"Home to the traditional Japanese Kaiseki set meal, Kyoto has some of the most three-Michelin starred restaurants in the world. It goes without saying, you’ll have no problem finding some of the best sashimi and tofu of your life. But Kyoto also has a handle on Sansai (Japanese mountain vegetables) including mushrooms unique to Japan such as matsutake, nameko, and maitake. If you’re in the mood to be spoiled, head to Michelin-starred Kichisen for a multi-course Kaiseki dinner, complete with fresh foraged Sansai, expertly prepared and presented. Be sure to make a reservation in advance." - Travel + Leisure Editors
