The blowfish is really what made this meal for me. Also from my experiences Kyoto kaiseki has more courses in general for a longer experience. Good point about Okinawa; I hadn't thought about that.

Thanks for the recommendation on Onodera Kagurazaka. I'll be back in Tokyo later this year and hope to try it then. Hi Jon — The plates were really beautiful.

I'm not that fond of kaiseki, in general, but the seafood does sound inticing. About the mango, it's actually possible the mango was from Japan--they grow them in Okinawa (and maybe southern Kyushu, too). They look more like Mexican mangoes, to me--rounder and more reddish skin than Thai or Filipino mangoes. As a kaiseki experience, how does it compare with Kyoto kaiseki (if you’ve tried it)?

I didn't even know about it until I went by on a random walk through this neighborhood a few weeks ago. It looks really magnificent in a very formal wedding/banquet way. That lid at the end (from the soup?) is awesome. If you liked this, I really have to recommend another place that I recently re-visited and loved (again). More casual, but I suspect the food is better, and I'd love to see foreign guests try it.
