More information on Hyotei

Rightly famed and exclusive kaiseki (Japanese full-course) dining situated in an historic location near Murin-an in the east of the city. Reservations are absolutely essential and English is spoken. Established in the late nineteenth century Hyotei serves exquisite multi-course feasts, which are a treat for both the eye and the palate. Each course comes beautifully presented on fine tableware and is served in the guest's private teahouse set in a stunning garden. The food and dishes are carefully selected to reflect the differing seasons. For example, you can enjoy a light, hot season breakfast asagayu, or the winter dish uzuragayu, quails eggs with a rice broth. They do not work on 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month.
