Kaiseki dinners in Japan are more formal set menus. On Saturday night my hosts from Gakushuin university took me out for a particularly delicious, light and healthy kaiseki dinner.<\/p>\n

The dinner started with appetizers. On the plate are some fried shrimp, a snail (which was particularly difficult to remove from the shell) and a pickled plum.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Next came the sashimi course. You just can’t go wrong with raw fish in my opinion!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Interestingly they served mushroom and broth in these individual tea pots. You poured it out and drank it like tea then you ate the mushrooms from inside. It was delicious!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The main meal was a piece of cooked fish. Elegant and simple in a truly Japanese style. It was delightful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We also had a vegetable tempura course.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And finally to end the meal, some soup, rice and a few pickled vegetables. Along with some beer and sake, it was a nice meal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After dinner with my hosts, Profs. Nakamura and Akiyama.<\/p>\n
