We weren't sure what to expect for our first Michelin Star restaurant. My wife and I are vegan and we knew Daigo was one of the only options we would ever have. Thankfully we are big fans of Shojin Ryori, which meant we were excited. We got there about 30 minutes early and they went ahead and seated us. We had our own private room with a beautiful lit garden outside. We were treated to course after course of delicious food that ranged in texture, temperature, and flavor. It was all fantastic and was finished off with an AMAZING red bean soup. The staff were kind and helpful. They made us feel right at home. If you think you'd enjoy an experience of the world's best Shojin Ryori, then we highly recommend going!

Very special restaurant experience. Wonderful omakase selection of predominantly fish dishes. One of the chefs spoke fluent English so could provide clear explanations of all the dishes. Highly recommended if travelling to Gifu - a great destination near to several pottery museums and specialist kilns, hiking Nakasendo trail and mountain retreats.

Celebrated my mum’s birthday with dinner here and she really enjoyed the experience. We had a private room for 3 of us and had the sukiyaki course. It came with 3 courses including sukiyaki, tempura and sushi. After which, we took a walk in the beautiful garden. A memorable experience and be even better in the day when u get full view of this epic and historical Japanese garden!
