Kyoto Foodie is a wonderful blog about the multi-layered culinary culture of Kyoto. The current post is about the Kyoto Kaiseki meal served in honor of the Aoi Matsuri (Hollyhock Festival) at Kichisen, one of Kyoto’s finest ryo-tei. The article showcases stunning photographs that really show the level of art kyo-kaiseki can attain.
We’re going to Kyoto in a few weeks and will have to see if a meal here would break the budget or not….
Luckily, a visit to this site is like a visit to Kyoto, and you can enjoy the meal with your eyes. Hope you enjoy it!
When are you going to Japan? Love your website/blog.
Thanks Nichole!
We leave May 14. It hardly seems real. Each time we plan a trip to Japan, we think about going to Tokyo, where we have more friends and relatives, but find it impossible to leave Kyoto. It’s become like a second home to us. Upon arrival, we immediately feel relaxed, as well as inspired. You really can’t ask for more.
