A reputable kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto's Shimogamo area, serving seasonal multi-course Japanese cuisine in a historic setting.
MK Guide Recommends
Shimogamo Saryo Main Restaurant was founded in 1856 and is a long-established kaiseki restaurant near Shimogamo Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Kyoto. Housed in a traditional Japanese residence with a garden-facing layout, the restaurant offers a composed setting that emphasizes season, rhythm, and restraint. The cuisine is guided by the principle of dosan-dōhō, preparing local ingredients with time-honored methods to express Kyoto’s regional character rather than innovation. Meals unfold as carefully paced multicourse offerings, making Shimogamo Saryo best suited to diners seeking a historically rooted, place-conscious expression of Kyoto kaiseki.
