A refined kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto's Gion district, offering seasonal dishes with an extensive selection of sake and wine in an intimate setting.
MK Guide Recommends
Gion Nishi delivers Kyoto’s seasonal kaiseki through the hands of Chef Junpei Nishi, whose counter anchors a minimalist space in Gion. Each course showcases ingredient clarity—unadorned cuts, mountain greens, umami-rich broths—paired with a deep sake and wine cellar. The restaurant’s scale is modest, but its attention to pace, temperature, and seasonal transitions makes it a landmark of Kyoto’s culinary precision.
