Kodaiji Jugyuan is housed in a sukiya-style building from the Meiji period, refurbished by skilled modern artisans into a ryotei. The meticulously designed interior and manicured garden exude elegance. The restaurant offers a harmonisation of classic Japanese fare with a modern sensibility, as seen in the longtooth grouper grilled in salt and garnished with cauliflower surinagashi. Traditional flavours and aesthetics handed down and polished over the ages are this restaurant’s stock-in-trade.
