About the Cuisine at Okada
Q1. What kind of cuisine do you serve?
At Okada, we offer traditional Japanese kaiseki-style cuisine enjoyed with sake, known as kaiseki (会席料理).
Seasonal ingredients take center stage, and each course is carefully composed to honor flow, balance, and lingering impressions, allowing guests to experience the subtle transitions of the seasons.
Q2. What is the difference between kaiseki and chakaiseki (懐石)?
Chakaiseki originates from the tea ceremony and emphasizes simplicity and restraint.
Kaiseki (会席) cuisine, by contrast, evolved as a style of dining meant to be enjoyed alongside sake.
At Okada, we cherish the essence of kaiseki cuisine, placing great importance on harmony between food and drink.
Q3. Do you change the menu monthly?
Yes. Our menu changes every month, reflecting the distinct character of each season.
Even within the same season, we refine our dishes according to the subtle expressions of the ingredients at that moment.
Q4. Do you offer sake pairings?
We offer a thoughtful selection of beverages, centered on Japanese sake and including carefully chosen wines, each selected to complement the cuisine.
Each glass is intended to enhance the character of every dish and deepen the lingering impression of the meal.
