Enter the enchanting world of Mikuri in Gion, Kyoto, a legendary location responsible for shaping Japanese cuisine as we know it. This restaurant is a culinary haven where the art of Japanese tradition seamlessly intertwines with refined wine selections, promising an extraordinary dining experience.

Here at Mikuri, wine is taken seriously, and for good reason. The name Erabu Nishibetto — Mikuri’s resident sommelier with over 40 years of experience — is enough to make Japanese wine aficionados’ eyes widen. Mr Nishibetto generously lends his extensive knowledge to the restaurant’s impressive wine collection that includes over 300 varieties from over 100 brands.

Visitors who opt for their popular wine pairing course can expect a kaiseki menu — meticulously crafted with seasonal ingredients, served omakase-style with the final selection left up to the chef’s discretion — with five to six types of wine that are selected beforehand by Mr Nishibetto from their expansive collection.

Mikuri isn't just a restaurant; it's a culinary sanctuary where tradition, innovation, and wine converge to create a memorable dining adventure. For those seeking an elevated and harmonious dining experience in the heart of Kyoto, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit.
