The moss and plants brought to your table are not to be admired slowly...they are specialties to be eaten! Kyo gastronomy KOZO is a one-house gastronomy restaurant where you will be captivated by a moss terrarium that looks just like the real thing. Not only are micro herbs arranged on top of the foie gras and potato purée, but also the bowls reflect the seasons of Kyoto, such as plum and cherry blossoms in spring, autumn leaves in fall, and snowy landscape in winter, delighting the eyes of regular customers.

I wanted to create a picturesque visual on a Kiyomizu-yaki plate for the Wagyu beef main course. The wagyu beef is cooked at low temperature and served with two different miso sauces," said Chef Noda.

He has a unique background, having trained in Japanese cuisine, although he may have come from a French or Italian background. The one-of-a-kind course created based on his sincere attitude toward ingredients, cultivated in a world that values the seasons, is perfect for anniversaries.

The island kitchen is like a live concert hall, where never-before-seen dishes are brought to the table one after another. The restaurant's reasonable prices, ranging from 6,600 yen for a 10-course lunch or 12,000 yen for a 12-course dinner, are one of the reasons why many fans continue to visit every month, even after five years have passed since the restaurant opened. This year, the restaurant plans to start offering a hands-on experience of growing your own moss terrarium, so look forward to that as well.
