Shokado

Shokado is a traditional Japanese style of cuisine that combines elegance and seasonal ingredients into beautifully presented dishes. Originating from a historic tea house in Kyoto, it emphasizes balance, harmony, and aesthetics in both taste and appearance. Shokado meals typically include a variety of small, carefully prepared dishes such as sashimi, grilled items, pickles, and rice, often served in a lacquered box. This approach reflects Japanese philosophies of mindfulness and appreciation for nature, offering diners a thoughtfully curated experience that highlights freshness and culinary artistry.
