전통 일식 요리를 즐기고 싶다면, 가이세키 요리를 놓치지 마세요! 이 기사에서는 계절 재료를 아름답게 배열한 이런 호화로운 일식 코스 요리에 대해 모두 설명할 것입니다. 교토에서 가장 좋은 가이세키 레스토랑 중 일부도 끝 부분에 나열되어 있습니다.
1. What is Kaiseki Cuisine?
“Kaiseki” originally referred to the meal served during a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. The history of kaiseki dates back over 400 years, and it has become the foundation for Japanese cuisine as we know it today. Kaiseki typically consists of “ichiju sansai”, consisting of soup, a sashimi or simmered dish, and a grilled item. During an actual tea ceremony, these dishes are accompanied by rice or pickles, as well as an additional side dish or a dessert.
Today, this formal meal eaten during a tea ceremony is often referred to as “cha kaiseki” (literally, "tea kaiseki"). Therefore, “kaiseki cuisine” or “kaiseki” now usually refers to highly prestigious, authentic Japanese course cuisine.

2. The Difference Between the 2 Kaiseki Cuisines (懐石 and 会席)
Although the pronunciations of 懐石 and 会席 are both "kaiseki", the Japanese characters differ. When written as 会席, it is a simplified Japanese course meal based on the old "honzen" style, wherein an extremely high-quality Japanese meal is served all at once. 懐石 isn't that much different, as it also has the fundamental 3 dishes and similar formalities and content. One difference to note, however, is that rice and soup are served first in "cha kaiseki" (茶懐石), whereas it is served last in 会席, just before dessert. 懐石, the slightly less formal version of cha kaiseki, also serves rice and soup last, just before dessert – similar to 会席.
The highly formal cha kaiseki gives due importance to the etiquette of traditional Japanese tea ceremonies, whereas 会席 considers hospitality to be more important and is thus much more casual, with alcohol and conversations flowing with the cuisine. An easy way to remember everything is to keep in mind that 懐石 is the middle ground between the formal 茶懐石 and more casual 会席 in terms of formality and etiquette needed.

3. Etiquette When Eating Kaiseki Cuisine
Etiquette in formal cha kaiseki dictates how both the servers and diners act. This almost artistic form of expression takes a long time for beginners to learn. On the other hand, the more casual forms of kaiseki (懐石 and 会席) only require you to learn the manners and ways to use the utensils associated with regular Japanese cuisine, such as how to use chopsticks or the proper way to hold your bowl, so anyone can easily enjoy them.
The dishes, such as soup, simmered dishes, and grilled items, are all served in the order they are to be eaten. If the next dish is served before you manage to finish the previous dish, then it is good manners to take one bite of the newly served dish, before finishing the previous dish.
