The unparalleled taste of Kyoto's foods is rooted in its unique geographical conditions. Surrounded by mountains, the Kyoto Basin benefits from a climate that offers moderate rainfall and abundant sunlight. Additionally, the clear waters from the Kamo and Katsura Rivers provide ample water resources, ideal for food production. These natural conditions impart a distinct flavor and high quality to Kyoto's foods.
