Enjoy the Elegant Traditions of Kyoto Cuisine in a Hidden Restaurant
"Yugyoan Tankuma Kitaten - Kyoto Nanzenji Flagship" is a refined Japanese restaurant that carries on the legacy of Kurisu Kumasaburo, founder of the renowned kappo establishment "Kyoto Cuisine Tankuma". While honoring tradition, the restaurant brings a fresh sensibility to its culinary philosophy. Guests are invited to indulge in exquisite kaiseki cuisine that exemplifies the elegance and precision of Japanese culinary artistry. At the counter, each seasonal dish is presented with care and confidence by the head chef, offering an immersive dining experience. The opportunity to witness the chef’s deft knife work up close is part of the restaurant’s unique appeal. From the meticulously chosen tableware to the serene, understated interior, every element reflects refined aesthetics. Discreetly nestled in a quiet corner of the ancient capital, this unmarked hideaway embodies the essence of wabi-sabi.
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Dining Experience Rooted in Kyoto’s Essence
Not only do they use seafood from Akashi City, Hyogo, and local vegetables, rice, and meat from Kyoto but they also use the finest miso, soy sauce, and even the water they use to ensure that the flavor of the ingredients is conveyed as is. They also offer a wide variety of drinks, including their own original local sake, Yugyoan.
A Wabi-Sabi Retreat Where Hospitality Is Felt in Every Detail
The restaurant is in a quiet area with a deep history, and has no signboard, giving it a hideaway feel. The counter inside the restaurant is not only a place to eat, but also a place to enjoy conversation while watching the chef's beautiful knife skills. Private rooms are available in Japanese and Western styles, and can be used for important meetings and banquets.
