割烹 かねこ
Founded in 1930, Kappo Kaneko is a long-established Japanese restaurant tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood near the University of Tokyo, with dining in fully private rooms. Guests enjoy a seasonal kaiseki course built from carefully prepared ingredients, from a striking opening dish of seafood cocktail featuring bluefin tuna and sea urchin to claypot rice with crab and seri (Japanese wild parsley). The kitchen is known for the clarity and balance of its dashi (savory Japanese broth), and its suggested sake pairings matched to each dish are also well received. Because the calm private rooms, hung with traditional scrolls, invite unhurried dining, this is a place chosen for special occasions such as business entertaining and anniversaries.
