Chihana

Michelin ☆☆☆

Chihana is tucked away down an alleyway in the geisha district of Gion, its history here dating back to 1946, with the head chef Katsuyoshi Nagata having taken over from his late father in 2006.

There is a counter with seven seats and a private room seating a similar number. Chihana offers a complete dining experience – perfection is aimed for in every possible way. Food sourcing is exceptional, dishes pride themselves in colour, presentation, texture and taste. Cooking is precise; courses are served in beautiful antique wares and the service is attentive, polite and thoughtful.
