The Restaurant
Isshisoden Nakamura, a venerable Kyoto institution with over 180 years of history, represents the pinnacle of traditional kaiseki cuisine. The restaurant has been awarded three Michelin stars consecutively since 2011. Sixth-generation chef Motokazu Nakamura carries on the family's culinary legacy, passed down through generations. The name "Isshisoden" signifies the transmission of culinary secrets, a responsibility Chef Nakamura embraces with a dedication honed through spiritual training at Tenryuji Temple. The flavors of white miso zoni and tilefish baked in sake are truths that cannot be expressed in words. Beyond technique, Isshisoden Nakamura embodies the spirit of *ichi-go ichi-e*, treasuring each encounter and striving for constant improvement.
