Kikuya
Powered by Google
Kikuya is a twelve-generation family restaurant on the approach to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, housed in a traditional Japanese wooden building typical of the temple's old approach-street townscape. Its name comes from the chrysanthemum crest granted by the temple in the mid-Edo period, with the shop recorded under the name Kikuya in Tenpo-era (1830s) documents. The kitchen specializes in charcoal-grilled unagi (eel) glazed with a traditional slow-simmered sauce, sourced with certificates of origin displayed daily in the shop, alongside kaiseki-style set meals, sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, and seasonal freshwater fish dishes such as carp sashimi and carp miso soup.
