Kaiseki: The Art of Japanese Seasonal Dining
Kaiseki is a revered Japanese dining tradition that originated in Kyoto. It is renowned for its meticulous attention to detail, harmonious flavor combinations, and use of ingredients harvested at the peak of the season, sourced from local artisans. Typically, Kaiseki menus consist of multiple courses that are thoughtfully designed to create a balance of flavors and textures, taking diners on a culinary journey.
Eigikutei’s Plant-Based Journey
Eigikutei’s Vegan Kaiseki tasting menu reflects the restaurant’s commitment to catering to diverse palates and dietary preferences.
