Mizai in Kyoto offers an overwhelming dining experience that transcends mere cuisine. Every aspect—from the ingredients and tableware to the temperature, aroma, and presentation—exudes tension and aesthetic awareness. Each dish is crafted to perfection, and the entire course is constructed as a single work of art, allowing one to truly appreciate the depth of Japanese cuisine.The food is simply delicious! Ishihara-san initially comes across as dignified, but he becomes increasingly friendly as the meal progresses. If you're visiting Kyoto, this is a must-visit restaurant! Personally, I loved the final assorted fruit platter!
