From the chef
Our spirited chef started with a yearning for beautiful, delicious food

He was born in 1975 in Muromachi, Kyoto. His grandfather was a craftsman who painted ceramics in the Yuzen style, and he says, "He'd often take me to restaurants and art galleries when I was young." Having been raised around so many beautiful and delicious things, he longed to become a chef of Kyoto-style cuisine, and after graduating from high school, he headed down that path. He trained at famous restaurants like "Gion Sasaki", worked as head chef of "Warabi no Sato", and in 2008 opened "Gion Nishikawa". His motto is to be open and welcoming, and he serves his guests with a friendy smile and candid voice.
