Kyo no Obanzai
Everyday Wisdom and the Essence of Kyoto Living
About Kyo no Obanzai
Kyo no Obanzai (京のおばんざい, Kyoto-style home-cooked dishes) refers to traditional dishes prepared in ordinary households in Kyoto for generations.
These meals often feature seasonal and readily available ingredients, brought together with minimal effort and ensuring nothing goes to waste. For perishable dishes, only the amount that can be consumed is prepared, while the rest is covered with longer-lasting side dishes that can be stored in advance.
This culinary tradition is full of wisdom — economizing money, time, and effort, while generating little waste, making it a sustainable and cherished way of life in Kyoto.
