🏆 🌟 Star Michelin
Located near Kyoto’s Heian Shrine, Cenci melds Italian heritage cuisine with Japanese techniques.
The entrance of the restaurant is beautiful , with an access through a red-brick tunnel built by chef-owner. The high-octane kitchen is raised above the elegant seating area. Guests can watch Sakamoto and his crew in action.
We were given the lovely private room which had a magnificent view over the indoor garden!
