A few minutes' walk from Arashiyama Station, I visited "Kyoto Kiccho Arashiyama Main Store," surrounded by the majestic nature along the Oi River, overlooking the Togetsukyo Bridge.This restaurant is a world-class establishment that has maintained its Michelin three-star status for many years, inheriting the aesthetic of its founder, Seiji Yuki, who laid the foundation for modern Japanese cuisine.It is a special sanctuary that VIPs and food enthusiasts from both Japan and abroad dream of visiting at least once in their lifetime, truly a cultural heritage that Japan proudly presents to the world.♦︎ An otherworldly private space enveloped in a historic garden and overwhelming design ── The sukiya-style building standing on the vast grounds overwhelms you with its refined air and high-class traditional Japanese beauty from the moment you step inside.All the rooms you are guided to are fully private, allowing you to enjoy the magnificent Japanese garden that showcases the beauty of each season.From the carefully selected hanging scrolls in the tokonoma to the exquisite tableware, there is a relentless pursuit of beauty without compromise.The warm and meticulous hospitality provided by the top-notch staff is exceptional, allowing you to immerse yourself in a luxurious experience that feels like a dream.♦︎ The menu we enjoyed this time ── 【Ise Lobster with Vinegar】 【Meita Flatfish Sashimi】 【Otoro and Turban Shell】 【Sea Urchin and Summer Vegetables】 【Appetizer Platter】 【Grilled Sweetfish】 【Braised Eggplant and Okra】 【Eel and Corn Rice】 【Beef Simmered Dish】 【Fruit Dessert】 【Shaved Ice】♦︎ The potential of the ingredients and overall impressions ── The dishes served not only gather the finest high-quality ingredients from all over Japan but also showcase an impressive composition that brings out the full potential of the ingredients through exquisite dashi depth and the chef's remarkable cooking and knife skills.From the breathtakingly vibrant appetizer platter to the perfectly expressed seasonal soup, sashimi, and the beautifully cooked premium clay pot rice that concludes the meal, each dish is a work of art that satisfies all five senses. It goes far beyond just being delicious.The vitality of Japan's seasons and the chef's relentless pursuit of excellence resonate deeply, creating an unforgettable experience of perfect quality. It was a great meal.Thank you for reading until the end, from the reviewer "Instagram@_1show." I appreciate all your likes, follows, and saves of the restaurant.
