🥢 Kikunoi Honten
A legendary 3-Michelin-star kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto, serving traditional Japanese cuisine for over a century. ✨
Each course highlights rare, seasonal ingredients—some available only 10 days a year—crafted into a menu that changes with the rhythm of nature.
With 35 chefs in the kitchen, each devoted to a single task, the precision and harmony of both food and service is unforgettable. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience!

Sakai City (Osaka Prefecture):
Sakai is one of the three great knife and bladed tool producing regions in Japan. The knives individually hand-forged by craftspeople are particularly famous. The history of Sakai Uchihamono is ancient, dating back to the ironmaking technology that was introduced during the construction of tumuli in the 5th century.
I was fortunate to meet one of these craftsmen while briefly visiting Sakai and humbled to bring one of these special blades home with me!
Shout out to @rock_a_beat_taichi for getting us there before the shop closed!
Ookini‼️
