Gokomachi Tagawa

"Keen to apply fresh techniques to Japanese cuisine, the chef did not stop at copying the classics. His strongest ambition focuses on char-grilling. Charcoal-smoking the skin side of large conger eels creates a seared sashimi; Wagyu is scorched to make the surface fragrant. The noise and aroma of the kitchen reach guests’ tables, heightening the joy of dining. Soups and appetiser platters are prepared in keeping with tradition. The delightful variety of flavours in the menu testifies to the chef’s creativity and craftsmanship." - Michelin Inspector

What a special, unique experience! Our first kaiseki meal. Chef Tagawa and his team were wonderful, the food was fresh and expertly prepared, and the restaurant was intimate and beautiful. Watching Tagawa prepare the food was fascinating. Thank you for this amazing experience!

My fiancé and I tried kaiseki for the first time at Tagawa and it was an amazing and u forgettable experience. The intricacies of each dish and the friendliness of the chef and sous-chefs were incredible. Each dish not only tasted incredible but was also plated to perfection. Would highly recommend anyone interested in experiencing kaiseki cuisine to make a reservation at Tagawa.

Be prepared to leave stuffed!! They give you so much food, and delicious too. A really high value kaiseki with premium ingredients and well worth the cost. Staff are friendly and very skilled. My favorite by far was the seasonal sansho flower wagyu shabu - it was so good. They even gave us the option to have a second serving. Will come back.

Tagawa is one of the highest rated kaiseki places on Tabelog, and for good reason. Each dish is meticulously prepared and arranged on beautiful dishware, and you can really admire the chefs' knife work. Special shoutout to Nick who did a lovely job explaining each dish and the cultural context behind the ingredients!

An open- kitchen style Washoku restaurant. When you seat, you can feel tender warmness on your foot with floor heating system. Foods are amusing and you'll see ingredients you'll going to have, and how they are cooked, and how they are treated. Many seasonal plates make you feel a season. The way to washroom is notable from my experience. The small path and a small garden besides. You'll see and taste you're in Japan, Kyoto. Highly recommended. Note! You better be very hungry stervin before visit here. Otherwise you may not be able to finish all dishes!!

This was my first Kaiseki experience and it was incredibly memorable. The chefs were talented and knowledgable, and one of the sous-chefs did an excellent job translating the dishes into English which allowed us to experience a local meal on a deeper level. I enjoyed every dish and some of my favorite dishes were made with ingredients that I don’t normally like. I have no complaints about the meal and would recommend it to anybody looking for a memorable evening

Chef was very funny and most importantly, enthusiastic. Quality of ingredients were fresh and of the highest quality. Did it taste mind-blowing? No. However, the experience and seeing chef demonstrate perfect precision in cooking and ingredients were worth the experience. Service was also impeccable.

Open kitchen washoku restaurant. Friendly and warm service with only 10 seats. Wonderful experience and great food. But don’t quite understand why they are using those cheap disposable chopsticks in such an high end restaurant.

One star Michelin Japanese kaiseki. One-set multiple course menu. One of the best one star Michelin restaurant I've ever been. 10 seats, amazing food, friendly service. Strongly recommended.
