Washoku: The Traditional Japanese Multi-Course Dinner “KAISEKI”
Onsen Ryokans are a popular destination for relaxation in Japan that provide a variety of hot springs; from natural, to commercialized. Not only do they provide amenities for relaxation, a list of appetizing courses are also served in these establishments known as “kaiseki”.
Kaiseki (会席料理) is a traditional Japanese multi-course dinner. The kanji 会席料理 meaning “cuisine for a get-together" is a banquet meal where the main beverage is sake (Japanese rice wine). Skills and techniques are performed by chefs in a high degree of brilliance for the preparation of such meals including their taste, texture, color, and overall presentation.
If you are familiar with western haute cuisine, both of them share a common trait. Here’s a collection of kaiseki photos from a variety of Onsen Ryokan I’ve stayed last year:
Some of the many courses included in the kaiseki from two different onsens in Ikaho, Shibukawa City
And below are one of the courses served in Tsukioka Onsen

And not only that, they also serve them with a smile and a very polite attitude. This has been famously known as “omotenashi” which means hospitality.
Upvoting @firipinjin as I love Japanese food. May I know the location also
Sure! Sorry, I forgot to indicate the specific location. The first few photos that belong to Shibukawa Onsen are located in Gunma and the ones below which are from Tsukioka Onsen are located in Niigata. Thanks for upvoting! Will be posting more Japanese food in the future so please look forward to it!
