Kaiseki Meal in Osaka
Kaiseki (Japanese style lunch) has been added to the Intangible Cultural Heritage list of UNESCO. It is the perfect epitome of Japanese culture where seasons, perfectionism, purity, minimalism, and respect for the guest are beautifully represented at a meal. The meals are prepared by famous local chefs of Taikoen Osaka. The menu slightly changes based on the season but freshness, Japanese style presentation and attention to detail are always kept. By experiencing the unique kaiseki meal you will not only enjoy probably the best meal of your life but also come to a deep realization of the calming effects of a traditional kaiseki meal room. The pictures below give you an idea of what is awaiting you for an affordable price.
