MK Guide Recommends
Gion Sakagawa is a kaiseki restaurant that distills the spirit of Kyoto dining into an omakase sequence served entirely at the counter. Chef Masakatsu Sakagawa leads each service with rhythm and restraint, guiding guests through seasonal courses that favor balance over indulgence. The space itself is designed for concentration: no background music, no distractions—only the soft cadence of culinary technique unfolding before you. With three precise seatings daily, the restaurant maintains consistency without sacrificing warmth. It’s a study in control, rooted in Kyoto’s tradition yet refreshingly free of pretense.
