MK Guide Recommends
Tucked above a narrow street in Kyoto’s historic Gion district, Gion Sekiya offers a peaceful counter-only kappo where the evening flows with the chef’s rhythm. Seasonal ingredients dictate the menu: fresh sashimi prepared daily, charcoal-grilled eel from Mikawa, and carefully crafted courses available by reservation. The simple interior radiates warmth, emphasizing the food and quiet conversations across the counter. With only a few seats, the setting remains cozy, providing a retreat from the lantern-lit crowds outside. Gion Sekiya embodies sincerity and restraint, a hidden gem where Kyoto dining stays in memory long after the meal.
