Owner-chef Yuki Shimizu opened his restaurant near Daitokuji so that he could use the temple’s clear, pure water. He draws it himself to prepare the dashi and cook vegetables. Daitokuji fu dressed with sesame sauce, a favourite of tea master Sen-no-Rikyu, offers apt tribute to the temple’s shojin ryori. Could his name, Shimizu, which means ‘pure water’, be a sign of his destiny? Certainly, the painstaking effort he pours into his craft deepens the flavour of every dish.
