Kappo DC

What originally opened as Sakedokoro Makoto in 1994 by Chef Yoshiaki Itoh and later taken over by his son, Gene Itoh, is now being resurrected by the late chef’s colleague, Chef Minoru Ogawa as Kappo DC. Kappo DC is a 21-seat restaurant showcasing a ever-changing eight course tasting menu. As with Kaiseki or Izakaya styles of Japanese cuisine, Kappo is a multi-course meal left entirely up to the chef. With Kappo literally meaning “to cut and cook” and Makoto meaning “harmony” that is exactly what you’ll find behind Chef Ogawa’s counter.
