Founded in 1856, Shimogamo Saryo is a long-established Kyoto restaurant specializing in tea ceremony cuisine (cha-kaiseki), preserving its traditions for over 160 years.

Nestled beside the World Heritage Site of Shimogamo Shrine, the restaurant features elegant Japanese architecture, a garden lovingly tended for more than a century, and a refined teahouse, evoking a timeless ambience unique to Kyoto.

Rooted in the principle of dosan doho—“local ingredients, local methods”—the restaurant blends inherited Kyoto cuisine with modern creativity to craft dishes that leave a lasting impression on both the eye and the palate.

At the heart of its hospitality lies an unwavering spirit of care for its guests, welcoming them with settings tailored to every occasion, from celebratory banquets and anniversaries to intimate gatherings with loved ones.

A curated selection of sake and wine further enhances the cuisine, allowing guests to savor the charm of Kyoto with all five senses.
