Seki Hanare
Head off the beaten path to this warm, sophisticated Michelin Bib Gourmand kaiseki restaurant in residential Setagaya.
Restaurant Details
It’s rare for a kaiseki restaurant to have a Michelin Bib Gourmand accolade, but that’s only one of the reasons behind Seki Hanare’s standout reputation. Billing itself as a food hideaway for adults, Seki Hanare’s warm wood interior reflects owner-chef Kawakubo Satoshi’s love of antiques, adding a homey and rustic vibe.
Pesticide-free vegetables are sourced from the Kobuchizawa region in Yamanashi Prefecture, a familiar name throughout Japan for its equestrian and agricultural history. Chef Kawakubo decides the specifics of the omakase course on the day of to reflect his wishes for guests to enjoy the freshest ingredients possible. He also offers a lighter, slightly abbreviated omakase course for those with smaller appetites.
Guests will appreciate the extensive selection of Japanese wine, sake, shochu, and craft beer, including a wide variety of sake from Fukuoka Prefecture — a region that Chef Kawakubo has a particularly soft spot for. With more than 25 years of experience working closely with the local wine and sake industry, Chef Kawakubo is more than happy to recommend pairing options for each dish.
Counter dining offers an intimate view of the chef at work. The second floor can also be reserved for up to eight people, perfect for small parties.
