MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
One Star: High quality cooking
The draw of Kako Okamoto is fine sake and prized delicacies. Appetisers are served not on a platter but one by one, freshly cooked, to complement the beverage. Spicy pilchard stew with finely chopped bonito flakes keeps the drinks going down easy. The owner-chef, who loves sake above all other drinks, offers pours from an isshobin (1.8 L bottle of sake) as if introducing his own child. Sake can also be ordered by the cup for a fun sake-tasting experience.
