Chef Kenji Kiyomoto, who has mastered the traditions of Kyoto cuisine,
elevates the blessings of Omi to the pinnacle of refinement
Starting from a river fish shop with over a century of history
From Katata to Okon
And to a new expression called 'Omi Kaiseki'
The techniques inheriting the orthodoxy of the knife way Seiwa Shijo-ryu and
The delicate sensibility honed in Kyoto
Imbue Shiga ingredients with a quiet light
Biwa trout, the silver-shining jewel of Lake Biwa
Biwa lake eel lurking at the bottom, hiding powerful umami
The ultimate blessings of Omi brought by the hands of fishermen who know Lake Biwa thoroughly
The flavors and delicacies born from the craftsmanship that draws out the maximum power of ingredients
It transcends the framework of local cuisine
The quiet innovation that Japanese cuisine reaches

Omi Kaiseki
淡海懐石
“Where the spirit of Omi and inherited craftsmanship resonate,
transforming quietly into a refined culinary expression.”
Centered around Lake Biwa and shaped by Shiga’s four seasons,
Omi Kaiseki Kiyomoto honors nature’s bounty through masterful Kyoto techniques.
Not extravagant, but pure and deeply satisfying.
A culinary form that Shiga proudly presents to the world.
Our interior embraces natural materials with white wood as its foundation,
blending traditional aesthetics with modern comfort.
We value a calm and spacious atmosphere.
Rooted in classical techniques, we continuously explore new culinary expressions
by sourcing exceptional ingredients from Japan and beyond.
For a Japanese chef, the pursuit of excellence never ends.
