Chef Migaku Inaba is renowned for his profound dedication to the art of Japanese cuisine. His culinary journey began in the picturesque settings of Shizuoka, where he was deeply influenced by the rich natural resources and the culinary heritage of the region.

Every single piece of the course was incredibly authentic Japanese from the ingredients and flavoring to the demonstration. I'm from Japan and completely felt I was eating back in Japan.

We had an unbelievable experience at Migaku. We did the seasonal kaiseki and the food was outstanding. The settings, attention to detail and service were all impeccable. It’s a very small and intimate place. Very quiet. An absolute hidden gem in Ballard. Don’t let the size or location fool you. It’s a great experience and well worth the price.
