Kodaiji Wakuden

512 Washiocho, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto, 605-0072, Japan
¥¥¥¥ · Japanese
Two Stars: Excellent cooking

This ryotei brings a fresh breeze to Japanese cuisine, bringing forth young and talented chefs. The fare overflows with rustic beauty. Bold yet refined, the dishes are served on both antique and modern plates. Seasonal ingredients such as Taiza crab and Japanese egg cockle are sourced from the Tango area, northern Kyoto prefecture, where Wakuden was founded. The premises are inspired by tea-ceremony arbours, the hostess gracious, the experience one of unbroken harmony. 

Gastronomy & Sustainability

MICHELIN Green Star

"We engage in organic rice cultivation in Kyotango, which is where we were founded. We spread crab shells supplied by a ryotei over the paddy fields, thereby returning them to the earth as nutrients. The staff help out at rice planting and harvest times, with the harvested rice going to each of the restaurants. We engage in tree planting for forest regeneration, creating the Wakuden no Mori forest."
