About Shimmonzen Yonemura

Chef Yonemura's creative use of seasonal ingredients is a culinary masterpiece that cannot be categorized as either French or Japanese cuisine, and each dish is sure to surprise and impress.

You can enjoy innovative, genre-defying cuisine that has wowed many food connoisseurs.

Located in front of the gate of Chion-in Temple in Higashiyama, Kyoto, the restaurant has the elegant appearance of a traditional Kyoto townhouse. The stylish interior, tastefully furnished, offers counter seats and sofa seats where you can enjoy a live dining experience right in front of the kitchen on the first floor, and table seats on the second floor, all of which provide a relaxing atmosphere.

Please enjoy the encounter of seasonal ingredients with the art of cooking, and the wonderful combination of Japanese and Western techniques in the course.

    Outstanding. Amongst the top 10 meals of my life. Impeccable service and accommodating. Incredible value and a great range of non-alcoholic drink options for me
