is one of three basic styles of Japanese cuisine and a highly ritualized form of serving food, in which prescribed dishes are carefully arranged and served on legged trays; full-course dinner, regular dinner. Honzen has largely disappeared since the mid-20th century, though a few restaurants still serve what they bill as honzen ryōri. It largely survives today as one of the main influences of kaiseki cuisine.
==History== Honzen arose among warrior households in the Muromachi period (14th century), in contrast to the earlier (9th century) of the aristocracy. This corresponded with the rise and subsequent entrenchment of the power of the warrior class vis-a-vis the nobility.
