Plates at an upscale Japanese restaurant in Gion, Kyoto

Almost too pretty to eat — when dining at an upscale Japanese restaurant in Gion, Kyoto, I couldn’t resist taking out my trusty pocket camera and snapping away at each elegantly presented plate. What a wonderful way to remember a fantastic meal!
