We bring the philosophy of Washoku and the ingredients that support it to chefs in the United States exploring Japanese cuisine,
with conviction.

Kyoto Kitchen brings more than ingredients to the United States. Built on over 90 years of trust in Kyoto, we deliver the culture and spirit of Japanese cooking itself.

We believe that as chefs reinterpret these traditions, new possibilities for Washoku will emerge. It is through this process that we hope to sustain Japan's producers and the artisans who preserve the traditional craft of Japanese cuisine.

Our selection reflects this commitment. From rare winter bamboo shoots to Kyoto namafu, yuba, matcha buckwheat noodles, and hanamochi that captures the grace of wagashi in one elegant bite, each product has been chosen for its integrity and the inspiration it holds.
