Description

Japanese cuisine in a small restaurant with a minimalist mood echoed in its cooking. Here, young chef Satoshi Hazama offers – in addition to the à la carte menu – a 7‑course Kaiseki journey or a 4‑course tasting menu. Kaiseki cuisine employs five fundamental techniques applied to seasonal ingredients: raw, grilled, fried, boiled, and steamed, in a crescendo of intensity that showcases Japanese haute cuisine (advance reservation required).

Review summary

Hazama in Milan offers classic Japanese cuisine led by a Japanese chef. Positive reviews highlight authentic kaiseki menus, fresh ingredients, and a quiet, cozy atmosphere. However, negative feedback points to significant issues with service organization and communication barriers. Many diners report excessively long meal durations, sometimes exceeding three hours, due to slow pacing. Some critics find the ambiance too quiet with annoying music and question the value for money, noting that not all dishes met expectations regarding freshness or cooking style. While food quality receives praise from some, others describe it as standard or disappointing. Service efficiency and wait times remain the primary concerns among reviewers.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking authentic kaiseki who can tolerate longer meal durations.
