Masumasu Masuda （ますます増田）

Located in a renovated townhouse in the quiet residential area Nishijin district of Kyoto, Masumasu Masuda offers kaiseki cuisine crafted by an owner‑chef from Nikko, who weaves together Kyoto vegetables with the bounty of his hometown, Tochigi.

The 10‑course menu, including dessert, centers on seasonal Kyoto vegetables and premium seafood, while also incorporating Tochigi specialties such as Itadakimasu trout and Tochigi wagyu beef. Blending traditional techniques with a modern sensibility, the cuisine highlights the umami of the broth and features an abundance of vegetables, creating dishes that are both satisfying and gentle on the stomach.

The restaurant features an elegant, counter‑only setting accompanied by a garden, creating a serene and intimate atmosphere. Watching each dish come together right before your eyes adds to the experience.

Warm hospitality from a former geisha, the welcoming feel of a family‑run establishment, and thoughtfully paired sake and seasonal drinks all contribute to a dining experience where every visit brings new seasonal flavors and lingering impressions.
