Located in Higashiyama, Kyoto, Kikuno I Main Branch has been serving exquisite cuisine since its establishment in the first year of the Taisho era and has earned three Michelin stars.I enjoyed a course priced at JPY 16,500.The appetizer featured a beautiful presentation with myoga sushi and anago hachiman-maki nestled inside a hozuki (Chinese lantern plant).The seasonal side dish included sea bream and striped jack on a lotus leaf, along with hamo (pike eel).The steamed dish was made with winter melon, served in a winter melon bowl with sushi.The grilled dish featured sweetfish.The main dish was pork kakuni (braised pork belly) accompanied by a delicious potato sauce.The rice course was mozuku (seaweed) zosui (rice soup), served cold and refreshing.And to top it all off, there was rich matcha kakigori (shaved ice).Everything was absolutely delicious!
