Kaiseki is a form of Japanese cooking that draws its philosophy from tea ceremony traditions in 16th-century Kyoto. At its core is the belief that we are at our best when we experience every moment with one another as if it were a once-in-a-lifetime gathering. As a culinary expression, it is a reflection of the season—an intricate rhythm of taste and texture brought forth in a progression of courses. Kaiseki Furukawa’s founding chef/co-owner, Shigeyuki Furukawa, was born in Japan and became a Kaiseki chef in Tokyo. He then moved to Kyoto, so he could work directly with master Kaiseki chefs to cultivate a still deeper understanding of the cuisine. It has been his lifelong dream to bring the pure form of this cooking to his own restaurant.
Sophisticated choice for kaiseki (multicourse) Japanese dining in airy, intimate surrounds.

An absolute superb experience. We’ve gone to Kade No Mise a few times, but this was a special occasion. The dishes were composed of seasonal fresh ingredients with unique preparations that made even the more odd ingredients absolutely delicious. Be prepared that the focus is less on sushi and more seasonality, only one of the dishes was sushi for the month of October. A very rememberable dining experience and we’ll definitely be back.

Kaiseki is more then a meal. It’s an experience. It’s history. It’s culture. It’s based in seasonal ingredients and valuing simplicity. Simplicity that relates back to Japanese tea ceremony. Wabi sabi. I appreciated the teas served alongside the meal and the sake pairing was fantastic. Heads up on the sake pairing, it’s a lot of sake so don’t do like we did and order a drink before that. The staff is fantastic and very friendly. Just like with Japanese Tea Ceremony remember ‘ichi go icho e’.

It is hard to put into words the amazing experience that we had here at Kaiseki Furukawa in Minneapolis. This was the single best meal we have ever had in our lives. It was an honor to dine with Shigeyuki Furukawa and his team. Our minds were blown by the quality of ingredients and the thought and care that went into the design of each item on the 10+ course menu. We also had a sake pairing that added another element throughout. This restaurant is truly a world class gem and we are lucky to have it here here in Twin Cities.

Food and service was AMAZING. Reservations needed ahead of time along with pre-payment. It was about $160/person. Additional $80 for drink pairing (highly recommend). Food was delicious and well plated. I didn’t think I was going to be full from a tasting menu but by the end of it, I was surprisingly full and satisfied. The menu changes monthly as the chef uses ingredients that is in season. Expensive but well worth it. Will definitely be returning.

Let me begin with saying if there was a higher rating than 5 stars, I would give it more than that.
We came here for our first year anniversary and were not disappointed. The flavors and the presentation of the dishes were reminiscent of summer. For example, one of the bowls had a top that when you turned it over…. there was a painting of fireworks on the surface of the bowl. One of my favorites was the salt grilled fish, it reminded me of something we eat within our culture.
Everything seemed personalized. The menu had a “happy anniversary” message on there and at the end of our meal, we had a Polaroid picture taken of us. On top of that, with leftover rice from one of our meals… They made onigiri!
It was also heartwarming to see the owner’s eyes beam with passion as he described more about the dishes to my girlfriend in Japanese. It feels like to me that there is a lot of heart that went into the dishes and a lot of attention to the small details shows that. After the meal, the owner presented us his business card and told us about how the business card was made (which was very interesting).
I’ve been to some nice places around here but this was truly a different experience that I don’t think I could get anywhere around here. Chef Furukawa, thank you for the meal and I look forward to taking my Grandma here one day .

Amazing service and ambiance. We’ve eaten at a lot of eclectic international places, and like to try new dishes. My wife and I felt the food here lacked a presence and flavor range we’d expect from a 10-course menu. Lots of very similar stewed vegetables, gelatin-based dishes, etc. Perhaps the onus is on us to appreciate a very traditional menu, but we definitely felt that, objectively, the food lacked flavors.

One of the best course meals I’ve had in the Twin Cities. Everything was perfection. The course order was constructed well and the pairings were spot on. If you’re looking for a nice night out this is the place, I highly recommend trying it for yourself.

Our evening at Kaiser Furukawa was perfect. Everyone on staff — incredible, friendly, and knowledgable. The food — thoughtful, surprising, and delicious. So much attention was given to the little details. I highly recommend having dinner here!

After falling in love with kaiseki cuisine on my trips to Japan, I was overjoyed when I learned of a restaurant opening up in Minneapolis. The food is elegantly presented and the seasonal ingredients are delicious. I am fondly remembering the Hassun course for the traditional Osechi New Years foods eaten in Japan for good luck in the upcoming year. Many people might be confused by this food and the way it is presented but the way the Japanese prepare and present food is very different from Americans. Yes, it is pricey compared to most other restaurants but that is entirely due to the fact that 80% of this menu had to be imported from Japan. Authentic Japanese food is so hard to find in the Midwest and this rare gem is so appreciated. I encourage everyone to give it a try if they can and to keep an open mind. You may not love everything but I promise you will find something that will surprise and delight you!

Wow. My favorite dining experience I’ve had. I have been to Japan 3 times and this food had a very authentic flavor. We had a total of 10 courses. A few came with tea which paired really well. Even though these were small plates, we were quite full after all of the courses. One included a good amount of rice; they bagged up our leftover rice and made Onigiri with it.
