Kyoto, Japan

The charm of Koryori Takaya is that it’s a kappo, but with the comfortable familiarity of a neighbourhood eatery. Freshly cooked dishes and smiling conversation put diners in a good mood. For lunch, set meals with a variety of small side dishes are served; in the evening, the chef displays his talent with omakase, concluding with rice in earthenware pots and accompaniments. A choice of pickled tuna, grilled fish or sukiyaki makes the end of the evening fun.
