It is hard to put into words the amazing experience that we had here at Kaiseki Furukawa in Minneapolis. This was the single best meal we have ever had in our lives. It was an honor to dine with Shigeyuki Furukawa and his team. Our minds were blown by the quality of ingredients and the thought and care that went into the design of each item on the 10+ course menu. We also had a sake pairing that added another element throughout. This restaurant is truly a world class gem and we are lucky to have it here here in Twin Cities.
My first kaiseki I’ve ever done and I was blown away. The quality of the service and ingredients are top notch. Very worth it.

This was exquisite and really memorable. Thank you to Chef Furukawa and his incredible team. We are lucky to have authentic kaiseki in Minneapolis. The sake pairings were exceptional and service was unbelievable. Super attentive but in a way that felt natural. When you consider how special the ingredients are (much of it sourced from Japan), how labor intensive the preparations are, all the beautiful serveware and meticulous, seasonal attention to detail, this is actually an amazing value for a high end dining experience. I can't wait to go back to try a different seasonal menu and the omakase.

Go for the experience and food. You will not regret it AT ALL! Fine dining is meant to be savory and processed slowly with each bite. It's about the art and appreciation. By the end of the night, you'll find yourselves surprisingly stuffed.

Such an amazing experience, both with the chefs and service, as well as with our fellow diners. I couldn't have asked for a more intimate yet communal dining adventure.

This was my partner and I's first time at Kaiseki Furukawa. We came to celebrate our two year anniversary and they even customized the menu with "Happy Anniversary!" on it for us. The experience overall was outstanding. You could tell the ingredients were of the highest quality and each dish was well thought out. We also shared the sake/wine pairings and each one complimented each course very. Our favorite courses were the Tsukuri, Shokuji, and Mizugashi. There's not much to say about the sashimi in the Tsukuri course other than it was just extremely fresh and delicious. In the Shokuji course, I was pleasantly surprised by the tiny sardines! The sardines paired with the rice and pickled veggies were a perfect match. I was also super excited to finally get the chance to try the famous expensive Japanese muskmelon in the Mizugashi course and it definitely did not disappoint! It was unbelievably juicy and sweet - almost as if you were eating candy. Prior to our reservation we specifically asked for no octopus and they were very accommodating by providing us with alternatives. After the first course they quickly noticed that my partner is left handed and always made sure to put his utensils and dishes pointing towards his left side which I thought was so thoughtful! Honestly it was the small details that really made this place standout. At the end of the meal we also got a cute Polaroid photo taken of us at the end so we can remember this experience forever! Definitely recommend coming here with an open mind, curiosity, and an empty stomach! You never know what might surprise you.

Incredible. I waited a long time for them to reopen. It is a must-try. Only 2 seatings on Tuesdays.

Been to kaiseki multiple times and it's always been an utmost pleasure. It's a wholesome experience you will find nowhere else.
In my opinion, this is not only the best sushi in the Twin Cities, but one of the best in the United States. Truly superb.

Highly recommend. Phenomenal experience. Reservations required. The entire adventure was perfect. The service was amazing and all 10 of the courses were exquisitely prepared with attention to the smallest detail. From gold flakes on the glassware to made-in-house soy sauce and wasabi. The counter only serves 8 individuals. Prep for the courses is completed in front of you. The chef engages the guests as each dish is explained. Incredible to believe this quality of craftsmanship is available in Minneapolis. Unique experience for all foodies.

A beautiful delicacy- a rare- gourmet - as a craft of knowledge is not easy. Hard work and study linkage technique.- it’s not random of a appearance clear historicity since the edo and Meiji with matsu take. In this restaurant although with some new intervention repetition in technique and value in core. Congrats @kadonomise -a heritage of culinary. Thank you for beautiful intervention and creation and continuity of technique in tradition. In feeling enriched each moments of bite and waiting next.. I wish I attached with wealth so my parade nutritions as healthy as this as yummy as this in daily . See you soon!!??
