Doujin

Due to the anticipation surrounding the chef behind this Kyoto kaiseki restaurant, it became one of the most popular places in town just days after opening, with the entire year of bookings filling up. His reputation well and truly preceded him. You’ll believe the hype however, once you try his delicious seasonal dishes, paired with carefully selected sake which he samples and collects himself. Dishes might include grilled wagyu beef, matsutake mushrooms, and tuna sashimi, but the exact offerings change week after week. The tea-house style atmosphere inside is as refined and elegant as the dishes — a place where you can leave modern worries behind and relax into a world of tradition and history.
