Customer Reviews
Hands down the finest food I have ever had in many trips to Japan. Exquisite in all dimensions. Simply the most gracious gentile service one could imagine. Chef Matsuo is a genius able to adhere to the grand traditions of kai-seki while at the same time adding small wrinkles and surprises. He has three Michelin stars and Kashiwaya delivers on that promise of excellence.
Picture a residential neighborhood where you would probably not start a restaurant; then picture a street in that neighborhood where you would be quite unlikely to start a restaurant. That is however precisely where this three-star restaurant is located. The philosophy behind it all, just as the fully zen private dining rooms with tatami mats - I assume - is the full and undivided focus should be on the dinner. And: it delivered. The food is season bound and, at times, surprising. While some of the dishes we had were ‘just’ great Japanese food, two of the twelve dishes we had were truly magnificent. With respect to the sake and wine pairing we had; the sake was lovely (as a non-sake expert) and we enjoyed the wine (although other Michelin star restaurants may certainly have better wines).
