About Michelin-starred kaiseki in Kyoto
In the guide's own words, one star means high-quality cooking, two stars excellent cooking and three stars exceptional cuisine; the stars are for the food alone. By dinner price, 7 at ¥15,000–19,999, 33 at ¥20,000–29,999, 20 at ¥30,000–39,999, and 8 at ¥40,000 or more.
56 of the 68 can be booked online; the others take reservations by phone, usually in Japanese, which is where a hotel concierge helps. 65 accept credit cards. 10 do not admit young children, while 17 say children are welcome. 44 also serve lunch, often the easier and cheaper way in.
