The Restaurant

In Kyoto's Gion district, Sumibi Kappo Ifuki offers a distinctive culinary experience rooted in the art of sumibi-kappo, or charcoal-fired kappo. Chef Norio Yamamoto, fascinated by charcoal grilling, spent four years mastering the technique, and opened Ifuki in 2005. Yamamoto prizes fragrance, and the tasting menu is replete with charcoal-grilled aromas. Soup dishes often feature grilled items, their smoky essence infusing the dashi. Guests may select from grilled tilefish, eel, wagyu beef and more. This dedication to his craft has earned Ifuki two Michelin stars. From the primitive technique of char-grilling springs the breath, the iifuki', of the ingredients, hence the name of the restaurant.
