Rokusei — Restaurant in Kyoto

What a fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, we felt the attention paid to offer excellent service and food. The meal starts with a cup of savory Sakura tea, a perfect match with the bloom that can be seen outside the window from the second floor seating. The food presentation, pleasing to the eye, is pretty and very Instagrammable. The taste is delicate. We get to taste different dishes all in one set.

The spacious tatami room, decorated with a gilded coromandel, is the cherry on top of the whole experience.

打卡京都百年老店——六盛餐厅！🍱✨

创立于1899年（明治22年），已有120多年历史，这里的招牌菜“手桶便当”可谓艺术品一般的存在。由第二代店主设计，将当季新鲜食材精心烹制，盛放在人间国宝中川清司手工打造的木桶中，吃的是四季的变化，是那份用心！起初以为便当能变出什么花，吃完才知道什么花里胡哨高大上食材都比不上当季食材！甜品舒芙蕾スフレ虽然是法国发明，比起来欧美过于甜腻这种更适合我，蛋香扑鼻，唇齿留香！

来京都，绝对不能错过这份地道的京料理体验！🌸

Checking in at Kyoto’s century-old restaurant – Rokusei! 🍱✨

Founded in 1899 (Meiji Year 22), this restaurant boasts over 120 years of history. Its signature dish, the “Teoke Bento,” is nothing short of a work of art. Designed by the second-generation owner, it features seasonal fresh ingredients meticulously prepared and served in handcrafted wooden buckets made by Living National Treasure Nakagawa Kiyoshi. It’s a feast of seasonal flavors and heartfelt craftsmanship! At first, I wondered what could be special about a bento, but after tasting it, I realized no extravagant or exotic ingredients could compare to the simple beauty of fresh seasonal produce.

As for dessert, the soufflé スフレ, though originally a French invention, is a perfect balance—not overly sweet like its Western counterparts. The rich aroma of eggs lingers on the palate, leaving a lasting impression.

If you’re visiting Kyoto, don’t miss out on this authentic Kyoto cuisine...

Mixed Experience

Pros: The attractive bento box lunch impressed both visually and in taste. Beautiful garden at the front entrance.

Cons: The service was inconsistent—some staff were friendly, while others felt stiff and unwelcoming.
