While Kappo Takashi isn’t a newcomer to the city’s dining scene, its recent move to Soi Sukhumvit 38 has breathed new life into its renowned omakase experience. For those unfamiliar with the term, Kappo is a more approachable take on traditional Kaiseki culture. Diners are seated at a counter to enjoy the theatrical skill of the chef, who interacts with guests throughout the meal to explain each course and cater to their preferences. Imagine the intimacy of a high-end omakase with the relaxed, conversational soul of an izakaya—that is exactly what you’ll find here.

The standout experience at the new location is the nine-course Kaiseki set (B4,500++). The menu is a showcase of seasonal Japanese fish prepared in a variety of styles, but the true highlight is the somen course—a refreshing dish topped with rich uni and a cold, creamy dressing. By focusing on premium seasonal ingredients and elevating them with creative techniques, Kappo Takashi has solidified its place as a must-visit for anyone looking for a meal that is as entertaining as it is delicious.
