Chisen sansuishiki teien Seiryutei garden
The garden in our restaurant is made by Jihei Ogawa who made the gardens in Heian Jingu Shrine, Murinan, and Maruyama park. The garden has beautiful view from nature and a lot of water comes from Lake Biwa Canal and flowers express four seasons. You can feel peaceful atmosphere when you look at the garden. Most of the gardens made by Ueji is private gardens around Nanzenji temple such as Tairyu sanso, Nomurahekiunso, Hosokawabettei, or Seiryutei teien.

Our specialty -Yudofu (Tofu in hot pot)-
We are keen on tofu from Kyoto and tofu sauce. Water from underground is vital to make tasty tofu. Tofu is made only for one day using water from small well as it was long time ago. Handmade is the essence of tasty tofu. Water is also vital to make tofu sauce. We make tofu sauce and kelp from Rishiri broth only for our restaurant everyday.

Kyoto cuisine -the four seasons-
Since the sense of the four seasons is very important for Kyoto cuisine. We use seasonal ingredients, potteries, chinaware, and lacquer ware to express the sense of four seasons. The menu is prepared based on Japanese traditional events such as the Boys' Festival and so on.
