Jean-Georges at The ShinmonzenJean-Georges at The Shinmonzen

Contemporary French cuisine that welcomes influences from other culinary cultures. The chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, proclaims to the world a borderless cuisine born of his experience living in Asia. Recipes come straight from the flagship restaurant in New York. Spices and herbs accentuate the aroma; the tartness of citrus brings a light note. In the warmer months when the terrace is open, the tables beside the Shirakawa River, with their views of Kyoto scenery, fill up fast.
