Shichiku Kiko

Shichiku Kiko, named after the Aoi flower (which holds special significance for the chef), focuses on seasonal Japanese cuisine. With a bow tie and a smile, Chef Takami Murata welcomes you into his restaurant, channeling the spirit of his hometown near Lake Biwa. Murata and his wife treat guests like old friends, ever so chirpy and always happy for friendly chatters between bites. Diners settle in for a multi-course feast that changes monthly and expect an array of delights, from appetizers and soups to sashimi, perfectly grilled and steamed mains, and rice served in earthenware pots. Every element, from pickles to the final flourish of dessert, is thoughtfully presented. These exceptional sets' generosity and surprisingly affordable price tag earned Shichiku Kiko a well-deserved Michelin Bib Gourmand award. As you savor the freshest seasonal fish and Kyoto vegetables, don't miss the sake set featuring local Shiga sakes, the perfect way to complement your culinary journey.
