Cuisine
Kaiseki in Tokyo
A multi-course Japanese meal built around the season: a sequence of small dishes — something raw, something simmered, something grilled, rice and soup to finish — served in a set order. It is closely associated with Kyoto, and Tokyo has many restaurants in the same tradition, along with kappo, where the cooking happens at a counter in front of you.
Meals often take two hours or more and are reserved in advance. Lunch is often a shorter course at a lower price.
We are still choosing the restaurants for this page. Until they are here, our guides cover how to book and what to expect.
