The Beauty of Japanese Kaiseki Dining at Osaka’s Umehana Restaurant

Some wonderful dishes made with tofu in Japanese dining. at Umehana in Osaka.

Food is art. The Japanese know this and have developed it into a high ritual of mindful worship via the senses. Our neighbors took us to for Christmas Eve dinner at Umehana Restaurant in Osaka to experience Japanese Kaiseki, the ultimate dining experience.

The Japanese don’t celebrate Christmas like the West does. It and Christmas day is just another day in Japan. But Christmas Eve is special and reserved for dinner, as well as jumping in bed with the one you love, my neighbor informed me. Feast your eyes on these photos of Kaiseki dishes and awaken your body’s senses to do just that. Kampai!

Freaking gorgeous. Just looking at it for a minute blows your mind away.

Exquisite attention to detail makes you want to orgasm.

Lotus root is one of my favorite vegetables.

Marveling at the beauty of the dishes is half the experience.

Food this beautiful you want to be mindful of every move of the spoon and drop on your tastebuds it is so amazingly delicious and beautiful.

Godofu is a chewy type of tofu. I love it!

I have become obsessed with yuba, tofu skin. Delicious!
