Wanted to share a picture during our Kaiseki dinner. This was our appetiser, and the only picture I took. The food was so good I had to drop my camera and feast.
We had the kaiseki cuisine served in our ryokan room. It was a lavish banquet cuisine where numerous small dishes are ceremoniously brought to us by the waitresses in beautiful kimonos. It lasted for approximately two hours.
Food standard in Kyoto was generally higher than Tokyo. Even a simple udon shop run by a one-man show served fabulous food standard.
On the right, we started with Umeshu 梅酒 which came as part of the appetiser. And to add to all the fresh seasonal ingredients selected, we had an elegant bottle of sake each.
It was a pleasure to be away from a main city and feel absolutely free from problems... Even back at Tokyo now, I feel re-energised, focused & more acceptance to face challenges.
Happy New Year to all of you!
