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.

Kado no Mise is the best resturant in Minneapolis for traditional sushi (nigiri, sashimi, and maki). It's a truly unforgettable dining experience, living up to all the positive reviews. The attention to detail and the artistry behind each dish are evident, and every piece of sushi has incredible flavor. The qualify of fish is top notch for Minneapolis. If you're looking for authentic, top-tier sushi, Kado no Mise is the place to go.

We sat at the chef's counter for omakase - where our chef selects and serves our meal. We were wowed! We greatly enjoyed the beautiful selections of fresh fish, savory miso soup, bright teas, and sorbet for dessert. I can't remember which fish was which, but each one was delicate and delicious - various tunas and mackerel and squid and cornet and so much more. I would highly recommend for an elegant evening. And the whiskey bar across the hall is worth a stop, too!

It was a wonderful experience. Best Japanese food I have ever had.
While I had one of the best bites of food of my life here (toro, fatty tuna,) the real highlight was the immaculate service and delightful conversation with the chef at the counter. He was insightful and courteous throughout, and watching him work was so fun +A.

I don't have anything bad to say about this place. I enjoyed every minute of my time here, and it's worth the money I spent. I've been to Michelin star Omakase restaurants, and this is right up there with the best of them. The chef deserves a James Beard award and any other honors for curating that lovely menu.
