Tsukihitei
Tsukihitei Review
Deep in the forest behind Kasuga Taisha, Tsukihitei has the perfect setting for kaiseki. From the walk up a wooded path to the tranquillity of your own tatami room, everything is conducive to experiencing the beautiful presentation and delicate flavors—as Hellen Keller did when she dined at Tsukihitei in 1948. When reserving a table, enlist the help of a good Japanese speaker to select a set meal for you, and allow yourself to be regaled. The lunch sets cost between ¥10,000 and ¥15,000, not exactly cheap but cheaper than dinner.
