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

605m

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.

406m

Nakamitsu

Japanese · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥

The chef is an earnest devotee of everything that makes a restaurant great, thanks to careful study of ingredients, culinary technique and attention to every customer. Recipes are tested over and over to get the flavour just right. Knowing that the taste of dashi soup stock changes over time, the chef patiently rests his stock to draw out the flavour. While known to refer to traditional methods, alternations between new and old are a signature of Nakamitsu’s menus.

51m

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.

176m

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.

184m

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.

215m

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.

220m

Mirei

Japanese · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥

The owner and chef are a picture of brisk motion behind the counter. Offerings range from simple fare to more elaborate dishes, so everyone can choose something they fancy. Soups of ground vegetables and fruit mark each season. Potato salad is served Mirei-style: adding cucumber pickled in rice bran. Nama-fu (a steamed mixture of wheat gluten and rice flour) baked with blue cheese shows the house’s playful side. When a single dish is prepared, the owner asks if we’d like him to split it for us—a considerate touch.
