Gion Sasaki
Japanese
A counter in Gion where the kitchen is the stage and every seat faces it. This kaiseki restaurant holds three Michelin stars, earned through a format the team calls a kind of theatre: the chef and his apprentices cook in full view, turning classic Japanese technique into something that moves. The collaboration between the senior chef and his younger disciples is the engine here, and the menu reflects that push and pull rather than hiding it.
