This beautiful 16-day winter tour takes a deep dive into Japanese cuisine, both in a traditional and contemporary sense, with a focus on Kyoto, Kanazawa and the remote Noto peninsula and the culture and landscape that wraps itself around the regions.
Zenbu Kyo-Za is an enjoyable sensory journey, gently gleaning fascinating insight along the way – the ingredients, the utensils, the tea, the ceramics, the layers – think everything from simple, nourishing homestyle cookery to Shojin ryori ( Zen Buddhist vegan cuisine)and Kaiseki (formal cuisine) and pristine sushi to fermentation, yakitori, noodles, traditional sweets. We celebrate the old guard and passionate young chef-creatives too, through casual and fine dining experiences. We’ll sample local Nihonshu (sake) Whisky, Gin, and even wonderful Japanese wines (which might just surprise you!) as well as stop in cosy cafes, gourmet emporiums, artisan soy breweries or seaweed specialists, incredible Japanafied patisserie and chocolate boutiques, plus excellent regional food, and ingredient stores on route.
