■ KYOTO GASTRONOMY AWARD...
The "Kyoto Gastronomy Award" was newly established in 2023 to rediscover and support the charm of food-related cultural and tourism resources in Kyoto Prefecture. It covers five areas: the four "Another Kyoto" areas (Umi no Kyoto, Mori no Kyoto, Ocha no Kyoto, and Take no Sato Otokuni), plus the "Hidden Kyoto" area added this year, known for its lesser-known attractions. Newly conceived seasonal dishes (collaborative menus) from these five areas will be judged and voted on by general participants, leading to the announcement and award of the "Best of Another Kyoto and Hidden Kyoto."
