Honke Tankuma Honten

We do not make anything –
We simply serve up the seasons of Japan's ancient capital.

The refined sweetness of spring bamboo shoots,
The sharp, refreshing taste of young summer sweetfish,
The wafting scent of autumn matsutake mushrooms,
The powerful richness of winter various kind of Kyoto vegetables,

Deep, intricate flavors found only in the finest ingredients, and brought out to the full.

"Monmo" cuisine means preparing food “au naturel.” Rather than adding flavor,
savor the essence of foods.

Tableware of plain and simple elegance.

The moment you encounter the essence is when the flavors come
alive, without the need for embellishment - .a moment to be prized.
