A historic Kyoto restaurant showcasing exquisite kaiseki cuisine that merges tradition with innovation.
MK Guide Recommends
Hyōtei is one of Kyoto’s oldest kaiseki restaurants, tracing its origins back more than 450 years, and is located near the Nanzen-ji temple complex in Sakyo Ward. Led by chef Yoshihiro Takahashi, the restaurant serves multi-course meals in a series of historic teahouse rooms overlooking a quiet garden. The cuisine emphasizes seasonality, pacing, and ritual, with well-known dishes such as the Hyōtei tamago and asagayu rice porridge anchoring the experience. Awarded three Michelin stars, Hyōtei is defined less by innovation than by continuity, offering a highly formal expression of Kyoto dining shaped by time, place, and discipline.
