A combined Edomae sushi and tempura course with Kyoto vegetable appetizers.
Why we chose it
A reason to go.
Sushi and tempura give this course two distinct textures to explore. The published details, including red- or white-vinegar rice and three salts, make seasoning part of the interest alongside fish and frying.

When to choose something else
Choose OOKINI for a sushi-led meal with Kyoto-vegetable influences; choose Seiwasou when the garden setting is the main attraction.
At Seiwasou in Kyoto’s Fushimi district, seasonal kaiseki and a Japanese garden give a meal room to unfold. Here is what makes the setting worth the journey.
KYO SUSHI OOKINI offers a reason to plan a meal around Mibudera rather than defaulting to the busiest evening streets.

Pickled Kyoto vegetables and simmered conger eel give OOKINI’s published repertoire a more specific identity than a generic sushi menu. The neighbourhood setting in Mibu suits an evening planned around the meal.

Fushimi spring water in the stock, seasonal cooking and a garden viewed between courses give Seiwasou three reasons to stay awhile. It is our setting-led choice for an occasion with enough time for the meal and its surroundings.
