Yusokuryori Mankamero

Japanese · ★★ Michelin

¥¥¥¥

This long-serving restaurant was built as a general store and traded as a sake dealer before transforming into a ryotei. In continuous operation since its founding three centuries ago, Mankamero has preserved tradition by constantly changing. Heir to the tradition of ‘yusoku ryori’, banquet fare served at imperial court functions, the restaurant carries on the Ikama school of ‘shikibocho’, the ceremonial art of knife handling that unites cookery with etiquette—faithfully preserved to the present day. Seasons are reflected everywhere, from the elegant Kyoto kaiseki to the arrangements, serving

La Biographie···

French · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥¥

Light dining is the chef’s approach. For the amuse-bouche, the theme is ‘five flavours’. A medley of finger foods adds a playful touch; roast wagyu comes in a clear sauce of beef juices. The meal concludes on a Japanese note, with soba. A soup of vegetable cut ends is poured into the bowl, adding value while ensuring nothing is wasted. The meal weaves abundant experience and creative evolution, unfolding as a biography in food.

KOGA

French · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥

The chef prizes ‘combinations of flavours and aromas’. His mentor in Paris, Christian Le Squer, taught him to seek out new flavours by developing the sensibility of a perfumer. Experience and ideas come together in the ‘Warm Salad’. Vegetables picked in the Takagamine district of Kyoto’s Kita Ward are cooked in a variety of ways, drawing the flavour of each to the fore. Interplay of aromas between char-grilled meat dishes and their sauces express this fare’s unique character.

MOKO

French · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥

Alexis Moko polished his skills in Paris and London before decamping to Kyoto. Encountering an old merchant’s house that had once served as a dietary school, he opened a restaurant where he could express his knowledge of French cuisine through Japanese ingredients. Moko makes the most of the freshness of vegetables from nearby Ohara while ageing fish and meat in a curing warehouse to amplify umami. Dishes inspired by classic cuisine are dressed generously in sauces to create a light, refreshing touch.

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.

1.5km

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.

1.1km

Tenjaku

Tempura, Japanese · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥

Tempura kaiseki, inherited from the chef’s grandfather. Japanese cuisine expresses the turning of the seasons. Tempura is fried one item at a time in canola oil, with a thin, lightly seasoned coating. Dipping sauce is served warm; tofu in a deep-fried style preserves the grandfather’s methods. Dressing tempura items in chopped onions and mustard is the Tenjaku style. Feeling that the afternotes should be light, the meal ends with white rice cooked in clay pots.

1.2km

Vena

Italian · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥

The chef brings out the best in seasonal ingredients to conjure simple, tasty fare. Early morning market visits, part of his daily routine, furnish the ingredients that inspire ideas for his kitchen. Pasta of sweetfish and crab, simmered in their own broth, express the candid flavours of the season. Wines that bring out the flavours of each dish are part of the appeal of Vena. Ask the sommelier about the house’s range of finely aged wines.
