Sushi Rakuji
An Eight-Seat Sushi Spot Where the Charm of Gion Meets Edomae Elegance
Nestled quietly along the Shirakawa River in Kyoto, 'Sushi Rakumi' is a hidden gem with just eight counter seats, operated by 'Gion Sasaki.' It beautifully blends the softness of Kyoto with the techniques of Edomae sushi, utilizing two types of rice—red vinegar and white vinegar—to reflect the essence of the ingredients in each piece. While honoring tradition, it maintains a unique creativity, offering a one-of-a-kind sushi experience that you can fully enjoy.

素材本位の妙技と、赤白二種のシャリが導く最良の一口
The sushi is characterized by its rich flavors that enhance the ingredients. The signature steamed abalone can be enjoyed like a risotto with liver sauce and red vinegar rice. We use the finest ingredients sourced from Kyoto and Toyosu Market to provide the best flavors of the day. We offer a unique sushi experience using distinctive techniques.

尾州桧のカウンターで味わう、臨場感とぬくもり
A homely atmosphere where guests can bond at the counter made of Bishu cypress.

We provide a warmth that can only be experienced in this space.
