Kaiseki is a traditional Japanese multi-course meal – the meal is not only about the food but the presentation and, as it is designed to be a dining experience the food is brought out quickly slowly and in the order decided by the chef , by the seasonal ingredients and often the location of the restaurant.
Kaiseki is a slow, fine dining experience, this is not an easy feat with small children.
