懐石 | Kaiseki: The Art of the Japanese Meal
A meditation on season and place, served over ten courses. Midori no Mori invites you to experience the pinnacle of washoku tradition in Toshima, Tokyo.
Journey through a culinary narrative of Japan, where every course tells a story of the season.
The Ten-Course Journey
A meticulously composed symphony of flavors and techniques.
1. Sakizuke
An appetizer served with sake, similar to an amuse-bouche, setting the tone for the seasonal journey ahead.
2. Suimono
A clear soup with premium dashi. A palate cleanser that highlights the purity of Japanese water and kombu.
3. Hassun
The visual highlight. A platter expressing the current micro-season through various small bites.
4. Mukozuke
Seasonal sashimi, including omega-3 rich selections chosen daily from the market.
5. Takiawase
Vegetables served with meat, fish, or tofu, simmered separately to preserve individual flavors.
Vegetarian & Gluten-Free Adaptations
At Midori no Mori, we believe high-art dining should be inclusive. Inspired by shojin-ryori (temple cuisine), our vegetarian Kaiseki features plant-based elegance using yuba, local root vegetables, and mountain herbs.
For our gluten-free guests, we utilize traditionally brewed tamari and craft our dashi without wheat-derived additives, ensuring a safe, authentic washoku experience in Toshima.
