Visited this restaurant for comfort food in Kyoto. Great environment and food. Maksym was a great waiter and helped me order a delicious Caucasian chicken.

I'm Russian-American and was curious to see what Russian food is like in Japan. Unfortunately due to show tickets, I only had time to try a couple of appetizers but they were exceptional. The pirozhki and pelmeni were a wonderful fusion of Russian/Ukrainian flavors and...Japanese lightness. Phenomenal! Service was exceptional too, they could not be more accommodating. I will be back next time I am in Kyoto for sure! Wheelchair access: the restaurant is on the 6th floor of a larger building and there is an elevator, however, it's extremely tiny do ymmv. The restaurant itself is spacious and has comfortable Western style seating. The bathroom is up a large step and too narrow for a wheelchair.More

Borsch served in this restaurant was fine and similar to the taste I had in Moscow 30years ago, under Perestroika. It means tasty beetroot and cabbage soup with less ingredients. In a way, I guess, I could estimate it authentic. Other dishes like Zakuski, Pirozhki,...Beef Storoganoff were also fine, though they are Japanized more or less. I guess the difference of the tastes from original would depends on lack or less of Russian ingredients like Smetana（スメタナ）, Kvass（クヴァス）, Pickling Vegetables and Mushrooms （野菜や茸のピクルス）and Fish Marinade (ex Herring, Sturgeon)（ニシンやチョウザメのマリネ）. It couldn't be helped. Travel in summer, Book the seats at Rooftop Beer Garden. ＯＰＥＮ　１２：００－２１：００ＬＯMore
