The Best Restaurant in Seattle Center and Lower Queen Anne, Seattle

The traditional eight-course kaiseki served here is the height of Japanese refinement. Local seafood, premium meats, and foraged delicacies are prepared with exquisite balance—each dish enhancing, never overwhelming, its core ingredients. The menu changes monthly, but you can expect grilled fish, nigiri, Wagyu sukiyaki, and tempura among the highlights. Two dinner seatings are offered (with lunch and early dinner on Sundays). The chef’s counter and dining area are understated and serene—the beauty is all on the plate.
