The symbol of the Japanese Imperial House and an indicator that autumn has begun, the chrysanthemum flower, or ‘kiku’, has been venerated in Japan for thousands of years.
During autumn, the flower is celebrated at festivals featuring lavish floral displays with chrysanthemum blossoms that have been specially cultivated for the occasion. At this time of year the flower’s fragrant petals are even included in traditional simmered and pickled dishes.
To celebrate the season of the chrysanthemum, Master Chef Shigeru Hagiwara at our Michelin Plate signature restaurant Yamazato has created authentic chrysanthemum Gozen lunch platters and a delicious multi-course Kaiseki dinner.
Highlights of the Gozen lunch platters include dishes such as simmered sweet fish with roe, chestnuts and autumn leaf-shaped carrot; and moonfish with almond garnished with sweet potato, pickled turnip and plum paste.
