Enjoy a rare Zen shojin ryori lunch or dinner inside Shizuhamo (Seasonal Harmony), a Kyoto City-designated Important Machiya dedicated to preserving Japanese tea and flower culture. Savour a beautifully presented seasonal shojin ryori set — traditional Zen Buddhist vegetarian cuisine, prepared without meat or fish, rarely offered outside temple settings. After your meal, enjoy Japanese wagashi sweets and matcha in the peaceful surroundings of an authentic machiya. During your visit, explore the tea rooms and Japanese garden, and discover tea utensils and architectural features used in Japanese tea culture, including a nijiriguchi entrance, tsukubai purification basin, traditional mizuya area, hanging kettle, stone tea mill, and tea jars. This two-hour experience offers a rare, relaxed way to savour Kyoto's Zen culinary tradition alongside historic architecture and tea culture, away from the crowds.
