“Mitsuyasu (Oryori Mitsuyasu)” is a Japanese Kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto. Limited to only two reservations per day, this traditional Kyoto establishment is located in a 150-year-old machiya (traditional wooden townhouse) standing on the grounds of the Heian Imperial Palace. You can immerse yourself in the essence of Kyoto's heritage and hospitality. Unlike a typical counter setup, the restaurant features a unique open kitchen style. Within the serene and tranquil ambiance of the machiya's private rooms, you can witness our skilled Chef Yuichi Mitsuyasu meticulously crafting each dish. Allow yourself to savor the special atmosphere of Mitsuyasu as you observe the artistry behind the culinary creations.

Cuisine & Quality Ingredients of Mitsuyasu

The taste of the dishes at Mitsuyasu is refined, allowing you to experience a delicate balance of flavors and ingredients. The owner's commitment to seeking the finest ingredients takes him to various regions, where he visits trusted farmers and is inspired by the unique qualities of the ingredients he acquires. For instance, in their "Hassun" course, Mitsuyasu breaks away from the traditional approach of combining seafood and mountain ingredients, instead opting to showcase the full potential of vegetables and mushrooms. They artfully incorporate the vibrant colors of spring wild vegetables, create refreshing dishes with summer vegetables served chilled, highlight the richness of autumn's harvest with chestnuts and mushrooms taking center stage, and embrace the comforting warmth of winter root vegetables. Their abundant creativity is evident in the dishes, which celebrate the blessings of each season from the earth.
