About this spot
Shin Togetsu serves as a modern counter experience in Arashiyama where you can watch chefs prepare fresh, seasonal kaiseki courses that change daily. The intimate setting captures the quiet spirit of Kyoto's western district without feeling like a tourist trap.
💡 Tips before you go
- Reserve your seat at the counter early to ensure you get a view of the chef's precise knife work.
- Expect a multi-course meal where each dish is designed to be eaten in one sitting to appreciate its temperature and texture.
- Ask the staff for their daily ingredient selection before ordering, as the menu relies on whatever the market offers that morning.
