Yukashi Japanese Cuisine provides a warm and relaxed dining environment, offering an exceptional Kaiseki experience that has earned its Michelin star. The restaurant transports guests to the best places in Japan, with dishes that highlight skillful preparation and beautiful presentation. The chef is humble, funny, and knowledgeable, making guests feel at home and encouraging conversation throughout the meal. The cuisine features flavorful dishes like Dashi-based broth with umami, balanced with yuzu and sake, and includes special items such as hay-smoked Hamachi sashimi and torched Miyazaki wagyu/uni/foie gras. The multi-course tasting menu offers highlights like a tray of finger-sized foods and dishes with fresh ingredients like uni. The sake menu is extensive, with the chef's favorites always a good choice. The staff are attentive, and small touches like freshly grated wasabi and salt add to the experience. Although the meal can be pricey and portion sizes vary, the quality of food and service make it well worth visiting. The atmosphere is homey and humble, quite different from other pretentious Kaiseki or omakase places, making it a memorable and enjoyable dining experience.
