"Dining here feels like stepping into the spirit realm. Nestled in Kyoto’s mist-shrouded mountains, Miyamaso is a ryokan where the chef forages the surrounding forests each day — returning with wild herbs, river fish, and seasonal treasures that whisper of the land. Each dish is a quiet ode to nature, plated with reverence and restraint. You don’t eat so much as commune. The thatched-roof setting, the wooden beams, the breeze through the trees — it’s less a meal than a meditation. And in a world that moves too fast, Miyamaso reminds you to slow down, breathe deep, and listen." - Rooksana Hossenally
