Founded in 1764 by Saburoemon, a merchant originally from Sanuki, this Fushimi ryotei has survived the turbulence of the Boshin War — bullet marks from the 1868 Battle of Toba-Fushimi are still visible on the wooden lattice of its facade. Now run by the 9th generation and awarded a Michelin star, it serves refined Kyoto kaiseki in spacious sukiya-style tatami rooms overlooking a garden, built around Fushimi's soft, mineral-rich spring water ("Fushimizu"), fresh Setouchi seafood and Kyoto vegetables. The kitchen favors quiet harmony over showy plating, pairing seasonal, monthly-changing courses with local sake brewed using the same spring water. Private rooms of varying sizes and a calm, unhurried atmosphere make it a favored choice for business entertaining, celebrations and memorial gatherings.
