Kyoto Kiyama - Michelin 1-Star

A Restaurant Centered on Sacred Water
Kyoto Kiyama 木山

Located at the southern end of the sacred Sakaimachi exit, Kiyama Restaurant is on the same line as the city used by the Kyoto Imperial Palace. That sacred water became the center of the Kiyama restaurant, and this sacred water is used not only in all dishes, but also in the fresh green tea that you will drink.

Seasonal flowers will greet you, and you will fall into the magic of a quiet and slowly flowing time. Feel the atmosphere of Kiyama along the stepping stones where Uchimizu (Japanese purification ritual) shines.

Impressive Harmony of Courses

Kiyama pursues overall harmony rather than one튀는 taste while proceeding with all courses. Although it uses sauces that are not strong, it is characterized by the fact that the taste of the original ingredients is deep and the identity is clear.

The fact that adding too much flavor to good ingredients is 오히려 a loss! Everyone knows that, right?
 

What kind of dish is Kaiseki?

Kaiseki refers to traditional Japanese course meals that are eaten one by one in a set order. It is often served at Japanese restaurants in luxury hotels or 고급 restaurants (료테이) that serve Japanese cuisine, and is often eaten at banquets or dinners. It also emphasizes seasonality by using high-quality ingredients.

The course you have chosen may vary slightly depending on the seasonal ingredients and the freshness of the day, so visit Kiyama and look forward to seeing what dishes they will present!

Cozy Atmosphere of Kiyama

Like Kaiseki, which focuses on the original taste of each ingredient, the interior is also clean and calm without any unnecessary details. There are a variety of seats available, from counter seats to private rooms, making it a suitable restaurant for any gathering.
