Our tour today with Madori was amazing. It felt like a friend was showing us around Kyoto. As visitors to Kyoto I doubt we would have found the places Madori took us to. The food and drinks at all 3 places were delicious. Madori didn’t want us to miss out on any experiences while we are in Kyoto and gave us so many great recommendations for restaurants, cafés and local parks. Highly recommend doing the coffee&shopping tour.

It's an exceptional opportunity for every foodie to watch, how mochi is pounding. Even more so to participate in it! We really enjoyed the interesting insights, and discovering the whole process – not to mention the unique deliciousness of the fresh mochi. We could even try four different types of it! The organisation of the whole event was very smooth: easy communication, clear itinerary, friendly and nice hosts, professional chef by the soup making (actually, it was a complete lunch), lot of further tips and informations on the traditional Japanese cuisine. Marie, our host is actually an advocate of the fermentation and traditional way of cooking ("washoku"), so she has a broader point of view on this topic. Through her experience, we could also get a deeper understanding on the usage of the ingredients and their health effects. It was a pleasure to meet her and participating on this experience. I would warmly recommend to all food lovers and enthusiasts! (The location is within reachable distance of many famous sake breweries and also not far from the Fushimi-inari shrine. So you can schedule nicely into your plans.)

I had a wonderful experience with Midori-san. I enjoyed a local tour with her as my guide, and she was very informative, attentive, and considerate of all my needs. Midori-san also runs her cooking classes and offers many other tours. I highly recommend trying her classes to experience authentic Japanese cuisine and learn many fascinating facts about Kyoto. Thank you so much, Midori-san

A great tour with a knowledgeable guide, Brian. He’s American so obviously speaks perfect English. The walking route is beautiful and the temples are well worth the visit from Kyoto.

Explore Kyoto's Vegetarian Delights

Embark on an unforgettable journey through Kyoto with our one-day vegetarian tours. Rich in culture and steeped in history, Kyoto is not only a city of ancient temples and tranquil gardens but also a haven for food enthusiasts, especially those seeking vegetarian options. This tour expertly curates a selection of dining experiences that showcase the finest plant-based delicacies Japan has to offer.

Taste the Tradition

Kyoto is renowned for its traditional cuisine, known as "kaiseki," which places a strong emphasis on seasonal ingredients and intricate presentation. During your one-day tour, you'll have the chance to savor vegetarian versions of this exquisite culinary art form. Experience a carefully crafted meal that highlights the umami-rich flavors of local produce, delicate tofu creations, and fresh seaweed. Each dish tells a story of Kyoto's rich cultural heritage and the skilled craftsmanship of its chefs.

Beyond kaiseki, explore the vibrant world of "shojin ryori," or Buddhist temple cuisine, which is inherently vegetarian. Visit traditional temples where monks have been perfecting this art for centuries, using seasonal ingredients to create meals that are both nourishing and flavorful. This practice not only respects the ingredients but also harmonizes with the seasonal changes, offering a culinary experience that's both spiritual and satisfying.

Immersive Cultural Experiences

As part of the one-day vegetarian food tour in Kyoto, you will not only feast on delicious meals but also immerse yourself in a series of unique cultural experiences. Begin your day with a serene visit to a local market, where you'll learn about the traditional Japanese ingredients used in Kyoto cuisine. Engage with knowledgeable locals and perhaps pick up a few skills in selecting the freshest produce.

After your market exploration, enjoy a tea ceremony, a quintessential Kyoto experience, where you can taste matcha, a finely ground powdered green tea. This ceremony reflects the Japanese values of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility, enhancing your cultural journey.

The culmination of your tour will be a delightful cooking class. Under the guidance of a professional chef, you'll learn how to prepare simple yet elegant vegetarian Japanese dishes. Take home these recipes and recreate a slice of Kyoto's culinary tradition in your own kitchen.

With the perfect blend of culinary delights and cultural exploration, the Kyoto vegetarian one-day tours offer a unique perspective on this enchanting city. Whether you're a vegetarian seeking exciting new dishes or simply curious about Kyoto's rich food culture, this tour will leave you with cherished memories and perhaps a newfound appreciation for vegetarian cuisine.
