KYOTO SUSHI OMAKASE sits on the third floor of the Breeze Building inside Nishiki Market Alley by MOON and BACK, in Nakagyo Ward near Nishiki Market. The counter seats up to 80 and runs two parallel omakase menus at the same ¥7,700 per person: a standard seafood-based course and a fully plant-based vegan course, so guests with different dietary needs can sit together.
Both ten-course-equivalent menus (the listing groups items as 10 courses) include two chef-selected appetizers, ten pieces of sushi, a bowl of shoyu ramen (or vegan shoyu ramen for the plant-based option), and mango sorbet to finish. The standard sushi lineup has included sea bream, seared yellowtail, salmon, tuna, squid, seared Hokkaido scallop, red shrimp, seared bonito, a truffle salmon hand roll and chutoro, though the selection changes with season and market availability. The vegan course substitutes items such as miso-glazed eggplant, avocado, vinegar-marinated carrot, cucumber roll, takuan, kinpira burdock, nametake, teriyaki fried tofu and grilled corn. An optional wagyu topping can be added to the standard ramen, and extra fried tofu to the vegan version, both for an additional charge.
The restaurant is open seven days a week from 12:00 to 23:00 and offers an English menu with English-speaking service. Reservations are handled through TableCheck, and walk-ins may be accepted depending on counter space and food preparation. Phone reservations are also possible via the listed number.
The price tier is listed as affordable, and the venue is classified as counter-only with lunch omakase availability.
