VThe Table
Curated Culinary Experiences
A considered mix of Japan's most coveted tables — not every meal needs to be a Michelin-starred occasion. Kyoto kaiseki houses, refined Shojin Ryori (Buddhist temple vegetarian cuisine), plant-forward modernist tasting menus, hidden machiya dinners and the ritual of in-room ryokan dining.
- Shojin Ryori — temple vegetarian (Daigo · Shigetsu · Ikkyu)
- Vegetarian kaiseki (Kikunoi · Hyotei on request)
- Florilège — plant-based fine dining (2★ + Green)
- Luxury cafés, matcha houses & patisserie
- Premium whisky & sake bars
- In-room ryokan kaiseki (vegetarian arranged)
- Hidden machiya & izakaya introductions
- Optional Michelin omakase (non-vegetarian)
Dietary Note · Vegetarian Curation
Japan offers an exceptional vegetarian tradition through Shojin Ryori — Buddhist temple cuisine refined over centuries. Wherever a starred kaiseki house is suggested, a full vegetarian kaiseki menu can be arranged with advance notice. Where Michelin status is not the priority, we have favoured restaurants known for warmth, atmosphere and exceptional vegetarian craft over star count alone.
