About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
Kaiseki cuisine — the Japanese tradition of intricate, refined small plates — has origins that can be traced back more than seven hundred years. It was an artful embodiment of innovation then, and we aim to bring that same ingenuity and inspiration to our guests in this modern era. We are committed to an authentic expression of kaiseki, featuring the most exceptional seasonal and sustainable ingredients from the Boston region.

*Due to high volume of requests with food restrictions for the kaiseki tasting course, and nature of authentic kaiseki that has seafood, vegetables, meat, egg, and shoyu – soy sauce, we set up course options to provide better experience to all guests.

For kaiseki tastings please book through our website only.

    the Kama Lounge was oddly quiet and everyone was directed up there without a further direction. Sushi was delicious, but the value was incredibly lacking for the lack of ambiance.

    Did you find a black visa on the second floor in the long booth? I think it fell out of my pocket. Name on it is Mary Chalifour.

    The place is beautiful, and the food very good. We went for lunch, so I can't quite comment on their famous omakases (I hope to be back to check out those). The service was a bit of a disaster... very slow and not very attentive to our requests. And unfortunately I have also to say that the lunch is terribly overpriced. There are a few Japanese options in downtown, and while this is definitely on the upper end in terms of quality, it is not an everyday work lunch spot.

    Kamakura is a terrific experience. Food is exceptional and the service matches. Everyone is super friendly. Great vibe on the roof top and the cocktail list is filled with fun drinks.

    Food was overpriced/Not on par with Japanese restaurants of similar price point. The service was extremely slow, we had to wait >15 minutes after we finish with one dish, before we can get the next.
