Kishin in Kyoto is all about breakfast. In fact, breakfast is the only meal served from when the doors open in the morning until well past noon.

It's an artful Japanese breakfast with a fair amount of "show and tell" about the origin of the food and the tableware it's served in.

The menu at Kishin is devised by Kyoto-born chef Atsushi Nakahigashi, who hails from Kyoto culinary royalty: his father runs Sojiki Nakahigashi, a two-star Michelin restaurant close to Ginkakuji temple, further north in the city.
