Maison de Liu wangguang

Tucked away in Kyoto’s Shimogyo-ku, Maison de Liu wangguang awaits. It’s not a typical chalet. This unassuming building holds a delicious secret. Maison de Liu wangguang began its life 70 years ago as a beloved chicken hot-pot restaurant, Uzuratei. The spirit of Uzuratei lives on. Now, under the watchful eye of its third-generation owner, it has transformed into a wine lover’s paradise. The restaurant boasts a rich history, transitioning from a traditional chicken hot-pot establishment to a sophisticated wine-focused dining experience. The transformation blends old and new. While embracing its wine-centric present, Maison de Liu wangguang retains its Japanese roots. The original charming Japanese-style interior remains, a testament to its 70-year history. Imagine savoring a meal where the past and present intertwine. The menu offers both à la carte dishes and curated courses, like the Kyoji chicken hot pot, a nod to its past. The star is the wine. Over 800 varieties are available, carefully chosen by the owner, a seasoned sommelier. For a truly special experience, request riverside dining. Two tables offer stunning views, adding an extra touch of magic to your meal. Maison de Liu wangguang seamlessly blends its culinary heritage with a contemporary passion for wine. It is a testament to its enduring charm and the vision of its owner.
