Moto was knowledgeable without being overbearing and did a good job explaining the food, sake, and local context in a way that felt relaxed and genuine. The stops were well chosen, the pacing was comfortable. A solid way to experience Kyoto’s food scene and learn a bit along the way. Would definitely recommend.”
