SADLY, KYO YA IS NOW CLOSED.

Kaiseki is a traditional Japanese seasonal meal. The one at Kyo Ya is constantly changing at the chef and the Greenmarket’s whims. You must make a reservation for the 9, 10, or 11 course meal. But it is certainly worth planning ahead as you can delve into unexpected flavors that will leave your tastebuds clean and satisfied. Check out the video above to get a better sense of the meal. Price: $95/$120/$150
