The Restaurant
Hyotei, a venerable Kyoto institution tracing its origins back 450 years to a teahouse near Nanzenji Temple, offers an exquisite journey into kaiseki cuisine. Now helmed by chef Yoshihiro Takahashi, the restaurant holds three Michelin stars, a testament to its unwavering commitment to culinary excellence. The serene ambiance emphasizes the tea ceremony's virtues of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility. Diners are seated in private tatami rooms overlooking a meticulously maintained Japanese garden, creating an intimate and refined setting. The restaurant is known for its Hyotei egg, a tradition passed down through generations. Over the years, subtle innovations have catered to evolving palates, blending tradition with contemporary tastes. The tasting menu showcases the freshest seasonal ingredients, prepared with precision and artistry, offering a sublime take on Japan's culinary heritage.
