Tracked on 1 list across 1 authority.

Japan, 〒605-0802 Kyoto, Higashiyama Ward, Yamatochō, 3−2 Website ↗ Japanese

The restaurant is situated behind Minami-za, a theatre that has flourished since the early 17th century. The name HANA-Kitcho combines ‘hana’ from ‘hanamachi’ meaning geisha quarter, where it is situated, with ‘Kitcho’, the name of its celebrated origin. The framed calligraphy was written by Yuki Teiichi, the restaurant’s founder. The interior was crafted by multiple sculptors, the theme being a modern version of the Rimpa School of Painting. In keeping with the founder’s spirit, the chef weaves cultural elements into festive and seasonal decorations, exercising his talents to create kaiseki that reflects the seasons.
