Vegetarian Kaiseki in Kyoto
Kyoto is Japan's home of vegetarian kaiseki, shaped by centuries of Buddhist and imperial culinary tradition.
At the restaurants below, yuba (the silky skin skimmed from heated soy milk, a Kyoto delicacy) and handmade tofu are the centrepiece of a full multi-course kaiseki dinner.
These menus are fully designed around plant-based ingredients, with each course as visually refined and seasonally considered as any classic kaiseki meal, making them a natural choice for vegetarian and vegan guests. Non-vegetarian guests will find them equally satisfying.
Restaurants are located near Nijo Castle UNESCO World Heritage Site and throughout central Kyoto.
