Restaurant Details
Gion district is well-known as the main workplace of Kyoto’s iconic geisha and maiko. It also happens to host some of Kyoto’s best traditional restaurants.
In a traditional teahouse among the old entertainment district, Gion Bengara offers diners a Kyoto-style kaiseki experience through both authentic atmosphere and taste. With private rooms and sunken kotatsu tables, Gion Bengara is perfect for special and intimate celebrations with loved ones or co-workers.
Known for his time as head chef in a Kitashinchi restaurant and later in one of Gion’s most famous sakura-niku horse meat restaurants, Fukui-born Chef Noishiki Haruyuki brings his 35 years of experience to the table to create beautiful and delicious works of art. Each dish in his extensive course menus is plated to perfection, almost too beautiful to eat.
From fresh conger eel to perfectly crisped tempura, Gion Bengara’s dishes bring out the best in Japan’s high-quality, seasonal produce. Fish are prepared in techniques rare among craftsmen, giving diners an exquisite course of everything Kyoto has to offer.
