An exquisite traditional Japanese cuisine on the Lower East Side, the 5 Star Yelp rated Kaikagetsu is adored by The New York Times & Eater, not only for its authentic presentation of traditional dishes from the Hida region of Japan, but for its Kaiseki: an art form of dining that balances the taste, texture, appearance, and colors of food as an ode to the seasons.
Grab your $139 pulse (a $185 value) for a 5 Course Kaiseki Dinner and a Carafe of Sake for Two, where you and a date or your closest epicurean pal will be treated to 5 courses of brilliantly imaginative, elegantly rendered dishes.
Experience this centuries-old Japanese ritual, prepared by Hida-born masters of Kaiseki. Restauranteur Yasuo Shigeta & Creative Director Tomoyuki Iwanami recruited 3 chefs, all of which specialize in the cooking of this particular mountainous area in Tokyo. Further elevated by the sake, your night will be as transportive as it is delicious.
The fleeting nature of time and the beauty of the flora & fauna that shape the seasons are reflected in the ever-changing menu. You'll begin with a chef's selection of appetizers, moving on to a procession of fare such as Assorted Fresh Fish, Hid Beef Nigiri Sushi, Deep Fried Sweetfish, and more, ended with a special dessert of the day.
The zen-like atmosphere is heightened with a New York City buzz, evoking elements of Hida's historic nature via serene, wood-accented decor, brought into the modern era with a social flair sure to make this evening one you won't soon forget...
Praised as an "authentic Japanese restaurant in LES" by Time Out, Kaikagetsu is an intimate restaurant that exudes an air of authenticity & elegance, with minimalist décor & soft lighting setting the stage for an unparalleled experience. The masterful chefs skillfully craft each dish using the freshest, locally-sourced ingredients, elevating classic Japanese flavors to new heights.
Helmed by restaurateur Yasuo Shigeta and creative director Tomoyuki Iwanami, Kaikagetsu is a captivating haute Japanese newcomer founded on the Kaiseki principle of honoring nature through cuisine. The space you'll occupy features design elements that mirror the region of Hida & its mountainous homes, from black wood & white walls to trinkets & accents that take you far, far away.
Settle in to the 5 Star Yelp Rated scene as you prepare for your 5 course dinner, which is designed to tap into your senses through fresh, seasonal ingredients. Everything is plated with intention & precision, making you feel at one with nature while treating your palate to something exquisite.
The chōchin lantern casts a warm glow, while new fresh flowers are chosen weekly to represent the season. Sommelier-selected sakes are poured into patterned Edo Kiriko glasses produced using the same method since the 19th century. Every detail is truly transcendent. So sink your teeth into stunning fresh fish, highly prized Hida beef, and so much more!
There's no question, this is the ultimate way to experience Japan in the heart of New York City...
