Kitashinchi Okurano

Kitashinchi Okurano is where kaiseki cuisine takes center stage, honoring an art form derived from the tea ceremony. The monthly-changing menu is a culinary journey through seasons, with the head chef, a veteran from a long-established Japanese restaurant, orchestrating each dish with skill and passion. Here, kaiseki is more than a meal; it's a Michelin-recommended experience steeped in “wakei seijaku” — the Japanese philosophy of harmony and tranquility. With a penchant for sparking conversations through cuisine, the chef balances tradition with playfulness. Even familiar items like crab croquettes are transformed, infused with the aroma of toasted crab shells for an intriguing twist on a familiar dish. With its stylish, open design, the counter sets the stage for a dining experience where every detail matters. The service is regarded as highly as the dishes, with a selection of local sake and wine curated by a qualified sommelier to complement the flavors, balancing your perfect meal.
