At the Grand Hyatt’s Kaetsu, classic Japanese cuisine meets fastidious design and meticulous attention to detail: a meal here is elevated into a minor ceremony, supported by everything from the beautiful bamboo and stone finishes to the elegant ceramic tableware. Classic Japanese accents meet contemporary lines, and the space is presided over by a lovely open sushi counter, easily the best seat in the house where you get to watch chefs work slabs of Tsukiji-fresh fish into delicate morsels.

Of course the highlight here is the food, featuring a classic Japanese profile across the cuisine’s different categories including sushi, sashimi, nimono, grilled meats, and teppanyaki. Whatever you choose, it comes elegantly presented at the table, like Grilled Japanese Beef served on a crisp houba leaf, studded with mushrooms, peppers, and a rich miso gravy, or fresh seafood brewed in a light dashi broth, presented to the table in a hand-painted ceramic teapot, rich with the flavours of shrimp, bream, mushrooms, and ginko nuts. A treat for the tastebuds and the eyes, Kaetsu is an elegant solution to your Japanese cravings. (Jan 2017)
