KAISHIN is an intimate omakase experience inspired by “海心” — the heart of the ocean.
We believe in a purist and traditional approach to omakase, prioritizing freshness and quality above all else. Every course is prepared with discipline and intention, allowing the natural character of each ingredient to speak for itself. With limited seating and a minimalist setting, KAISHIN provides a refined dining experience where guests can enjoy a view of the chef’s work and the ingredients used.
We invite you to discover a thoughtful approach to Japanese dining — where simplicity meets sophistication and every dish tells a story of the sea.
Chef Kei, of Japanese and Korean heritage, has spent nearly two decades honing a disciplined and traditional approach to Japanese cuisine. His passion began at his father’s restaurant, Sushiman, where early exposure to the kitchen shaped his commitment to craftsmanship.
Refined through years of training, including time at Shoushin, his dedication to Edomae (Tokyo-style) sushi emphasizes seasonality, purity, and precision. He believes that exceptional omakase comes from respecting each ingredient at its peak and allowing its natural character to shine without unnecessary complexity.
At KAISHIN, Chef Kei presents a restrained and elegant style of omakase—delivering a dining experience that is elegant, meticulous, and deeply authentic.
