EXPO 2015 MILANO

The history of 300 years

The Minokichi was founded in 1716 as one of the eight licensed restaurants to save fresh water fishes authorized by Shogunate’s Kyoto Administration and it has always been making a history of Kyoto cuisine.
The Minokichi was originally located near the Sanjo Bridge, the terminal of the old Tokaido highway. It’s excellent food and service ensured a great success for the Minokichi to flourish over the centuries as the most renowned restaurant in Kyoto under the patronage of nobility and dignitaries.
The Minokichi was moved to the present location in 1950 and reborn in 1992 as Takeshigero, which literally means “bamboo-thick restaurant”.
(bamboo is one of the three good luck trees symbolizing prosperity and perseverance, as it grows into full size only in a couple of months, strong enough to sustain heavy snowfall.)
