Chef-led omakase
Japanese Dining
Fifteen chef-selected courses: sashimi, warm-shari sushi and cooked washoku.
Japanese Dining centres on a fifteen-course omakase. The chef selects the meal around the day’s ingredients, with no fixed menu. Sashimi with Kasen’s own accompaniments is followed by sushi and cooked washoku.
Kim Chu, from Los Angeles, leads Kasen’s ten-seat counter. Read about Kasen’s roots at Hiko Sushi in Los Angeles.
Watch each course take shape at the counter, or choose the private room for a gathering of 2–12 guests.

Lunch and dinner
Japanese dining, at lunch or dinner.
Kasen opens daily at 10:30, with afternoon dining as well as dinner. Choose your arrival time; the fifteen-course meal takes about 1–1.5 hours.
The Kasen progression
Otsumami, sashimi, sushi and cooked courses.
Otsumami appetizers open the meal, followed by sashimi. Kasen’s aged halibut with seasonal truffles illustrates the approach: controlled aging softens the fish and concentrates its flavour; truffles add fragrance, texture and umami.
Sushi follows. Soft, delicate fish meets warm, distinctly seasoned shari.
Cooked washoku courses close the meal. In Kasen’s A5 Miyazaki beef preparation, the beef is grilled medium rare and served with a house-made rice-vinegar and Korean chilli sauce, fried leek greens and pickled wasabi stem. Gentle acidity tempers the beef’s richness.
These dishes show Kasen’s cooking, rather than a fixed menu. Explore the sake and wines personally selected by the chef alongside the meal.
Counter or private room
Choose the setting for your meal.
The ten-seat counter is best for guests who want to watch each piece being made. The private room offers the same fifteen-course progression in a closed setting for two to twelve guests; it is most comfortable for four to eight.
