Yukifuran Sato

Kyoto, Japan

This intimate eight-seat restaurant feels worlds away from modern Tokyo. Named after characters meaning "a retreat where happiness rains down," Yukifuran delivers a deeply individual experience. Seasonality is at the heart of the experience, from spring bamboo shoots and summer ayu to autumn unagi and winter game. The kitchen specialises in charcoal-grilled cuisine, with no set menu. Instead, each meal is shaped around guests' preferences, the season's finest ingredients and the day's market offerings. What follows is a highly personalised procession of beautifully composed dishes, each presented on thoughtfully chosen ceramics that reflect the traditions of Japanese dining.
