We longed to escape the Kyoto throngs of tourists and wandered down small streets in search of something special. We found it. Ramen Nishiki. A sleek restaurant that has 7 seats only. This is a one man show, the owner quietly and efficiently works all facets of the meal, from till to dishes.
You sit behind the current diners to await your turn. The chef only speaks to acknowledge your order. It is much like a performance, the chef’s movements are intentional and practiced as he prepares ramen, roasted vegetables and fish. The open design of the kitchen grants you front row seats. The food was precise and full of flavor.
