Description
You can find this traditional restaurant in downtown Kyoto. Sakuragawa is not only famous among the locals of the city but also with everyone else in Japan as well as visiting tourists. It offers both kaiseki and kappo cuisine — kaiseki is the more formal and classic style of Japanese dining where the dishes served in a course are artfully presented, while kappo cuisine is also based on ceremonial feasting, but is less formal, emphasizing the relationship between the chef and the guest.
Sakuragawa is perfect for those who are interested in the culinary world of kaiseki cuisine. The chef hand-selects ingredients that are in season and prepares them for the guests in a traditional way that’s unique to the restaurant.
It’s advised to reserve well in advance as Sakuragawa is known to be booked up.

Absolutely the best and most delicious meal we had while in Japan. I was a little nervous about trying Kaiseki because of our western palates but we had the best time in this beautiful restaurant watching the chefs perform their magic. HIGHLY recommend.
