Hanakagami

Set within a traditional townhouse in Kamigyo Ward's Suehirocho, not far from Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Hanakagami serves seasonal course menus in an ambiance informed by tea ceremony aesthetics and the rhythmic clack of a courtyard garden water fountain. Thoughtful touches, from decorative alcove ornaments to carefully selected seasonal ceramics, create a calm, quietly composed setting that deepens the appreciation of every dish.

Each course reflects meticulous preparation and the shifting seasons, featuring deeply flavorful dashi-infused soup bowls, sashimi of seasonal catches like pike conger and red clam, and fragrant salt-grilled sweetfish. Comforting warm preparations such as simmered tilefish and steamed sushi also appear across the menu, concluding gracefully with desserts like ice cream or fruit gelee.

Both lunch and dinner are presented as multi-course meals, and dining here requires an advance reservation, so booking early once your schedule is set is strongly recommended. Table seating provides a relaxed setting to focus on each course, and payments can be made using major credit cards or PayPay.
