MK Guide Recommends
Gion Sakagawa is a kaiseki restaurant that captures the essence of Kyoto dining in an omakase experience served entirely at the counter. Chef Masakatsu Sakagawa guides each service with rhythm and restraint, leading guests through seasonal courses that emphasize balance over excess. The space itself is designed for focus: no background music, no distractions—only the gentle flow of culinary artistry unfolding before you. With three precise seatings each day, the restaurant maintains consistency without losing warmth. It’s a showcase of control, rooted in Kyoto’s tradition but refreshingly free of pretense.
