Ganko Takasegawa Nijo-en

Friends who love seafood sashimi can check out this restaurant called Ganko Takasegawa Nijoen. Their king crab is quite fresh. Although it is expensive, it is worth a try.

There are many tour groups that come here to eat group meals, probably tens of thousands of yuan. The Kaiseki cuisine here can only be said to look like Kaiseki cuisine, but it does not have the essence of Kaiseki cuisine. It is just a set meal, without that kind of exquisite feeling.

The restaurant has a large courtyard with rockeries, flowing water, stone lanterns, pavilions and towers, forming a unique place with scenery no less than those of large temples. Each private room also has its own independent courtyard, which is small and exquisite and full of fun. The cuisine is equally exquisite. The sashimi is very fresh, with wasabi paste, which melts in your mouth without any effort; the tempura is fried to be almost transparent, and no oil drips on the oil-absorbing paper; the space beauty created by the tableware, seats, garden, hanging scrolls and vases has created what the Japanese call "the essence of Japanese cuisine - tea kaiseki cuisine."

It's perfect for end-of-year family gatherings and company farewell parties. It's a large, old Japanese-style building with a pond and a very relaxing atmosphere. You can eat in a tatami room, sitting on low chairs rather than in a seiza position. The food is beautifully presented and includes standard Japanese dishes such as sushi, small hotpots, and tempura, as well as alcoholic beverages. The staff are very attentive and helpful. You take off your shoes at the entrance, and the staff will hand you a shoe number tag to make sure you don't put the wrong shoes on when you leave.
