ChefNorio Yamamoto - Meticulously Crafted with the Soul of Fire Techniques
Born in 1972 in Kyoto Prefecture. With relatives who were chefs in Japanese and Chinese cuisine, it was natural for him to aspire to become a chef. He entered the culinary world at the age of 16 and honed his skills at establishments such as "Kawashou Souen" in Tsukiji and "Ajihana" in Gion. In 2005, he opened "Sumibi Kappo Ifuki" in Pontocho, serving innovative kaiseki cuisine primarily focused on charcoal grilling, which gained a reputation and became known as the most popular restaurant in Kyoto, where reservations are hard to come by. In 2011, he relocated to the current location in Gion.
Space"Enjoying Gourmet Moments While Overlooking a Tsuboniwa in a Traditional Kyoto House"
In a corner of the picturesque Hanami Koji, with its charming streets, stands "Sumibi Kappo Ifuki," quietly showcasing its presence. The crackling sound from the charcoal grill set up behind the counter and the subtly wafting rich aroma stimulate the appetite. The restaurant features tableware primarily from contemporary artists, including Kyoto potters, and offers a delightful seasonal touch, such as using Venetian glass plates in the summer. While enjoying exquisite dishes that bring out the flavors of the ingredients, one can also gaze at the well-maintained garden.
Food A Plate That Captures the Delicious Moments of Ingredients Grilled Over Charcoal, Fresh and Radiant
Not only do we source from carefully selected markets, but if we receive information about high-quality ingredients, we do not hesitate to procure them directly from the production area, allowing no compromise in our choice of materials. The carefully selected ingredients are then brought to life by charcoal grilling and served to our guests in the best possible condition. Dishes like the "lightly grilled tender abalone simmered slowly in kelp broth" from Wakasa, presented in a beautifully arranged and delicate manner, reflect the sincere character of the owner who earnestly engages with the art of cooking.
Indulge in a feast infused with the essence of land and sea. Experience the deliciousness brought to life by skilled charcoal grilling that highlights the finest ingredients.
In a charming Kyoto machiya that was once a tea house, you can enjoy dishes that embody the philosophy of "adding a little something to the ingredients for greater satisfaction," akin to a gentle brea...th of life. Each plate showcases expertly cooked ingredients, capturing the peak flavors of the materials. Delicate creations featuring seasonal Kyoto ingredients like guchi (a type of fish) and bamboo shoots are beautifully presented, reflecting the sincere character of the chef who truly respects the ingredients. In this picturesque corner of Hanamikoji, take a moment to savor the delightful aftertaste of your meal.
