- Restaurant Introduction -
A Michelin-starred restaurant in Kyoto. Located in Hanamikoji, this kaiseki restaurant is favored by renowned gourmets such as Japanese celebrity Ken Watanabe. The overall atmosphere is warm and the space is elegant and tasteful. Established over a century ago in Gion Kawakami, it was originally a machiya (a type of traditional townhouse) and retains the historical charm of the Taisho era. The elegant and warm space makes one feel relaxed. Chef Hiroyuki Kato firmly believes in the encounters with guests, ingredients, and traditional culture, upholding the principle of "ichi-go ichi-e" (each encounter is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, therefore every sincere interaction should be cherished). The Kyoto-born chef meticulously selects the most seasonal local ingredients with a unique eye, creating exquisite dishes full of Kyoto characteristics.
