One Star: High quality cooking
Water drawn from a well on the premises is where everything starts for Kiyama. Prix fixe dining begins with the service of plain hot water. The first infusion of dashi is prepared before the guests’ eyes, its aromatic fragrance and clear, refined flavour enlivening each simmered bowl. As the meal draws to a close, the proprietor himself prepares and serves thin tea, a weak matcha. The menu is a hymn of thanks for the pure groundwater of Kyoto that brings out the best in each dish.
