Kaiseki: The Ultimate Expression of Japanese Cuisine

Watch the full documentary at www.ciaprochef.com/WCA/Japan/
The highly refined style of dining known as Kaiseki has evolved from the elaborate Zen Buddhist tea ceremony of the 16th century, and is viewed as the ultimate expression of Japanese cuisine. Four masters of the kaiseki tradition display their art in this program.

I was born in Japan and grew up in the US and Europe. Have been back twice. My mother was always an awesome cook and now, so am I! Always inspired by my culture and European experience, I tend to do a lot of fusion-style cooking. This video was quite informative since my mother's family doesn't live that far from there. I remember my mother foraging in the woods when I was a kid. This is very common in Japan. I do it now.

[@FHN1987]

15 generations HOOOLYYY COW

[@ZakiRoamsAround]

***** Ah, but I wonder if there are many families in the Western world who stick to the same family business for that many generations. This all sounds so impressive. People in my country would be impressed just by something that has lasted for 4 generations.

[@manaforcefield5376]

Soo Sick. Mind Blown.

[@BundtLust]

Beautifully filmed, but the American pronunciation of the Japanese was difficult to follow.

[@jibran241092]

[@seikibrian8641]

No, the narrator is Chef Bill Briwa, from the Culinary Institute of America.
