Kyoto | FUFU KYOTO Hotel Private Hot Spring + Kaiseki Cuisine (2)🪴

🔹 SEN TO HIASOBI Sashimi & Grilled Seafood 🌊Tuna and mackerel sashimi with carrot leaves, sudachi, soy sauce, and wasabi. Grilled clams and grilled eel (to be cooked on a small stove at the table). 🍣 🔹 SAIJI Seasonal Platter 🪴In the bowl: Steamed tofu with soft roe, fish broth, Japanese sauce, and condiments. On the leaves: Horse mackerel rolls with daikon, salmon roe, edamame, roe with kelp, and gluten mochi. 🌊 Small plate: Inari sushi (fried tofu skin sushi), poached duck breast with fried rice topped with mayonnaise. 🍱 🔹 YAKIMONO Grilled Dishes 🪴Japanese black leaf, grilled flower buds, white onions, and parsley with salt, wasabi, and hot sauce. 🍖 🔹 SHIIZAKANA Hot Pot Amberjack hot pot with daikon and seaweed, garnished with cilantro, shiitake mushrooms, onions, and yuzu, served with yuzu pepper. 🍲 🔹 SHOKUJI Main Course 🪴Steamed rice, miso soup, and pickles. Fried white fish, herbs, burdock, and carrots, with a side of steamed rice with plum sauce. 🍙 🔹 MIZUGASHI Dessert Ponkan orange (filled with Grand Marnier orange jelly and blueberries), glutinous rice cake (filled with strawberries and sweet white soy sauce), orange sauce, and maca powder. 🍒 🪴Overall, the first few dishes were quite standard. However, when I tasted the gamey duck breast (in the seasonal platter) and the pork (in the hot pot), I felt a bit disappointed. I thought the kaiseki experience was somewhat overrated. 🌊 The next morning, I requested breakfast to be delivered to the room. It looked like a wide variety of dishes, but the taste was just average. Price reference: One night's accommodation + kaiseki dinner for two + breakfast for two costs 144,100 yen. 🌊 The food was honestly just okay, but the room service's tempura chicken was pretty good. 😌 📍41-41 Nanzenji Kusakawacho, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, 606-8437, Japan #JapaneseZenHotel 🌿#JapaneseHotSpring 🌊
