The “Boat” at Bukkouji Temple, Kyoto, celebrates its 1st anniversary !
The owner, Mr. Funaki, is from the 3-star Michelin restaurant “Koju” in Ginza, Tokyo.
Each dish served is a gem that conveys the owner’s feelings!
The proprietress is a former geisha maiko from Gion, and is a lovely person!
The aroma of the “matsutake” mushrooms and the “hamo” (a type of duckling), which is still in its prime, are in perfect harmony with each other!
Mr. Takao Funaki, the owner of the restaurant, showed us his favorite kitchen knives.
From left to right, “Sakai Shukoh”, middle “Kohodo”, and right “Shodai Shokichi” (for cutting pike conger pike conger pike).
The “Kohodo” in the middle is the highest peak of water-quenched and hand-quenched kitchen knives, and is generally said to be difficult to find.
It is said that it is difficult to obtain.
We hope you will come to Kyoto to taste the up-and-coming cuisine of General Funaki when you visit us.

- I visited Miwa-taisha Shrine in autumn, the first shrine in the Land of Yamato~!
- We had a lunch of purified Japanese food!
I found a good Italian restaurant in Kyoto! Chef Koichi Watanabe’s Italian cuisine is very cost-effective, brings out the best of the ingredients, and the pasta is delicious and exquisite!
What is it about “the most exquisite ocean palace” that attracts people from all over the world?
Enjoying a popular Japanese sport to the fullest.
I wonder if this is the last of the “Shirouo Tempura” that I eagerly await in the spring.
Year-end and New Year’s greetings…
