What is KAISEKI, and why try it?

 

The discerning few who have had a chance to be intimate with the crown of Japanese cuisine, KAISEKI food, gush effervescently of their senses being satiated by an exquisite meal. A meal that not just explores tastes but textures and appearance is nigh a medium of visual art, unparalleled in the culinary world. The notion of cultural harmony, so quintessentially Japanese, is exhibited with an almost fanatical need for perfection and an innate understanding of seasonal ingredients to create an explosion of flavors and textures in the partakers tongue and mind.

Our chef Ryozo Shigematsu will be taking you through an introductory journey to Washoku, creating a gastronomical spectacle for multiple senses and letting the audience in on a secret that has been designated as a UNESCO world cultural heritage yet unknown to the rest of the world.
