    Starstruck 💯

    THIS MEAL BLEW ME AWAY

    We have several high quality kaiseki options in the Bay Area and I have been to many of them including Michelin star Wakuriya & Kenzo Napa as well as Redwood City’s Ranzan & Ogiku.

    Kaiseki is a Japanese-style of menu less well known here and featuring multiple cooking techniques with an array of dishes

    Plating and presentation play an important part but it’s always the unique food flavors, seasonal cuisine, and cooking techniques that showcase the very best of kaiseki

    I was familiar with Chef Aoki and Yuko from their former establishment Ramen Saryo Hachi so came in with expectations of a solid meal

    The brightly lit, brand new establishment with a gorgeous wood table 9-seating area, however, allows them to truly shine and to reach their full potential of which I only had an inkling

    Each dish is meticulously crafted and the flavors and presentation are a level above anywhere I’ve had. Chef Aoki speaks minimal English but Yuko’s explanation of every dish combined with the thought and decision behind them not only is educational but significantly enhanced my enjoyment

    This type of dining may not be for everyone given both the price point and duration (1 seating nightly, ~2.5 hours) but for me, it is my best meal of 2023. I left delightfully surprised and happy and if that’s not the very best dining can be than I’d rather not share
