Yoshihiro Murata is the third-generation owner of Kikunoi in Kyoto and here documents the kaiseki meal season by season, dish by dish. About twenty dishes per season, with exact recipes straight from the restaurant's kitchen and a glossary that makes the material accessible even to those without any prior knowledge. Foreword by both Ferran Adrià and Nobu Matsuhisa. There's no other serious source on kaiseki in English, which makes this book hard to replace and easy to justify.
