About Kenzo Napa
Located in downtown Napa, Kenzo Napa is a premier destination for authentic Japanese kaiseki. Founded by Kenzo and Natsuko Tsujimoto of Kenzo Estate, the restaurant centers on the philosophy of "shun"—the art of enjoying ingredients at their absolute peak. Under the direction of Head Chef Kenji Miyaishi, the kitchen produces meticulously crafted multi-course menus that highlight seasonal delicacies sourced from both Japan and local Napa Valley farms. The atmosphere is one of refined elegance, embodying the Japanese spirit of omotenashi, or selfless hospitality. The intimate dining room offers a serene escape from the bustle of wine country, providing a sophisticated setting where guests can pair world-class Japanese cuisine with exclusive Kenzo Estate wines and premium sakes. As a consistent recipient of a Michelin star, it is a top-tier choice for gourmets seeking a transformative culinary experience in the region.
"Kenzo delivers an authentic and refined Kaiseki experience. The Seasonal Hassun (appetizer platter) was a beautiful highlight, showing off a variety of textures from the snap peas with bacon to the snow crab with caviar. You can tell the Chef pours immense care into the fundamentals; the dashi broth in the Owan course was world-class. Attentive service and a warm atmosphere made for a perfect Valentine’s celebration."
