One Star: High quality cooking
The ‘Hana’ in the name comes from the restaurant’s location in Kyoto’s geiko quarter (the hanamachi or ‘flower quarter’). The interior is crafted by sculptors on the theme of a modern version of the Rinpa School of Painting. The floral pattern in the traditional washi paper decorating the ground floor corridor is also a nod to the hanamachi. The chequered pattern of moss and marble is a new experiment in décor. This is the only branch of Kyoto Kitcho that offers counter seating. Hassun appetisers are garnished with flowers in season, arranged to suggest views of Mt Arashi.
