The Restaurant

Located just steps from Kawaramachi Station, Kikunoi Roan offers a refreshing, modern take on Kyoto cuisine. Yoshiharu Murata, carrying on the spirit of his brother at Kikunoi's main restaurant, seeks out new flavors while honoring tradition. The restaurant's name, given by a Zen teacher, reflects a wish for Murata to approach his cuisine with sincerity and without restraint. While the main restaurant is known for its classic presentation, Roan Kikunoi distinguishes itself with a ten-seat counter, offering diners a front-row seat to the culinary performance. Awarded two Michelin stars, Kikunoi Roan presents a seasonal tasting menu that emphasizes presentation and the natural flavors of Kyoto. The upper floor features a tea room, providing a tranquil space to complete the dining experience.
