Probably the best food I’ve had, I was there with family and we were mind blown. We had the menu which is made on every 3rd week of the month, the balance of the meal, pairing of ingredients, dish display, it was all perfect. We’ve been to 50+ Michelin guide restaurants some of them 3 star, the menu at SATOWA is the most complete - every dish had immense flavour & finesse, even the best restaurant I’ve been at (especially 3 star Michelin) had some dishes with flaws. The Unagi with rice and Wagyu Beef were especially tasty. Not to mention, this guy is cooking ALONE, he is doing everything himself 🤯 - I am just in shock how talented he is, for sure he needs more recognition. If you even go to Kyoto make sure to pass by this place, it’s going to be an experience with no regrets! Keep up the good work Chef, you’ve made our Kyoto trip ever more memorable with your delicious meals!! ❤️

Aufgrund der Bewertungen hier auf Google und im Guide Michelin hatten wir große Hoffnung in das Restaurant, jedoch war unser Abend eine herbe Enttäuschung. Das Essen hatte keine Raffinesse, war fad und sehr unspektakulär. Der Koch ist jedoch sehr freundlich. Dennoch kann ich dieses Restaurant leider nicht empfehlen. (Translated by Google) Based on the reviews here on Google and in the Michelin Guide, we had high hopes for the restaurant, but our evening was a bitter disappointment. The food had no sophistication, was bland and very unspectacular. However, the chef is very friendly. However, unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant.
店主の方の人柄も良く、値段、サービス、雰囲気最高です。
有名人も来店されているようで、納得のお店です。 (Translated by Google) The charcoal-grilled eel was exquisite!
The skin was crispy and the inside was plump, and the rice, cooked in a clay pot, was also exquisite.
It was so delicious that I wanted more...
The owner is very friendly, and the prices, service, and atmosphere are all great.
It seems that celebrities have visited this restaurant, and it's no wonder.

The warmest chef in Kyoto, full of love and the taste of the sincere soul. Chef specially adjusted the menu for my mother who cannot eat raw food. The eight dishes are a multiple enjoyment of vision, smell, taste and hearing. It’s hard to believe that the chef of such a beautiful restaurant is so young! His knife skills amazed us! The eel rice he makes is the best I have ever eaten!

タイミングよく、楽しい食事をちょうど良い感じで演出してくださいます。最初から最後まで楽しい経験でした。こちらが詳しく聞くと詳しく教えてくれ、食事を楽しんでいるとほっておいてくれる。
こういうのってうれしいなと思いました。どれもおいしかったですが蛸の炊いたのが九条ネギたっぷりで本当においしかったです。ご飯で出された皮がパリッとした鰻のおいしさもさることながら、ご飯の粒が立ってて本当においしかったです。お代わりで頂いたご飯とそのお供も最高でした。
ありがとうございました。 (Translated by Google) The timing was just right, and they created an enjoyable meal. It was a fun experience from start to finish. When we asked for more details, they gave us more details, but when we were enjoying our meal, they left us alone.
I was so happy to experience that. Everything was delicious, but the cooked octopus with plenty of Kujo leeks was really good. The eel skin served with the rice was crispy and tasty, but the rice had nice grains that stood out and were really tasty. The second helping of rice and its accompaniments were also excellent.
Thank you very much.

Update 1/7/2025:
2 months ago, thanks to my buddy Suki Lee's recommendation. We came to Satowa 鄉和, Kyoto for an Omakase dinner. We were so impressed, felt that it was one of the best meal we ever had, we decided to take our kids to come to Kyoto just for this place. We didn't disappoint. As impressive as last time. Especially the unagi don. Just listen to the video. I never had unagi prepared so perfectly and I went around the world for unagi including the legendary unagi restaurants in Japan. Satowa is bar none the best!
It's truly a gem
My friend who went to many Michelin stars restaurants around the world came here and told me it's the best meal she ever had. So we figured we will try.
The culinary experience to us is a Michelin one star level.
It's omakase and it's like a fusion version of Kaiseki. I'm going to make the review short so you can experience the menu yourself.
1. Amazing details in preparing the various courses.
2. The flavor was perfect.
3. The attention to the details of presentation, such as how to cover the soup, and presenting the food.
4. It was the best unagi don I ever had. The crunchiness is unimaginable how he can grilled it so perfectly. I've many unagi in Japan even the most famous (and expensive) and this is way better. Simply diamond in the rough. The rice is specially mixed with a sauce that was so extraordinary delectable.
We are fortunate that we will be returning to Kyoto and I want to come back for at least the unagi don.

It was a perfect intimate dining experience. Satowa sits approximately 6 to 8 people, with all the seats are at the bar allowing customers to observe the chef in action, which was a wonderful experience in itself.
It was an 8 course meal, each dish was faultless. The ingredients were fresh, extremely tasty with wonderful flavour combinations that I have not tried before. ***HIghly recommend.....***

Accueil chaleureux et en anglais, un samedi soir à 18h30, dans la salle intimiste de moins de 10 couverts, décor sobre. Pour tout dire, nous étions deux, le chef et moi, ce qui était surprenant mais nous a permis d’échanger un peu sur les ingrédients du menu et de suivre la préparation des plats en direct.
Menu en 8 services (entrée, sashimi, miso, tempura, viande, légumes, plat principal, dessert) qui permet une belle initiation aux produits emblématiques de la gastronomie japonaise : tofu, anguille, poissons, bœuf, champignons, yuzu, soja, etc. Belles cuissons. Cela est frais et léger, servis dans une belle vaisselle par ailleurs.
Prix du menu unique plus un thé : 18000¥
Réservation vivement conseillée. (Translated by Google) A warm welcome in English was offered on a Saturday evening at 6:30 pm in the intimate dining room with fewer than 10 seats and understated decor. To be honest, there were two of us, the chef and I, which was surprising, but it allowed us to chat a bit about the menu ingredients and watch the dishes being prepared live.
An 8-course menu (starter, sashimi, miso, tempura, meat, vegetables, main course, dessert) provides a wonderful introduction to the iconic ingredients of Japanese cuisine: tofu, eel, fish, beef, mushrooms, yuzu, soy, and more. The dishes are beautifully cooked. The dishes are fresh and light, served on beautiful tableware.
Price for the single menu plus tea: 18,000 yen
Reservations are highly recommended.

The talent, grace and hospitality of Mr Tatsuya Ueda is something wonderful. A beautifully prepared, effortlessly presented dinner menu, each course even complemented by its special bowl or plate. An exemplary journey through Omi beef, salmon tempura, crispy eel, and much more, Satowa seems to excel at everything! I wanted to keep it to myself as a secret, and I never leave reviews, but I just had to after this. Please support Satowa.
Thank you - I will dream of my next visit.

and the menu was like an izakaya,
and each dish was carefully prepared.
(It will be held on the last Friday and Saturday of every month from now on)
The fried and grilled foods were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside.
The carefully prepared dishes were cooked to perfection.
The braised pork belly was torn apart with chopsticks and melted in your mouth.
The rolled egg was very tender and delicious.
Every dish was really delicious.
The owner is usually alone, but his wife was helping out,
and we had a wonderful lunch time where we could chat and relax.
We will visit again as a reward for ourselves, just the couple (lol)
It was a really delicious meal.

本日は郷和でうな重ランチをいただきました。炭火を使って巧みに焼かれた鰻は皮はパリパリ、厚みのある身はホクホクで、土鍋で炊いた米にからまった山椒がほんのり香るオリジナルのタレが相まって本当に美味しかったです。このクオリティでこの値段は絶対にお得です。夜は季節の食材を使ったコース料理を提供されていると聞いたので、さっそく妻と二人予約しました。 (Translated by Google) Today I had unaju lunch at Gowa. The eel was skillfully grilled over charcoal, with crispy skin and thick, fluffy meat. The rice was cooked in a clay pot and the original sauce, with a subtle hint of Japanese pepper, was absolutely delicious. For this quality, the price is an absolute bargain. I heard they serve a course meal using seasonal ingredients in the evening, so my wife and I immediately made a reservation.

I enjoyed a fantastic grilled eel lunch crafted by Chef Ueda. The setting of the kitchen/dining area, along with Chef Ueda's meticulous attention to every aspect of the meal preparation, and the flavor of the dish, all culminated in a flawless dining experience.
I've had my fair share of grilled eel dishes across Japan and I can say, without a doubt, that this was the tastiest one I've had. The rich taste from the eel itself combined nicely with the subtle yet flavorful sauce that didn't overpower the taste of the eel itself.
I hope that the next time I return I'll still be able to secure a seat for myself and my partner as Chef Ueda's business continues to grow! :)
