As we approached the building, a kimono clad lady was waiting for us. She was expecting us as we had reservations for lunch.
While we were settling in, we took in our surroundings and sipped our refreshing hot tea.
The garden was beautiful in the rain. The main building is facing us in the photo. But we had a little room to ourselves…
Our little room was sparsely decorated with tatami mats on the floor. There was a low table and 2 chairs., and a simple but really lovely floral arrangement in a wall mounted ceramic vase.
Yum, a beautiful dish to start with.
Then the rest of the dishes were served, one after another. I have forgotten what some of them were…
We enjoyed each and every dish. Although they were small, there were many. We were beginning to feel quite full at this stage. Then our sweet host told us that the next dish was the last. Ok, no problem. We can fit in another small dish.
It was a memorable last dish – rice in a lovely broth topped with bonito flakes. I can’t describe the wonderful taste, but I can remember it.
But wait, there’s more…. finishing with the wonderful sorbet on the right. Really refreshing.
And more… Japanese dessert with green tea.
More hot tea before the sweet host and her husband (the chef) bowed and waved us goodbye as we left in a taxi.

Oh, the Japanese do everything so delicately and beautifully. Lovely shots!
The food is presented so beautifully, it would tempt anyone. Your photographs are wonderful.
Mmm! The last dish is probably Ocha-zuke, which I absolutely love! Gorgeous photos of the lovely course, Evelyn!
aloha,
what a wonderful meal and visit, i can almost taste all these amazing dishes and i loved the presentation of each dish, it all looks amazing.
i'm curious to know how much a meal like this costs in dollars/euros?
thanks for sharing your meal with the world :)
What nice surroundings too! looks like you don't go hungry there! Yum!
Each of those dishes was a work of art. If they tasted half as good as they look that was a treat.
Beautiful presentation of the various foodstuffs.
These dishes look incredible! And I'm so glad you had the opportunity to be experiencing such a beautiful place. You always make me hungry, in the greatest way. :)
oh wow and yum! I love all the dishes, much like my own, but mine are made by American friends.
