MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

One Star: High quality cooking

Kenzo Tsujimoto's Napa Valley temple of traditional Japanese cuisine is a place to wash away worldly cares. Designed by his wife Natsuko, this 25-seat space is serene and minimal.The best seats are at the long counter, where diners can chat with the chefs and watch their meal being prepared. The kaiseki experience is beautifully composed, elegantly paced and may feature dishes such as lotus root dumpling topped with crispy oita icefish owan or Alaskan black cod with sancho pepper. Desserts, like their matcha ice cream topped with sliced strawberries or baked apples with cream cheese frosting and cinnamon, end the meal on a sweet note. While the sake variety is extraordinary, Kenzo Estate’s own Napa-grown wines are also available by the flight.
