What Ezequiel Schinner doesn't like about Kajitsu:
Spent $700 on food only to find half of the food inedible. Too many flavors and textures or extremely basic. One course was simply a boiled tomato with ice! Not worth the price tag View all feedback. What Maggie H likes about Kajitsu:
I cannot recommend this place enough. My friends and I had the most lovely, thoughtful and delicious meal! One of the first Michelin starred meals where I left full and would definitely return again just to see what other seasonal menus they had to offer! Our sake was delicious and the service was top notch! My friends and I are not vegans but thoroughly enjoyed this meal! View all feedback.

Considering the cost of the produce, the food is not overly priced; and it is in line with the other Shojin Ryori restaurants around Kyoto. The cuisine is absol...
