Chinese Sai Guu is a reservation-only Chinese fine dining restaurant helmed by Chef Kaname Miyata, one of the few chefs in Japan with official Chinese national culinary certification. Nestled quietly in central Kyoto, the restaurant offers only six counter seats and a set course that weaves together refined Cantonese techniques with seasonal Japanese ingredients. With no à la carte options, each dish is prepared with care and intention, highlighting both traditional flavors and modern presentation. The intimate space fosters a direct connection between chef and diner, allowing guests to experience the craft and philosophy behind each course.
