Thank you for visiting our website.
Kyoto cuisine places great importance on harmony — possessing a quiet strength without excessive prominence.
We believe there are four essential forms of harmony:
First, harmony with the seasons.
Second, harmony with the ingredients.
Third, harmony with the vessels and the space itself.
Fourth, harmony with the physical and emotional state of the person who enjoys the meal.
Only when these four harmonies come together do we believe that “true deliciousness” is born.
We regard these four harmonies as the guiding principle of our lives and craft. Without arrogance, we will continue to devote ourselves each day to serving every guest with sincerity, never losing sight of our core spirit, while constantly striving for even greater heights.
Dear Valued Guests,
We are pleased to announce the opening of our kaiseki kappo restaurant, “Koori,” in the Shijo-Karasuma area.
Koori is the realization of a long-cherished dream.
After many years of honing our skills in the culinary world, we are committed to embracing the spirit of “one guest, one service,” and take great pleasure in dedicating our time and care to each and every guest.
Through Kyoto vegetables, seasonal ingredients, and a carefully curated selection of fine sake, we hope you will enjoy a moment of true relaxation, away from the bustle of daily life.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you.
Respectfully yours,
June 2026

Signature Dish: Kibune Nabe

Why Soft-Shelled Turtle & Eel Shabu-Shabu in the Height of Summer?
Modern summers are filled with powerful air conditioning and ice-cold drinks.
As a result, summer has surprisingly become the season when our body’s core—especially the stomach and intestines—is often at its coldest.
This hidden internal chill is one of the major causes of summer fatigue and low energy.
That is why we proudly present our signature seasonal hot pot, crafted to nourish both body and soul.
“Soft-Shelled Turtle × Eel”
A rich golden broth made from soft-shelled turtle, naturally abundant in collagen and amino acids.
Delicate slices of eel, packed with vitamins, are gently swished through the simmering broth before being enjoyed.
The comforting warmth deeply warms the digestive system, helps restore balance to the body, supports healthy circulation, and replenishes energy depleted by the summer heat.
This dish is also a luxurious beauty treatment from within.
The collagen-rich broth and nutrient-dense ingredients help replenish moisture and support skin that has been stressed by intense sunlight and dry summer air.
A truly indulgent way to nourish both body and skin.
“Fight heat with warmth.”
Experience for yourself the remarkable lightness of your body and the healthy glow of your skin the very next morning.
