Description

The spirit of chakaiseki suffuses the menu of Gion Matayoshi. Deep-fried sesame tofu is served between courses as a palate cleanser. Tofu is wrapped in whole wheat flour from Okinawa, in homage to the chef’s native region. Attention is paid above all to the hassun appetisers. In keeping with the elegance of Gion, these appetisers are the chef’s masterpiece, presenting old-school cooking methods through cooked and vinegared classics. Kyoto ceramic dinnerware is painted with seasonal images such as cherry blossoms in spring and scarlet leaves in autumn.
