MK Guide Recommends
Gion Nishi delivers Kyoto’s seasonal kaiseki through the hands of Chef Junpei Nishi, whose counter anchors a minimalist space in Gion. Each course showcases ingredient clarity—unadorned cuts, mountain greens, umami-rich broths—paired with a deep sake and wine cellar. The restaurant’s scale is modest, but its attention to pace, temperature, and seasonal transitions makes it a landmark of Kyoto’s culinary precision.
