Kaiseki Course
Course Content
Kaiseki cuisine originated as a way for the host of a tea ceremony to entertain guests, and later developed into a multi-course meal that can be enjoyed with the senses of sight and smell as well as taste.
This course teaches students, who already have a basic Japanese cuisine experience, the concept of Kaiseki cuisine and its technique for one week (5-day).
The world of kaiseki is a very deep world involving the concept of wabi-sabi (sorrowful loneliness) and the yin- yang five elements, but we aim to master it in two weeks. Students will learn the basic structure of Kaiseki, and learn the basic menu.
