Japan Restaurants: Inside Tour Of Kyoto 3-Michelin Star Kikunoi Honten (2024)

Alvin Zhou Films (August 17, 2024): Hidden amidst the tranquil green setting of Kyoto, lies Kikunoi Honten, a world-renowned 3-Michelin Star kaiseki restaurant that has served guests traditional Japanese cuisine for over 100 years.

Housed in a mansion that resembles a samurai residence and teahouse, Kikunoi’s dining atmosphere is like something I’ve never seen. From traditional tatami mat rooms with unique flower arrangements and hanging scrolls, to the views of beautiful gardens that surround the estate, I was in awe the second I stepped inside. The food served at Kikunoi is on a level I couldn’t imagine.

Each course is prepared with ingredients that can only be harvested 10 days of out of the year, and the menu changes constantly to reflect the ebb and flow of nature and its seasons. 35 cooks fill the kitchen, each focused on a single task. It was a sight to behold.

I am beyond honored to have been able to spend time in such close quarters with the team inside their establishment – every second was a dream to film. Yoshihiro Murata is at the helm, leading his brigade of chefs and cooks to something exquisite and beautiful. I met and talked with many of the staff – they were all so kind, inviting, warm, and fiercely talented in the kitchen.

FOOD & WINEInside Food&Wine Magazine November 2022 Issue:

  • On the cover this month we have Irish chef Trevor Moran who runs Locust in Nashville, which was recently named America’s best restaurant. The restaurant is unique in many ways, but mostly because it only has 36 seats, doesn’t post menus on its website, and opens for just three days a week. 
  • In spirits this month, our expert Oisin Davis chats with Remy Savage, the Franco-Irishman bringing art into cocktail bars. Savage is known for being one of the most creative and dynamic forces in the global cocktail industry and has been behind some of the most celebrated and awarded cocktail bars in the world, all of which are fueled by his intense love of philosophy and art. 
  • Korean-style fried chicken restaurant Chimac has just opened its second outlet in Terenure, Dublin and has shared delicious Sunday lunch recipes to try this month. We also have recipes from Rosheen Kaul and Joanna Hu’s cookbook Chinese-ish and Thai recipes from the new Giggling Squid cookbook.

Food & Wine Restaurant of the Year 2022: Locust, Nashville

Locust in Nashville is the most perfect restaurant for our time.

Locust is open three days a week, for five and a half hours a day. Two hours are dedicated to lunch; the remaining time is for dinner service. On average, there are about six dishes on the menu, plus the occasional special (or three). The wine list is just as short. It’s hard to define what exactly the restaurant is, but as of right now, the food mostly has a Japanese bent. And on any given night, there might be a heavy metal soundtrack blasting from the open kitchen, with a few chefs head-banging away as they prepare your next dish. Locust is fully, uncompromisingly, and unapologetically itself—which is exactly what makes it so playful and brilliant.

Profile: Bryce Shuman’s ‘Wood-Fired Flavors’

“I found my way to James Beard-nominated chef Bryce Shuman (and his succulent pork ribs) during the summer of 2020 when he was offering a barbecue rib delivery service in Brooklyn and Manhattan out of the back of his Subaru. The food, the delivery, the entire presentation was flawless, ingenious—beautiful to the eye and supremely mouth-watering.” — Chris Ohlson (Director) Read more on NOWNESS
