Kaiseki Room by Yamada

Kaiseki Room immerses guests in a fully sensory dining experience – from the design of the intimate room, to the gracious style of service, and the thoughtful progression of the visually mesmerizing, meticulously prepared tasting menu, inspired by the traditional zen tea ceremony. The design of Kaiseki Room is inspired by the calm, thoughtful nature of the zen Japanese tea ceremony. Upon entering, guests are immediately transported to another place, far from the bustle of the busy midtown neighborhood. Undulating carved woods hug the edges of the room, at once gently sloping and soaring, making guests feel protected and welcomed in this highly unique space. Chef Yamada calls on his many years of experience preparing traditional kaiseki cuisine to constantly reinvent his seasonal dishes with contemporary preparations, presentations and techniques, ensuring that guests always have a most unique experience. His signature dishes – donabe rice and hassun – undergo exciting evolution as he seeks to source and showcase the finest ingredients at the peak of their freshness.
