Kaiseki originally meant Onjaku, a rock or a konnyaku heated by an open fire that was wrapped by clothes to warm oneself.

Dishes are beautifully arranged and garnished, often with real leaves and flowers, as well as edible garnishes designed to resemble natural plants and animals.

Growing out of the small dishes served during traditional Japanese tea ceremonies, a kaiseki meal is the highest form of Japanese culinary art.
