Oryori Mashita

A small shop curtain flutters in a Gion shopping street; walk along cobblestones sprinkled with water to a quiet nook where the noise of the high street is soon forgotten. The menu draws inspiration from a list of poetic seasonal terms. Cooking showcases the peak flavours of each ingredient so as to keep in step with the changing seasons. Precise knife work and pairings of foods with tableware express learning accumulated, like tree rings, over many years. A place to experience the understated poise of Japanese cuisine.
