Description

The interior follows Japanese tradition with pale wood, warm lighting and fabric-wrapped panels. Niigata rice is seasoned with three vinegars, including akazu that gives depth and umami. The owner also imports sake and the list changes constantly to match the seasonal ingredients available. This relaxed sushi spot also serves cooked dishes if pre-ordered. Note that it is not related in any way to its namesake in Tokyo.

Review summary

Kitcho, a Michelin-starred sushi restaurant, is praised for its fresh ingredients and immersive counter-side dining experience. Reviewers highlight exceptional dishes like tamagoyaki and scallop liver, appreciating the chef's professionalism and authenticity. However, criticisms focus on inconsistent service and value. Some guests noted that lunch menus offer little difference from premium options, with limited cooked choices and reduced portions for non-raw eaters. Additional complaints cite poor staff attitude, environmental oversights like cobwebs, and confusion regarding reservation discounts. While the food quality is generally high, the service experience varies significantly. This venue suits diners seeking traditional Edo-style sushi who prioritize culinary craftsmanship over consistent service standards.
