Omotenashi

What is “Kaiseki” ?

Omotenashi

Kaiseki is a style of traditional Japanese cuisine served in a series of small and intricate dishes. Kaiseki consists of three important elements.

  1. seasonal ingredients
  2. simple seasoning
  3. present it with hospitality

Kaiseki cuisine has been developed in Japan based on Sado, a Japanese tea manner. It originated from Wabi-Sabi, a kind of Japanese cultural spirit. Mostly, the Kaiseki dishes are small and simple, but each taste is established with very special and skilled techniques.

Eigikutei strives to improve ourselves every day, taking the smiles of our customers as our joy. Please enjoy the sensitive and beautiful kaiseki cuisine course, full of seasonal seafoods and vegetables to your heart’s content.

Japanese Hospitality, “OMOTENASHI”

Eigikutei focuses on the traditional Japanese style to serve both Japanese dishes and services in a perfect Japanese atmosphere. This is called ”Omotenashi” in Japanese, meaning hospitality focusing on perfect care for all guests. Also, our servers wear Kimono, a Japanese traditional dress, showing their hospitality to all guests.

Our Commitment to Ingredients with “UMAMI”

Eigikutei uses selected ingredients our chefs choose with their professional eyes. Our chefs control “UMAMI”, a source of tastes and flavors to create simple but deep dishes.

Some of the fish are imported from Japan directly. We also use seasonal live fish distributed locally. Regarding beef, we use A5 Miyazaki beef for shabu-shabu.

Every dish is harmonized with our dashi broth and UMAMI developed with our long-time experience and special techniques.

Japanese Sake and Wines Good for Kaiseki

Also, we select wines and sparkling wines that go well with Japanese cuisine. In our wine selection, we offer Japanese wine coming from Koshu Yamanashi Japan as well.

I wanted to share my thoughts on the restaurant we visited during Dine LA week. Overall, I would rate the experience an 8/10. The restaurant was spacious and clean, with an authentic Japanese atmosphere. For the food, we tried all three options from the Dine LA menu. The Omakase sushi and A5 Wagyu Sukiyaki were the highlights. While the beef shabu was good, the first two options were better in terms of both taste and value.

I came with a group of 4 for the Dine LA meal. 2 Omakase Sushi sets, 1 Sukiyaki, 1 Shabu Shabu. All our meals came out at different times and at 1 point, 3 of us were watching the 1 person basically finish their whole meal. The value unfortunately was not there as I do feel like I can get the same if not better quality sushi at Sugarfish and the verdict on the sukiyaki and Shabu Shabu is that it lacked seasoning/flavor.

I've visited this restaurant four times now, and the experience has consistently been great. The food and service quality are excellent, and the staff is incredibly accommodating. When one of us mentioned not eating raw fish, they prepared several complimentary cooked dishes to ensure we left satisfied. While I have noticed that portion sizes seem slightly smaller than before, I still left feeling full. The kaiseki and shabu are must-tries, and I am already looking forward to returning for their sukiyaki.

I loved my experience with Eigikutei. The atmosphere is nice and the food is great. You can really tell the experience from the sushi chef. He said he worked for 40+ years as a sushi chef. Great experience! I would like to come back and try the shabu shabu experience.
