Hibiki

Hibiki is a Japanese restaurant in Gion, Kyoto that specializes in the culinary traditions associated with the Japanese 24-season calendar. They believe that the food we consume during various events can improve our overall well-being. By incorporating seasonal ingredients from Kyoto and other regions, they hope to inspire a more meaningful and rewarding life. Hibiki aims to create a space to savor authentic ingredients and dishes in a serene and unpretentious environment. Each dish is expertly prepared by Chef Yoshizo Kokubo, who trained at Bellecour (a French restaurant), Yongjuro (specializing in Shojin cuisine at Kurama Temple), and Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto before establishing his independent venture. He believes cooking serves as the catalyst for conversations and enjoys engaging with guests. Lunchtime offers an affordable way to enjoy traditional cuisine, while dinner specializes in seasonal kaiseki course meals. Enjoy your meal paired with a fine selection of sake, while relaxing in a modern Japanese interior.
