Kiyama's kaiseki cuisine makes the most of the pure water that springs from the well. With the desire to "highlight the deliciousness of water from start to finish," the meal begins with hot water boiled from well water, followed by a deep-flavored soup that enhances the umami of bonito and tuna flakes, allowing the smoothness of the water to shine through. This is accompanied by tea porridge, small clear soup, grilled dishes, and culminates in the final thin tea. The dishes crafted by Chef Kiyama, flowing slowly and gracefully, will bring joy to those enjoying Japanese cuisine.
