Sumiya Kihoan is a hermitage-like Japanese inn in the Yunohana hot spring resort, featuring its earthen walls and the gate having a thatched roof. In the beauties of natural surroundings, you can enjoy relaxing in open-air baths. For your meal, you can enjoy seasonal delicacies from the mountains of Tanba, especially matsutake-mashrooms in the autumn and wild boar meat in the winter.

The father-and-son team, along with their wives, offer a warm welcome to this kappo with deep roots in Saga. You can order à la carte or omakase style. Fish dishes are the stars of the menu, prepared in a number of ways: steamed with salt and sake, grilled, or however you like. Eel are prepared both unseasoned and dipped in soy-based sauce for you to taste and compare. At lunch the menu of boiled tofu and hiryuzu (deep-fried tofu mixed with thinly sliced vegetable) is the attraction. Treasuring its links with the region it calls home, Okina gets its tofu from Saga.

Standing on the grounds of Tenryuji Temple, a World Heritage site, the restaurant presents the vegetarian diet that is part of Buddhist training. Arranging cuisine on vermilion-lacquered plates reflects Zen convention. Every dish is nourishing, from sesame tofu and deep-fried tofu mixed with vegetable slices to dressed vegetables. To live is to eat, to give thanks to life, to cherish the moment. The Zen spirit of harmony with nature breathes within these walls.

Ramenya Fujitora
Ramen · Bib

‘Fujitora’ is a blend of the chef’s name and that of the shop where he apprenticed, created to bring luck. It was his mentor’s ramen that inspired him to embark on his current path. The techniques he cultivated and his inquisitive mind shine in his chicken-and-pork soup. The chef prepares this soup in a large stockpot in the kitchen, patiently teasing every drop of umami from the ingredients. Sauce for soy-sauce ramen is created from a medley of soy sauces to harmonise with the soup.

‘Wavie’ (pronounced ‘wah-vee’) is an invented word combining Japanese ‘wa’, ‘harmony’, with French ‘vie’, ‘life’; it expresses the concept of French cuisine brought to new life through Japanese ingredients. The prix fixe menu is squarely focused on the ingredients of Kyoto and its environs. Vegetables fermented in herbs add depth and character to the flavours. Arrangements are modern in style. With sauces based on wine and cream, wavie fuses Japanese and French influences to create a culture of culinary harmony.

The name refers to a type of conical hat worn by monks in training. The restaurant is adjacent to Myoshinji, the head temple of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism, where its founder learned the forms and spirit of shojin-ryori. Dishes are served on vermilion-lacquered serving-ware, a convention of Zen Buddhism, and arranged for colourful, eye-catching presentation. Udon, prepared with soy flour added, is a signature dish. Fresh soybean curds are a delicacy of the house. Vegetarian cuisine handed down from classical times that soothes the soul.
