Wow. What an experience.
Get a reservation in advance, dress appropriately and come hungry. There is a lot of food and it is all amazing.
This is a 12 course traditional Japanese Kaiseki and not at all just tasting menu portions. Each dish is complex and the whole ensemble is very very well thought out. Heavy courses are followed by light ones and the chefs explain each of the dishes in detail.
The menu changes by season to infuse the ingredients that are in season. Definitely an experience that is worth trying. I look forward to coming back.

An impressively creative (if not always perfect crafted) display of structured tastes, with especial care placed on individual flavors within each mixed dish. Menu changes monthly. Restaurant is pretty busy so expect a lot of fellow guests of all types.

Amazing! Ingredients were absolutely top notch and service too. Atmosphere super good.
Some people mention that flavors are not strong, but that is normal in kaiseki. If there's too strong flavoring you can't appreciate the absolute marvel of the ingredients utilized here.
Strongly recommend!
