Complete your meal with traditional Japanese cuisine at Kurashita, a great place to stop by during your trip, as it is close to Kyoto Gion and Yasaka Shrine.
There are many places to see in Kyoto Gion, but eating food that has been loved for a long time in this historical area is one of the things that makes traveling more enjoyable. So, I will introduce you to Gion Kurashita, a kaiseki restaurant in Gion that you will definitely be satisfied with when you visit!
Enjoy in various ways
Temperature Kurashita
This is a kaiseki restaurant located in Hanamikoji, Kyoto, and features a menu using seasonal ingredients to bring out the original flavor of the ingredients! In addition to kaiseki, you can choose from a variety of courses, including yudofu (湯豆腐), famous for hot spring cuisine, and seasonal tempura.
Let's take a closer look at Gion Kurashita, which also has a beautiful garden where you can enjoy the scenery while dining.
Focus on 'this'
They make each and every dish with a craftsman's spirit and put a lot of care into it, but it's actually a place where their love for the ingredients themselves really stands out. I'll introduce you to three ingredients that are important at Gion Kurashita, so I hope you'll focus on the taste when you eat!
First of all, tofu . It is an ingredient that can be easily found, but they say that they use tofu from a tofu shop with over 100 years of history in Kyoto. It is a simple yet special dish with a deep and rich tofu flavor and a smooth texture. I recommend dipping it in the shop’s special soy sauce !
Next is wasabi . Don't you want to try it? We only use wasabi grown with care and sweat by the most famous and excellent wasabi farms in the Izu region. We hope you will experience the charm that is clearly different from that sold in the market.
Here are some seasonal ingredients . You can find seasonal fish that have been called high-quality fish in Kyoto since ancient times, and they also prepare various vegetables that are in season. It is a food that is not only delicious but also nutritious, so be sure to try it!
