We’ve always dreamt of trying Kaiseki ryori (aka Japanese fine dining)… So while we were doing our preparation for our trip to Kyoto, we were super excited to find out that Hotel Granvia Kyoto serves halal Kaiseki as well as bento sets at Ukihashi, the hotel’s Japanese restaurant!
As Hotel Granvia Kyoto is a Muslim-friendly hotel, we wanted make a reservation there but our trip was a last minute one. So word of advice - book your accomodation early! The hotel is right above Kyoto Station, which is super convenient especially if you're taking a train ride from Osaka or a Shinkansen from other cities.
Also, we found out that Hotel Granvia Kyoto is the first in the whole of western Japan and the second in Japan to have halal-certified meals! Ukihashi gained the official halal certificate from Malaysia Halal Corporation Co., Ltd. as of April 1, 2014, following in the footsteps of its Café Restaurant “Le Temps”, which was awarded the certificate in 2013.
So if you're planning a trip to Kyoto, do make your reservation early!
