Tozentei

Located on the antique shopping street in Kyoto, Shinmonzen Street, one can find this traditional Kyoto restaurant that encompasses the essence of genuine Kyoto cuisine. The chef and owner of Tozentei is Toshiro Watanabe, who dedicated his years to training in multiple first-class restaurants in Kyoto for over three decades to learn the ins and outs of the Kyoto cuisine craft. When he became independent, he used the knowledge he acquired to craft his very own cooking techniques that no one else can mimic. Chef Watanabe will procure the ingredients himself each morning based on the guests he’s expecting for the day. Expect seasonal dishes prepared in the best way possible to bring out the umami flavor of the ingredients. Tozentei’s kaiseki cuisine is also presented in an intriguing dish arrangement that accentuates the whole dining experience. This Kyoto restaurant is one that will stimulate all five of your senses like no other.
