The Restaurant

Located in Kyoto's Gion district, Ryō-shō offers a definitive kaiseki experience that exemplifies Japanese fine dining. Chef Makoto Fujiwara presents a tasting menu that masterfully showcases seasonal ingredients, blending tradition with modern culinary techniques. While rooted in inherited traditions like exquisite soup dishes and sashimi, the tasting menu also borrows inspiration from French cuisine. Ryō-shō has earned two Michelin stars for its efforts. The restaurant's name, Ryō-shō, translates to "lofty aspirations," reflecting chef Fujiwara's commitment to delighting his guests. The dining room features an eight-seat counter crafted from a single piece of Japanese cypress, while a tranquil private room is located on the second floor. The experience is enhanced by antique Imari porcelain and crystal glassware.
