Having recently returned from Japan, we were eager to relive some of the wonderful culinary experiences we had there, so we made reservations for a kaiseki dinner at Migaku. It was our first time dining here, and we were delighted by how exceptional the experience turned out to be.
A few dishes really stood out throughout the meal. The fisherman’s stew was memorable, and the chawan mushi was a lovely example of the care and finesse that make Japanese cuisine so special. We also particularly enjoyed the well-marinated sardines, which were full of flavor. The sukiyaki with Wagyu beef was a true highlight. It was rich, luxurious, and such a treat to experience.
What made the evening especially enjoyable was the opportunity to revisit the flavors of Japan and appreciate the thoughtfulness behind a kaiseki meal. Migaku made a wonderful first impression, and we left feeling that we had discovered a special place for Japanese cuisine in Seattle. We would happily return for another memorable meal.
Gochisousama deshita!
