The Restaurant
Located near Kennin-ji Temple in Kyoto's Gion district, Kenninji Gion Maruyama offers a refined kaiseki experience within a striking Sukiya-style building. Chef Yoshio Maruyama, drawing from his extensive training, opened this establishment ten years after his original Gion Maruyama. For six consecutive years, the restaurant has maintained two Michelin stars, a testament to its dedication to Kyoto cuisine as a comprehensive art form. Here, the spirit of tea ceremony informs every detail, from the meticulously arranged tatami rooms adorned with seasonal scrolls and flowers to the purification rituals at the entrance. The tasting menu showcases seasonal flavors, incorporating elements of Kyoto's traditional events. Each dish is thoughtfully composed, reflecting a deep understanding of balance and presentation, appealing to all five senses.
