Kissho Kichijoji

Founded in 1955 in Akasaka, Kissho specializes in innovative cuisine, showcasing traditional Japanese culinary techniques and using premium, safe, and seasonal ingredients. The menu is crafted to allow patrons to savor the flavors of Japan’s four distinct seasons. With a rich heritage of 70 years, Kissho’s Kichijoji outlet continues to be a go-to destination for those seeking exceptional cuisine. Guests can enjoy the delectable flavors of seasonal ingredients, immersing themselves in the essence of each passing season. With a keen eye for detail, the restaurant’s chefs curate a culinary journey that showcases carefully prepared soup stocks and vibrant dishes representing the beauty of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The most popular menu offering continues to be the restaurant’s sukiyaki option, with thin beef slices simmered in a mixture of soy sauce and mirin. The shabu-shabu hotpot comes a close second, where guests are invited to savor the delightful flavors of their signature homemade ponzu sauce, a recipe cherished — and closely guarded — since the restaurant's inception. Guests can take their pick from a wide variety of seating options, including table seats and two private rooms that can accommodate up to 12 people.
