Restaurant Details

Takasegawa Maki is an elegant Japanese restaurant tucked away along the tranquil Takase River in Kyoto’s Shimogyo Ward, specializing in refined cuisine centered on the seasonal bounty of the Seto Inland Sea.

This carefully layered preparation brings out the natural flavors of each ingredient, creating a deep, memorable taste that has captivated countless guests.

The menu features seasonal courses centered around fresh seafood from the Seto Inland Sea, reflecting the subtle transitions of the year.
