Kakou Okamoto
Japanese
A kaiseki restaurant in Higashiyama where the sake list is the spine of the meal, not an afterthought. The chef holds a Michelin star and builds each course around what pairs well with the rice wine, so the bottles keep moving. Appetizers come out one at a time, freshly cooked rather than arranged on a platter. The meal closes with chub mackerel sushi and somen soup instead of the usual rice, a quiet signal that the kitchen does things its own way.
