At the Kyoto Cuisine Exhibition, maiko performed the "Kyoto Dance." It is a popular event where photography is allowed (confirmed at reception). Now in its 118th year since the Meiji era, this competition sees famous Kyoto restaurants compete with each other in a display of Kyoto cuisine masterpieces, kaiseki, shojin ryori, and more. There is also a Ikima-ryu knife demonstration, special sales, and a food corner. *Although it was a two-person performance, due to seating arrangements, I was only able to photograph the one on the right side. Please forgive me if I was rude in taking photos from a close distance. #KyotoCuisineExhibition #KyotoDance #Maiko #Kyoto #maiko #kyoto
