A Message from Our CEO

When I was young, and my grandfather was still alive, my family used to gather together every New Years Day.
I remember exchanging New Years' greetings and eating together here at the restaurant.
Now, when I look back on those times, I think that my grandfather was trying to tell us that it is natural and important to celebrate milestones together.
We make it our duty to help our guests celebrate their important life milestones, anniversaries, and other special moments here together. We hope that your time here will be made special with the culinary culture of Kyoto, and Japan at large, as well as full sensory experience of our garden's wonderful ambiance. Our entire staff works together to provide you with high-quality, thoughtful hospitality, so that the memories you make here may be treasured for years to come.
