Essential Japanese Seasonal Decorations - Spring

Seasonality: Early Spring/ February

Japanese Name: Wagashi - Shiraume

English Name: Traditional Japanese Confectionery - White Plum Blossom

   Ume (梅), or Japanese apricot blossom, is a flower that blooms from late winter to early spring (January to February) and is associated with the traditional Japanese new year that was based on the lunar calendar. Part of the charm of plum blossoms derived from the fact that during the cold when the landscape remained barren, such bold and beautiful flowers could blossom from the gnarled and nearly black branches of the plum tree. The brightly colored petals ranging from white, yellow, and light pink to even a dark maroon stood in stark contrast to the bare branches. This aesthetically pleasing sight has gone on to symbolize youth and new beginnings.

Shiraume Kaiseki Dinner, Kyoto, Japan

Shiraume is actually a ryokan (traditional Japanese bed and breakfast). They have a stand-alone restaurant but it is a much better experience (and deal) to get the kaiseki dinner while you're staying at this ryokan to get the full experience, where they serve the entire 2-hour dinner in your room.

They also serve traditional Japanese breakfast the next morning. Get both. They are both amazing and not to be missed.

Check out my photos for their breakfast here:

The food was fresh and delicious. The hostess speaks fluent English and explained to us what every course was and how to enjoy them.

At peak touris season, such as cherry blossom in the spring and the maple season in the fall, Shiraume gets booked up some 4-6 months before the season starts. Book as early as you can to get a room in this ryokan.

You can see their TripAdvisor reviews from all over the world here:

and their own website is here:

The only draw back of booking here is that everything is communicated via email. No online booking or calendar to see what dates are available. However, I promise you, it is worth every effort that you put in to book a room at this top rated ryokan in Kyoto.
