Kaiseki Furukawa

Kaiseki is a form of Japanese cooking that draws its philosophy from tea ceremony traditions in 16th-century Kyoto. At its core is the belief that we are at our best when we experience every moment with one another as if it were a once-in-a-lifetime gathering. As a culinary expression, it is a reflection of the season—an intricate rhythm of taste and texture brought forth in a progression of courses. Kaiseki Furukawa’s founding chef/co-owner, Shigeyuki Furukawa, was born in Japan and became a Kaiseki chef in Tokyo. He then moved to Kyoto, so he could work directly with master Kaiseki chefs to cultivate a still deeper understanding of the cuisine. It has been his lifelong dream to bring the pure form of this cooking to his own restaurant.
