Discover Kyoto restaurants and fine dining at Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto, where three distinctive dining concepts unfold around the 800-year-old Shakusui-en pond garden. From authentic Edomae sushi served omakase-style at Sushi Ginza Onodera and premium charcoal-grilled cuisine at EMBA KYOTO GRILL to signature cocktails, artisanal local spirits and classic Japanese whiskies at SEY, each offering its own expression of Kyoto’s culinary culture beside Shakusui-en.
