Authentic Sushi Kaiseki Cuisine with

Chef. Migaku Inaba

Migaku specializes in authentic Japanese “Sushi” and “Kaiseki” cuisine, served in the traditional “Omakase” style. Grand Opening on December 23rd 2024 in Seattle, WA, by a Japanese chef, Migaku has quickly distinguished itself in the culinary world.

Chef Migaku Inaba is renowned for his profound dedication to the art of Japanese cuisine. His culinary journey began in the picturesque settings of Shizuoka, where he was deeply influenced by the rich natural resources and the culinary heritage of the region. After honing his skills at the esteemed hotel Kiyomizu, Chef Inaba received the prestigious “Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Award,” a testament to his skill and innovation in the kitchen. Please come on in and enjoy our Japanese dining journey.

What is Kaiseki?

Sushi Image

Kaiseki is a structured, multi-course Japanese dinner known for its attention to detail in preparation, presentation, and only using ingredients in season.

The dinner includes various dishes, all designed to help the true flavors of nature become apparent in the ingredients and the chef’s artistic expression.

So Kaiseki meals are, perhaps, as much “art” as “food”—solidly based in the old traditions and sensibilities of Japanese culture and taste, they embody the beauty of the seasons, a sense of place, and an eye for detail that’s of a piece with Zen.

How the courses should be served is also a matter of taste and, of course, wholly depends on the time of the year and what thoughts occurred to those who worked on them.
