During the Meiji period, the Katsuranomiya family (descendants of the Hachijonomiya family) died out because there was no successor, therefore the Ikama family also retired and their cooking techniques were handed down in limited restaurants in Kyoto.
明治時代になり桂宮家（八条宮家の後裔）が子孫断絶により絶家したため、生間家も下野し、その料理法は京都の民間の限られた料亭に伝えられた。
