Hi!
​
Its my first time in Japan and sushi is my favorite food. I’m looking for a spot in Kyoto for a fancier omakase meal as well as a casual sushi joint. My boyfriend did book Sushi Gion Matsudaya but I’m seeing mixed reviews on this place. Also, do most restaurants take credit cards or should we have cash?
Feel free to drop any other food recommendations as food is probably our top priority on this trip. Thank you!

We had a great time at Fujiwara recently- it’s pricey but the space is cozy and the chef and his assistant are both really great.
For casual try Chojiro in Avanti at Kyoto Station. Reasonable prices for decent sushi.

+1 for Fujiwara, which is in pontocho alley. Very low key place, small but high end and the sushi omakase is excellent. Also, recommend Muromachi Wakuden. It’s another omakase place, more kaiseki focused, less sushi. Very good food and service, they’ve got an English speaking waitress there who can help translate as well. Also high end
we went to sushi imai and it was incredible!
Gion bansan for a full course at 7000 ish yen. Been there many times
