Culture
In Kyoto, I Don’t Dream, I Feel
We sat down with the legendary writer and food critic François Simon to learn where he finds serenity in the historic city of Japan.
The city personifies what it means to live from a place of care for craft and time-honored tradition all with respect for nuance, quiet, and subtlety.
— Deborah Royer, Kyoto Serenity
