Tableware reflecting the colors of the cuisine.
The rising aroma.
The sound of pouring sake.
The warmth carried to your hands.
And the changing seasons beyond the window.
When food and space quietly come together,
every moment enriches your time in Kyoto.
What Asahido offers is more than just tasting cuisine and sake—
it is a moment in Kyoto savored with all five senses.
Surrounded by the scenery, tableware, and serene atmosphere,
may you enjoy an unforgettable time in Kyoto.
Founded in 1870 at the gates of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Asahido has long introduced handcrafted pieces from across Japan, centered on Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki ceramics.
The true charm of inherited craftsmanship is felt most deeply not merely by admiring it, but by bringing it into daily life.
Vessels for serving meals.
Bowls for enjoying tea.
Cups for savoring sake.
The moments spent engaging with these crafts alongside fine food and drink enrich not only the flavors, but the surrounding space and time itself.
Through food, sake, and scenic views, Asahido invites you to experience the unique essence of Kyoto across three distinct dining spaces, designed to delight all five senses.
