Kikunoi Honten

Kikunoi Honten is one of Kyoto's most celebrated kaiseki restaurants, founded in 1912 and now helmed by third-generation chef Murata Yoshihiro. Located in the Higashiyama district, this Michelin three-star establishment has been instrumental in elevating kaiseki cuisine to global recognition. The multi-course tasting menus follow the seasons with exquisite precision, drawing on local Kyoto vegetables, premium dashi, and techniques refined over a century. Reservations are essential and often booked months in advance.
