The next day, Mo Qi and his party packed up and followed Inoue Rinko and the team of cameramen to Kyoto, there was still a period of time before the competition, but the show could not be stopped, even if it was out on location, to Kyoto, where the history is the strongest, to record new material.

Kyoto remained the capital of Japan until Emperor Kanmu moved the capital to Heiankyo in 794 and until Tokyo was laid in 1868. Kyoto City is rich in historical sites and is one of the most important centers of traditional Japanese culture.

There are many cultural properties, and the "Ancient Kyoto Cultural Heritage" was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1994. These include 17 historic sites in Kyoto. Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Nijo-jo Castle, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Ginkaku-ji Temple, Tenryu-ji Temple, Ryoan-ji Temple, Enryaku-ji Temple, Kozan-ji Temple, Ninna-ji Temple, Saiyoyo-ji Temple, Higashi-ji Temple, Daigo-ji Temple, Nishi Hongan-ji Temple, Kamigamo Shrine, Shimogamo Shrine, Uji-jo Shrine, Byodoin Phoenix Hall.

Along the way, Inoue Linko was very excited, she is a native of Kyoto, she came to Tokyo when she went to university, it has been more than ten years, and she has very little time to go home every year, this time she has a rare opportunity to go on a business trip, and she also thanks to Moqi's help.

"What's the food in Kyoto?

Xiao Li poked Kazumiko and said with a cheap smile: "I heard that there are many high-end cuisines in Kyoto, where there are many gardens and deep cultural atmosphere, only the highest class cuisine can be worthy of this kind of place, right?"

"You know how to eat!"

Kazumiko glanced at Xiao Li and said dissatisfiedly: "We're not here to eat this time, the boss is here to participate in the competition, can you have a snack?"

"Competition?" Xiao Li shook his head and said proudly: "You still don't know the boss, why am I so relaxed? It fully shows that I have absolute confidence in the boss! What FISM, in front of the boss is a floating cloud, isn't it the boss?"

Mo Qi heard Xiao Li's words in front, shook his head with a smile, and said loudly: "I know what you mean by slapping your ass, settle down and I'll invite you to eat kaiseki cuisine!"

"Thank you boss!" Xiao Li smiled and said excitedly: "See, this is the style of being a big brother, you all learn a little!"

Everyone laughed, the team had Xiao Li Zai always full of laughter, and even Inoue Rinko was used to the existence of this pistachio, everyone talked and laughed, and soon arrived in Kyoto.

As soon as you get off the bus, you can feel that the city is different, and it is indisputably beautiful no matter what the season. Arashiyama is dyed pink with cherry blossoms in spring, women in brightly colored yukata gather on the corner of Gion on summer nights, maple trees are red in Tofukuji in autumn, and Kinkakuji is sunny after snow in winter.

It is the spiritual home of the island nation depicted by Higashiyama Kaii, and the ancient capital that lasted for thousands of years from the Heian period. Kyoto is out of the ordinary, and no other city has as many secluded temples and shrines as Kyoto, the zen-like dry landscape of Ginkakuji, the rolling torii gates of Fushimi Inari, the bamboo forest trails of Sagano and the forest in front of Shimogamo Shrine are all the best lessons to learn about Japanese aesthetics.

At the same time, Kyoto has a side to the WTO, so you can go to Hanamikoji to rub shoulders with costumed geisha, pick up souvenirs at the crowded Nienzaka, or have a drink with the students of Kyoto University on the Kamogawa River.

Inoue Rinko is a native of Kyoto, and it is very comfortable to return to her hometown, so she will arrange a hotel with everyone first, and after putting away your luggage, it will be just noon, and she will eat nearby.

"Kaiseki first came from Zen Taoism, in order to resist hunger in the long-term listening to Zen, a piece of stomach bouldering, called "kaiseki", later there were refreshments for the monks who listened to Zen, and then there was the most famous kaiseki cuisine. It's interesting to think about it, and the last food is related to fighting hunger at the beginning. ”

"Many islanders believe that the only way to enjoy true traditional food is to go to an old restaurant in Kyoto and enjoy kaiseki cuisine while looking at the beautiful garden. The "Chakaiseki" cuisine, which absorbs the elegance of the tea ceremony culture, embodies the beauty of food culture. In addition to the ingredients, kaiseki cuisine pursues the beauty of the space created by the utensils, seats, garden, scroll paintings, and vases, and the skilled techniques that create the essence of the cuisine, tea kaiseki cuisine. ”

On the way, Inoue Rinko briefly introduced the characteristics of kaiseki cuisine, not only Xiao Li, but even Mochi is also interested in food, so she usually consults a lot of information, and as a tour guide, she must always be serious and responsible.

"The meal that the host invites guests to taste is now not limited to the tea ceremony, but has become a common high-end dish. "Kaiseki" refers to the meaning of the saint being brown and jade. It is a three-dish with an extreme emphasis on exquisiteness, both on the tableware and the presentation of the food, but the portion size of the food is small, and it is considered a work of art by some, and of course the high-end kaiseki cuisine is also expensive. The main food containers include pottery, porcelain, lacquerware, etc. Famous kaiseki restaurants include Tsujiru in Kyoto Sanjo, Lucky Signs in Koryobashi in Osaka, and Zhaofukulou in Higashi-Omi City, Shiga Prefecture. ”

"The cuisine is fresh, and kaiseki cuisine is the best. Each dish is freshly made after the customer orders, which further reflects the freshness and taste of the food, because it is freshly made, so the customer generally needs to wait for a while after ordering. ”

"Typically, the time from ordering to the first course is 10-15 minutes, and the transition time between each type of dish is 5-10 minutes. Therefore, it is important for guests to maintain a calm mind while waiting for their meal, and not to spoil the state of mind of kaiseki cuisine by eating with an irritable mind. ”

"Our destination this time is Tsujiru, and since we want to eat, let's eat the most authentic food. Not only can you enjoy the water quality of one of Kyoto's best hot springs, but you can also enjoy exquisite dishes made with seasonal ingredients, so everyone is sure to be satisfied. ”

After listening to Rinko's introduction, even Mochi was looking forward to the top masters who had tasted sushi, tempura, and eel rice in Tokyo, and their tastes became more and more dizzy, and the general food really couldn't meet their requirements.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, Kyoto is much quieter and more natural, and there are not many people who come to the hotel, so it is easy to book a private room, change into the Japanese kimono and casual clothes that have been prepared in the room, come to the Japanese restaurant, sit on tatami mats, and prepare to enjoy the famous kaiseki cuisine.

Rinko skillfully ordered good dishes with the waiter, and said with a smile: "The traditional menu here has been improved again, and in line with the local seasonal products of Kyoto, the chef's set meal made with local vegetables and home-grown rice is very popular with customers, especially the rice is only 89 meters unique to the local area!"

"The menu here is so complicated! And Chinese?"

Kazumiko picked up the menu and was surprised, and Rinko explained: "The menu here is divided into four seasons, and only seasonal ingredients are taken every season, including both mountain goods, seafood, and plain products, balancing the combination of animals and plants, and the menu is Japanese with Chinese, traditional Chinese and ancient Chinese for customers to order." ”

Mo Qi nodded, picked up the menu and looked at the Chinese introduction above, and found a large number of various names in front of him, and finally it was actually a dish!
