Matsu presents a refined culinary experience on the outskirts of Kyoto, offering a modern take on Kaiseki dining. Helmed by chef Toshio Matsuno, who honed his skills with Alain Ducasse and Grant Achatz, the restaurant blends Japanese tradition with innovative techniques. While the name suggests a focus solely on tempura, Matsu delivers a comprehensive tasting menu that incorporates seasonal ingredients. Located near Arashiyama and the Katsura River, Matsu has earned one Michelin star for its redefinition of the traditional kaiseki meal. The restaurant provides a unique fusion of Japanese and French cuisines, showcasing chef Matsuno's adventurous approach.
