From the chef
Dedicated to Okumura. Inheriting the tradition of French kaiseki and continuing to evolve.
Mr. Kamitsuji was born in 1980 in Kyoto. The head chef and manager of Gion Okumura. He began his training at age 20 when he got a chance to work with his current restaurant. He learned many aspects of Okumura style, a pioneer of "French Kaiseki," a fusion of French cuisine and Kyoto Kaiseki, including cooking techniques, taste, hospitality, and seasonal arrangements. After years of dedication and training, he assumed his current position in 2018. While preserving the traditions handed down by his predecessors, he also explores new directions by introducing more dishes using local ingredients, shaping a new chapter in the restaurant's history.
