Chef Masaki Izumi, who was said to be the best apprentice from the former renowned Japanese restaurant Sakurada, now runs Wagokoro Izumi which continues to be a Michelin 2-stars kaiseki restaurant since 2015.
An enthusiast of “Utsuwa”, traditional Japanese tableware, Chef Masaki Izumi lives by the words “The utsuwa is a kimono for cuisine”. He goes on to say “Needless to say, the food is also of great importance. But the tableware, silverware and the alcove where art or flowers are displayed is everything that decorates the restaurant and all of these make you feel the season. This is the spirit of Japanese Cuisine.”
Wagokoro Izumi is an authentic and acclaimed establishment which combines the 3 important requisites: cuisine, tableware and hospitality together with beautiful and well-balanced dishes. Experience the richness of the four seasons of Japan at Wagokoro Izumi on your next visit to Kyoto.
