Kyoto Cuisine Rokusei

Established in the 32nd year of the Meiji era (1899), this renowned Kyoto cuisine restaurant boasts a history of over 120 years. Currently situated along the Biwako Canal near Heian Shrine in the Okazaki area, it stands as a testament to the enduring tradition and culinary excellence of Kyoto's gastronomic culture.

A signature offering is the "Teoke Bento," a visually stunning bento served in a beautiful wooden bucket crafted by Living National Treasure Kiyoshi Nakagawa. This bento features a colorful array of seasonal ingredients, showcasing the charm of Kyoto cuisine. Another highlight is the "Creative Heian Dynasty Cuisine," a modern interpretation of the meals enjoyed by aristocrats of the Heian period, inspired by historical texts. The dishes, served in authentic period-style settings, offer a taste of the origins of Kyoto cuisine. This menu requires a reservation at least a week in advance and is available for private dining in tatami rooms for two or more guests.

Rokusei also serves a unique soufflé in its café section. Inspired by the previous owner's experience in France, this soufflé is carefully baked for 25 minutes upon order, rising fluffily from its cocotte, making it a hit on social media. Alongside classic flavors like vanilla and matcha, the café also offers limited-edition soufflés made with seasonal ingredients, changing monthly.
