end, we paid 30'000 ¥ for nabe for two persons, 1 side dish and 2 beers.
