The Restaurant
Shinmonzen Yonemura presents an innovative culinary experience in Kyoto, where chef Masayasu Yonemura blends Japanese and Western influences. The restaurant, located near Chion-in Temple, occupies an elegant Kyoto-style building, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere with an open kitchen. Yonemura, who describes himself as an "ever-changing cook," draws on his extensive experience to craft cuisine that transcends traditional boundaries. Shinmonzen Yonemura has earned two Michelin stars for its unique fusion, which cannot be easily categorized as purely French or Japanese. The restaurant's interior features a counter made from a single plank of wood and comfortable seating, with art and antiques adorning the second floor. The tasting menu showcases seasonal ingredients, stimulating all five senses and reflecting Yonemura's aesthetic sensibilities in every detail, from the tableware to the ambiance.
