Nikko Kanaya Hotel Main Dining Room

  • July 24, 2004
  • Rated 5 of 5 by samepenny from Fort Worth, Texas
This beautiful restaurant on the second floor of this fine, ancient hotel is a wonderful experience if you have both time and money. We were a bit too eager to get out to the shrines to sit through an over 2-hour long lunch. Well, sit we did as course after course arrived. We started with classic Japanese corn chowder soup, then had a whole fish, a main course of chicken under a red sauce, a vegetable/ salad course and finally tea and dessert.

A fixed price, fixed menu meal is not uncommon in small hotels. Most of it was very good, if a little closer to realistic in ingredients than I prefer. The whole fish, recently quite alive, was too much for me and I passed it over to a friend.

Very elegant service with an expensive and extensive wine and beer list. It would be very easy to spend more for wine and beer than you did for the meal if you didn't keep track of how much you were drinking.

This restaurant's motto is "Character, Courtesy, Calmness, Comfort and Cuisine". A real classic hotel and restaurant. History on your plate, on the walls and out the windows.
