Located near Yasaka Pagoda in Kyoto’s Higashiyama district, Kyoto Cuisine Shuhaku is a Japanese restaurant led by Chef Nobuhisa Yoshida. Drawing on his experience in both French and Japanese cuisine, Chef Yoshida creates Kyoto cuisine infused with a spirit of creativity and individuality.

Using carefully selected ingredients sourced primarily from Kyoto, the restaurant presents dishes thoughtfully crafted to highlight the character of each ingredient. Appetizers alone incorporate more than twenty varieties of vegetables, showcasing the richness of the season. Traditional Kyoto specialties such as kabura‑mushi (steamed fish with grated turnip on top), mackerel sushi, and rice cooked in a traditional okudosan stove sit alongside dishes that reflect French influences, including abalone and foie gras, and a black bean Mont Blanc. Enjoy Shuhaku’s unique fusion of Japanese and French sensibilities, expressed through a single seasonal course.

The restaurant’s high ceilings create a space that balances the intimacy of a small kappo restaurant with a sense of openness. Guests may choose between counter seating and raised seating with chairs, while the counter offers a particularly immersive experience, allowing diners to enjoy the energy and craftsmanship of the chefs at work.

Surrounded by the atmosphere of Kyoto, savor a dining experience that brings together seasonal ingredients, Kyoto tradition, and a touch of originality.
