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

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

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.

Kiyama

Japanese · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥¥

Water drawn from a well on the premises is where everything starts for Kiyama. Prix fixe dining begins with the service of plain hot water. The first infusion of dashi is prepared before the guests’ eyes, its aromatic fragrance and clear, refined flavour enlivening each simmered bowl. As the meal draws to a close, the proprietor himself prepares and serves thin tea, a weak matcha. The menu is a hymn of thanks for the pure groundwater of Kyoto that brings out the best in each dish.

Gosho Iwasaki

Japanese · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥

As a ryotei cook, the chef learned never to forget the basics of Kyoto cuisine. In a mark of respect, the meal begins with a cup of sake. The chef expresses his commitment to gracious service through the passion he devotes to his cooking. Tilefish sashimi is lightly salted, enhancing flavour. Instead of simmered vegetables, hot-pot cooking is offered. Prizing engagement with his guests, the chef works his magic right before their eyes. The surest sign of a sincere craftsman is earnest devotion to his craft.

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.

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.

Bini

Italian · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥

The chef experienced the profundity of local cooking in Italy and learned about fermented cuisine in Switzerland. In Kyoto, he happened upon the charm of Ohara’s agricultural produce. He then set about creating cuisine as only this terroir could make possible, accented by the sourness and bitterness of fermented vegetables. ‘Bini’ is named after his Italian mentor—his dearly-missed father figure in Italy. The name expresses gratitude for teaching him the joy of cooking and guiding his early career.
