A classic Kyoto restaurant known for its suppon (soft-shell turtle) dishes.
MK Guide Recommends
Daiichi is a long-established Kyoto restaurant specializing in suppon (soft-shell turtle) cuisine, a traditional delicacy with deep roots in the city’s culinary culture. The menu centers on carefully prepared suppon dishes, often served in structured courses that emphasize depth of flavor, texture, and warmth rather than visual display. Preparation follows orthodox methods, allowing the ingredient’s richness to develop gradually over the meal. Daiichi is best suited to diners interested in experiencing a highly specific strand of Kyoto cuisine that prioritizes tradition, ritual, and culinary continuity over variety.
