It opened in spring 2017.
There is near Maruyama-koen and it's the quiet atmosphere.
You can feel pleasure in the restaurant where the white was made the basis.
After training oneself in Kyoto, a master chef also gained experience in foreign countries.
The dish with which a full master chef makes a search heart makes the basis important and is a dish with the ingredients in season.
The liquor added to a dish is being also prepared.
If you'd enjoy important time to have time in Japan by Gion-Hanamai, we're happy.


My restaurant is only a course menu. Please enjoy yourself.
Lunch course 5.940 yen (Inc. Tax)
Dinner course 17,820 yen (Inc. Tax)

    Amazing experience with very talented and skilled chef. The food presentation was artistic and the taste and flavor was equally unique. The chef and his assistant were very kind and attentive and used translation app to communicate with us. We found the entire experience to be one we would not have wanted to miss.

    Small 6 seat bar dining room. Very courteous staff. Chef was rather aloof although it may have been a language barrier. Good presentation, fresh, innovative. Overall very good although some dishes were bland in taste.

    What a find! We were blown away with every aspect of this little 6-seat restaurant tucked away on a quiet street in Kyoto. The food was unbelievable. The sashimi was wonderful, the steak cooked to perfection. and the seasonal specialities were fantastic. The chef was personable and charming. It was truly a memorable evening.

    We love this small and excellent restaurant in Kyoto. After visiting it in December 2022, we came back in early August 2023. Again, the food was excellent, the chef very nice and talkative (if you speak a little Japanese - but he ueses an electronic translator, too). He was very happy, that we came to visit again. The presentation of the food is on a very high level of quality, the aromas subtle and very good. We highly recommend this spot - just 6 seats at the counter, but a lot of interaction with the Chef!

    Our thanks to the chef and his staff for the wonderful experience . This was without a doubt one of the best meals we have ever had. As a German living in the US and traveling extensively through Europe as well as North and South America I have had many great meals and this one is definitely in the top 3. Well worth the price.

    Unique dining experience! We were a party of four and had the staff all dedicated to us. The place can only host 6 and it was only us that night. Chef is not only talented but also very nice and funny. We had a personalized menu. We learned a lot about Japanese fine cuisine. Dish presentation was so beautiful. We really enjoyed our time there. It’s expensive but worth it considering we had a private chef that night.

    Chef Maeda prepared an amazing kaiseki meal that was orchestrated like a symphony of the very finest quality ingredients, whether the fish, the beef or the fresh wasabi. Each course was a mini work of art, drawing on the fresh flavors of each ingredient. Definitely one of the best meals I’ve had anywhere. And you can’t beat the one-to-one service, with the chef describing and explaining the features of each course. An unforgettable dining experience.
