It would be difficult to overstate how much I appreciate this spot. Minneapolis is lucky to have such a talented chef, and outstanding staff, serving it. Their culture, quality, and thoughtfulness are unmatched. This is as pure and fresh a sushi experience as you can get in the Midwest.
I cannot recommend Kado no Mise highly enough.

My wife and I had an amazing experience at Kado no Mise this past weekend. We sat at the Chef's counter, which we would recommend. The Chef prepared each dish and presented it to us with details on what we were eating. The Sake pairing was a very good decision. My wife loved it, and asked if we could return again soon.

We had such a terrific experience here with a group of friends. Went with the Take Omakase. Every dish was beautiful, fresh, and flavorful. The entire staff were friendly and fun. Really made it a fantastic experience. We stayed until the restaurant closed! Can’t wait to come back again to try sitting at the chef’s counter.

The most exquisite dining experience I have ever had. Felt like all aspects of my time there was so carefully curated. I've done omakase before in other cities, but this was, by far, the most unique.

Such a transcendent experience!! My girlfriend and I selected the Omakase Chef's Counter Reservation “Take,” and it was perfect! The chefs were inspiring, the food was beautiful, and the sake pairings just elevated the experience further! I specifically wanted to recognize our specific sushi chef. She inspired our confidence and responded to our every need!! Highly recommended!!!

We did their matsu dinner. It was exquisite as they told shared with us each piece of nigri we ate and what part of the fish it was from. They also have a Japanese Whiskey Bar. They have a pretty good selection, but went with their old fashion.

Top dining experience. Top omakase experience in the Twin Cities.
Our family of three—my husband, my son, and I—visited Kado no Mise on Easter Sunday and selected the most premium omakase experience. The setting was calm and refined, and each course was presented with care. My son especially enjoyed the evening, and we appreciated the attention to detail throughout the service.
There were a few things we noticed during the meal. Several of the nigiri pieces had a noticeably fishy taste, which was unexpected based on our past experiences, especially in Japan where the fish tends to be naturally sweet and clean in flavor. The tiny squid in the appetizer course also had a strong flavor that made it less enjoyable.
That said, there were some standout items we truly enjoyed—the toro (though slightly fishy), anago, and A5 wagyu were especially memorable for their texture and taste.
One small detail we also noticed: the final sake in the pairing was missed with our last course. While not a major issue, it was a noticeable oversight given the otherwise attentive service.
Overall, we’re grateful for the experience and hospitality and wanted to share our impressions as honest, constructive feedback.

This is the best omakase place I've been to, bar none. Nowhere tops Kado in the states and I've yet to meet someone who feels different. In Japan I have found some that come close, but somehow still feel like Kado just slightly stands above them - I spend too much time in my life seeking a place that can match Kado no Mise. Maybe someday I'll find something, but until then best believe I will continue to come here and enjoy the omakase with sake pairing.

As always, the counter at Kado no Mise served us a beautiful Edo-style (mostly nigiri) omakase meal. The pristine fish were carefully arranged in “flights” (e.g. tuna comprised akami, chutoro, and otoro) that often included species not commonly found in the US. Tsuya, our itamae, was careful to explain each selection to us, where it came from, and how it was prepared. The meal was well-paced, and the optional drink pairings were excellent and occasionally even surprising. We also enjoyed a course of fugu, our first in almost 50 years of enjoying sushi. This was our fifth or sixth visit to KnM over the years, and we expect to visit Shige-San and his wonderful staff again the next time we’re in Mpls. BTW On Tuesday nights, they serve an kaiseki menu, kind of a seasonal tasting of traditional Japanese dishes (usually including some sashimi or sushi). Kado no Mise is the best sushi bar within 500 miles and is worth a trip.

My favorite Sushi restaurant in Minnesota..! The food, service, and atmosphere are phenomenal. I would recommend this to anyone. I've only had good experiences at this restaurant and will continue to come back.

My only go to authentic sushi place in the Twin Cities! It is a bit pricey but well worth it.
