KUSAKABE offers a "sublime" dining experience, merging art and food in an unforgettable omakase setting. Guests rave about the "top notch" service and "amazing" presentation. Standout dishes include trout and bluefin sushi. Though it's a premium experience, many believe it's "worth the price" for its extraordinary culinary journey.

Each year, I enjoy the dining experience of the prior 11 months. KUSAKABE is a marriage of art and food. I know to remember carefully each dish since the next will be so extraordinary that if all senses are not fully engaged for each taste, it might be forgotten for the next extraordinary taste. In 2025, my objective is to dine at least three times at this rarefied gift
