Best Seasonal Restaurants in Kawasaki

Our first time with shabu shabu and our experience could not have been better. A little difficult to find, but you are welcomed with a big smile and wonderful service. Excellent menu choices, we went with one of the Wagyu beef and one with pork. Multiple courses for both. Appetizers/starters are wonderful then we came to the main course for shabu shabu. It took a few minutes to cook the vegetables and they were delicious. When we added the meats, it would only take a few seconds to deliver a very tasty morsel. Two dipping sauces – we both favored the sesame, which was delicious. After dinner, the rice porridge was an excellent treat, all topped off with homemade ice cream. Excellent menu with meal choices, wine, whiskey, and beer choices, and absolutely terrific service. I’m not sure if we can find another shabu shabu that is better but if you are in Tokyo, you must come here!

This was our 1st time in Tokyo & were excited to try authentic Japanese cuisine! We were staying in Shibuya & wanted somewhere walking distance nearby. By chance, we booked Kappo Sanoya...it's located on a quiet street on the lower level of a small building, but don't let it's humble appearance fool you! Inside was a master Chef ready to create, educate & entertain his few guests (it holds 8 people max per sitting) Chef Masayuki Sano meticulously prepared each unique dish...we couldn't wait to try each one! The sake pairings were spot on matching without overpowering the dishes. We enjoyed our meal so much that while we were still there, we booked for the next night too! He amazed us again with a whole new menu! We feel blessed to experience top quality true Japanese cuisine! Arigato Chef 😋

An awesome meal from start to finish. The food, staff, and service were amazing. Highly recommended!

Food very good. Portions a bit on the small side, but typical for Japan. Friendly helpful service.

Wonderful meal from wonderful hosts. This was a nice way to have an informal, home-cooking style of kaiseki dinner. I love the concept. The hosts were wonderful and very accommodating of some dietary restrictions from one in our party. Food is prepared on an open counter so you get to see the cooks’ handiwork. Menu is vegetables oriented but not pure vegetarian (though ordering only vegetarian options looks feasible). The setting is not elegant or romantic but matches the spirit of the healthy food.
