Onjiki

One of Kobe's kaiseki restaurants sticks out from the rest, not limiting itself to only Japanese cuisine. The chef of this popular restaurant is a genius at incorporating foreign culinary techniques to elevate Japanese ingredients. Even though Onjiki remains overlooked by the masses, especially those from the main cities, this restaurant is not without its loyal following. Each course is unique, using ingredients from all over Japan, and catering to the different seasons. When the grilled sweetfish is served, the customers are always happy to welcome it to the menu. With both counter seats to witness the chef in his zone and private rooms for special occasions, Onjiki communicates the true flavors of local ingredients, using unconventional techniques.
