Droit, Kyoto

This is the kind of cooking I always enjoy. Very high quality, seasonal ingredients. Excellent technique and sharp skill, but not in your face about it, just enough to bring out the taste.

A meal where every dish in the course carried its own weight, no fillers here. A few examples:

Beef tongue, foie gras, truffle “Mille-feuille”, with Pain d’épices.

Roasted citrus and cauliflower soup.

Some excellent veal, a relative rarity in Japan. 

Soft cheese coated in green tea, rather than herbs.

Always a pleasure being back… Less
