Sangencha is a kaiseki restaurant set in the narrow, winding alleys of Gion in Kyoto. Its course builds on seasonal ingredients, moving through dashi dishes, sashimi, grilled items, and freshly cooked rice. Reservations are made by phone about two months in advance, and seating is available at the first-floor counter or in second-floor private rooms. The course ends with freshly cooked rice, making the meal substantial.
