Iida

Described as the "kimono of cooking" for its rich traditionalism, Iida is a well-regarded kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto, with 3 Michelin stars (Michelin Guide 2020) to its name. It's a known fact that Iida uses antique serving-ware by famous potters like Eiraku, Rosanjin, and Baccarat x Tojiro Harumi to serve their exquisitely prepared dishes. Sitting quietly on Aneyakoji-dori, the restaurant offers an in-depth glance into Japanese culture with every bite, and every moment experienced in the traditional tatami Japanese room. Iida's omakase menu changes monthly. Look out for carp with grilled awa-fu and leek soup during spring, moon-shaped kudze tofu made from soy milk soup in fall, and fugu tessa with sieved shirako in winter.
