About Gion Karyo

An intimate kaiseki restaurant in the heart of Gion offering a Michelin-starred multi-course dinner. Each season brings a new menu spotlighting Kyoto's finest local ingredients — bamboo shoots in spring, matsutake mushrooms in autumn. The presentation is a work of art, with each course plated on antique ceramics.
