Custard dessert at Tozentei
The interior of Tozentei

Both Jizoin and Tozentei are recommended for visiting. If you are fond of Japanese cuisine, come to this restaurant. To taste nicely cooked fish, soup and sea urchin is a truly nice idea.

The success of Tozentei would be impossible without the energetic staff. Good service is something guests appreciate here. You will definitely like the cool atmosphere and lovely decor. It's a Michelin one-star restaurant, this award is usually given for providing delicious food.

A MICHELIN star: cuisine of great finesse. Worth the step!
Good standard.

In a residential area near Kitano Tenmangu, this family-run restaurant occupies a converted former home. Japanese touches and a homely warmth give the space an inviting feel. The cooking lets the ingredients speak for themselves, while inventive pairings bring added interest... More info

My husband and I have eaten at Michelin star restaurants all over the world (not a flex, just trying to give some background) and this was by far the best dining experience we had while on our four city holiday in Japan. We ate at a famous Kyoto three Michelin star restaurant a few days before visiting Tozentei that did not even remotely compare to this lovely restaurant. The food at Tozentei was fantastic, fresh, interesting, and satiating. The service was warm, quick, and genuine. If you are in Kyoto, do not miss an opportunity to eat here. Skip the other highly rated restaurants! Thank you so much for a beautiful meal, and lovely conversation. We don’t speak Japanese, and their English is limited, but that didn’t stop us from talking about the food, the weather, and about our travels. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The evening was a complete gastronomical delight. Masatoshi San and his family were such great hosts. From sharing the nuances of how each dish is sourced with ingredients to how to savor the delightful meals. We were not the Michelin assessors but can totally see why this family run home continues to make waves. Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

My husband and I will cherish our dinner at Tozentei. It was a very special experience for us. I will recommend it to anyone I meet who is traveling to Kyoto. The family was so gracious and warm. Every dish was exquisite and special. Thank you very much. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Dinner
