While in Tokyo, the group had a Kaiseki meal for lunch. Kaiseki-ryori is one of Japan's finiest and most expensive styles of cooking. It is made up of a series of small, carefully balanced and expertly presented dishes. Ours being a luncheon, the meal came in a traditional laquerware bento box. A keiseki meal is meant to be a feast for all the senses. The atmosphere of the room was exquisite as well. We sat on the tatami mats and a waitress in a kinomo served us our meal. The tokononoma hung on the wall of our private banquet room and a beautiful fish pond and stone lantern were on view outside our windows.
