Harumi

At Shunkai, you can enjoy traditional Japanese set meals that are hard to come by in the local area. The restaurant is located along the approach to Yasaka Shrine, with the national treasure Sufukuji Temple, built in 1907, as its backdrop. The meal starts with beautifully presented seasonal small dishes, followed by tender and flavorful fish fins and a variety of luxurious ingredients. The menu also includes new and innovative dishes with ethnic elements, such as the perfectly balanced "pork stewed in soy sauce" and "cream cheese and dried fruit salad." The attentive service provided by the proprietress adds to the unique charm of this hidden gem of a restaurant that offers a different take on traditional Japanese kaiseki cuisine.
