Le Chene Philosophy
To create a dish means to take into account the thoughts and feelings of the eater, and to create each dish with all one's heart and soul. Only by integrating the aroma of the season, the sense of touch, the taste and physical condition of the customer, and feelings of gratitude, we can produce satisfaction.
Chourakukan has spun the history of hospitality.
We will continue to express French cuisine unique to Kyoto with the sensibility nurtured in this traditional place.
