Two Stars: Excellent cooking
Jugyuan is named after the famous Zen painting series, Jugyuzu, or ‘Pictures of Ten Oxen’. It has a sukiya-style house and beautiful garden. The chef incorporates seasonal festivals into his menu, imparting a sense of the customs of the ancient capital. Part of the attraction of Jugyuan is that meat dishes are a key part of the menu. Western techniques of flame control are applied here, thanks to the involvement of Hiramatsu, famous for its French cuisine. Kodaiji Jugyuan explores new directions while safeguarding the traditions of Kyoto gastronomy.
