In February 2025, the KYOTO GASTRONOMY SUMMIT and KYOTO GASTRONOMY AWARD will be held at Daigoji Temple. The KYOTO GASTRONOMY SUMMIT is a gourmet festival where you can enjoy the whole of Kyoto Prefecture in one go, through a luxurious collaboration between top chefs representing the essence of Japanese cuisine: Kyoto cuisine, and Italian and French chefs active throughout the prefecture. Participants will be asked to taste the collaborative menu and vote for it. Why not rediscover food culture together and spread the charm of the entire Kyoto Prefecture? After the award ceremony, you will be guided to a special tour of the Sanboin Temple and Garan of Daigoji Temple.

 

▶KYOTO GASTRONOMY AWARD・・・

The Kyoto Gastronomy Awards will be established in 2023 with the aim of rediscovering and supporting the appeal of Kyoto Prefecture's food-related culture and tourism resources.
