Tabelog 100 #75 and Kikunoi
Tabelog 100 placed Muge Sanbo Salon de Muge at #75 with 3.6pts in 2023. The Kikunoi restaurant focuses on traditional Japanese kaiseki and bentō.
Shigure Bento and sake
Shigure Bento and seasonal kaiseki lunch define the order here, with lunch and dinner both in scope. Sake supports the format, and local sourcing keeps the kaiseki framework tied to place.
Garden views in a historic standalone building
Garden setting and garden views shape a quiet, leisurely meal in a historic standalone building. Formal service and smart casual dress make this better suited to planned dining than an unstructured drop-in.
