Good for special occasions
Fancy
Great for fine wines

Kenzo Napa, presented by proprietors Kenzo and Natsuko Tsujimoto, is an exceptional, authentic Japanese restaurant featuring a traditional prix fixe kaiseki menu designed by Chef Kenji Miyaishi, located in downtown Napa.

OpenTable allows reservations only 30 days in advance. For long-range planning: reservations@kenzonapa.com. Note that less than 24 hours' notice for cancellation will result in a $200 cancellation fee.

The fusion of Japanese tradition with innovative techniques and presentation is sure to transform all perceptions of Japanese cuisine. Edomae sushi and kaiseki delicacies are created with seafood selections flown in from acclaimed markets in Japan. Every dish is expertly paired with the Kenzo Estate wine collection as an option, along with a selection of fine wines, Japanese sakes and beer in a peaceful environment where the focus is on chef preparation and cuisine.

Kenzo is the proud recipient of 7 consecutive Michelin Star awards, noted for sake and wine lists.

Phenomenal. Period dot. Highly recommend Kenzo. First third accompanied by Kenzo’s Sauv Blanc, middle third by a glass of junmai daijingo sake, last third by a glass of Kenzo Rindo (Bordeaux-inspired blend). They also poured us some complimentary sake with the sushimi course and a glass of late harvest sauv blanc with dessert. Superior attention to detail with every dish.

This is one of our favorite restaurants. They hit all the right notes. The service is impeccable and the food is over the top. The chefs from Japan put together flavors that meld so nicely and put a burst of flavor in your mouth. The fish is always fresh and the waygu beef melts in your mouth because it is so tender. They deserve their Michelin star.

I wanted so badly to love this place. I took my sister here for her first Michelin Star experience. It was entirely disappointing. The flavors were underwhelming, the plating wasn’t appealing and not what I would expect from a multi-star awarded restaurant that charges $200 per person. Seriously, not one bite that was placed in front of us would knock your socks off, so I honestly don’t get it. Would I come back? Obviously not. Is it worth the experience? No. There are so many other omakase sushi restaurants that put this place to shame. Don’t waste your time or money. I will say the staff and service were great and we appreciated that.

This is our favorite Japanese restaurant outside of Japan. It never disappoints and is such a special Place that remains true to traditional Japanese kaiseki style.
