This Japanese restaurant is not like any other average restaurant — they are constantly seeking to evolve and improve their dishes while still maintaining some traditional aspects of them. Ogawa is led by the head chef and owner who has had years of experience training in famous restaurants in Arashiyama and Gion, where he picked up the skills to create his very own techniques for crafting traditional-modern fusion dishes. The chef’s signature cooking style is manipulating the ingredients and seasonings freely and without any boundaries. Ogawa features seasonal ingredients in their cuisine, including high-quality raw ingredients like sweet bream from Nagasaki, tuna from Kyoto, and caviar from Latvia. This advanced restaurant is one of the reputable ones for Japanese cuisine, not bound by traditional aspects but still inspired by them.
