Isshisoden Nakamura
Japanese · ★★★ Michelin
¥¥¥¥
The house began life as a travelling fishmonger, carrying fish from Wakasa Bay to scattered markets, then gradually transitioned into a restaurant. The sixth-generation head, Motokazu Nakamura, took over the reins having been the only one entrusted with the craft he learned at his father’s side. For the white miso zoni, he only uses water drawn from a well on the premises to dissolve the miso. Sake-grilled tilefish is doused in sake multiple times, piling flavour on top of flavour. The chef tends the kitchen with his son, who trained abroad, passing skills and spirit from one generation to the

DODICI
Italian · ★ Michelin
¥¥¥
Prix fixe menus combine Italian gastronomic experience with Japanese ingredients, as showcased by the risotto of Japanese rice. Raw tofu lees and Daitokuji natto are uniquely Kyoto. The chef strives for a light palate, making eating a relaxed experience. Salt-pickled vegetables are made into sauces, and utilising the tartness of fermentation brings to mind Japanese cuisine. The open kitchen and the spacious, blue-walled dining room feel bright and fresh.

Muromachi Yui
Japanese · ★★ Michelin
¥¥¥¥
Omakase dishes reflect the turning of the seasons; hassun platters convey the month’s events and customs. Dedicated to fresh-from-the-kitchen deliciousness, white rice is served the moment it’s cooked. A generous assortment of accompaniments, such as dried mullet roe, dried baby sardines with pickled plum and savoury seaweed paste, brings joy. ‘Yui’ is short for ‘yuiitsu-muni’, or ‘one and only’. Unique cuisine and unmatched décor captivate diners.

Tsujifusa
Japanese · ★ Michelin
¥¥¥
Fusa means ‘linen’ or ‘hemp cloth’, which is used in Shinto rituals to symbolise cleanliness. The word was chosen for the restaurant’s name because, like Japanese cuisine, it developed from an origin as a sacred offering, and indeed the shop curtain hanging at the shop’s entrance is woven of pure linen. As part of his daily duties, the owner-chef prays at Ujiko Shrine and draws pure votive water from there. The proprietress, a qualified sommelier, suggests pairings of sake and wine.

Gokomachi Tagawa
Japanese · ★ Michelin
¥¥¥¥
The chef is dedicated to bringing the natural flavours of his ingredients to life, and his char-grilling technique embodies that approach. Fresh from the kitchen brazier wafts aromas of wagyu beef and eel patiently grilled over bincho charcoal, bearing witness to the chef’s finesse. The meal concludes with a remarkable trio of clay-pot rices—plain, mountain delicacies, and seafood. Enjoy flavours of the season to your heart’s content.

Nijo Minami
Japanese · ★ Michelin
¥¥¥
The counter was lacquered by the couple who run the restaurant as a wish for its enduring prosperity. The sign is a memento handwritten for them by the monk of Daitokuji Temple, to which the couple regularly journey to draw water. To impart the flavour of each ingredient, the chef follows a creed of simple, honest preparation. His talents are on full display in the Kyoto cuisine he studied so diligently. The meal closes with handmade Japanese confectioneries. As a devotee of the Omote Senke school of tea ceremony, the chef serves thin tea, which he prepares himself as a token of gratitude.

Sokkon Fujimoto
Japanese · ★ Michelin
¥¥¥¥
To improve himself, the chef strives to master the arts of tea ceremony, flower arrangement and calligraphy. Those traditional arts and forms are represented by the ideal of ‘shin-gyo-so’—formal, semi-cursive and cursive forms of writing, the first being the most orthodox and the last being the freest, with semi-cursive in between. The principle of shin-gyo-so is to preserve the essentials while giving rein to imagination. The chef follows another credo, the Zen principle of ‘sokkon’, or savouring the moment and banishing worldly thoughts. The chef pays attention to every detail, from cuisine

Muromachi Wakuden
Japanese · ★ Michelin
¥¥¥
The kitchen comes alive with the spirited motion of the chefs. Guided by the philosophy of ‘rustic beauty and cultured refinement’, they plate ingredients in their natural form, giving true expression to their flavour. Flame-broiled or stewed dishes prepared on earthen charcoal braziers before guests’ eyes are to be enjoyed along with their aromas. Steaming in clay pots brings the goodness of rice grown in Kyotango to the fore. Cuisine imbued with the seasons and respect for nature.
