MK Guide Recommends
Tucked into a residential lane in Kusatsu, Kogetsu is a discreet, reservation-only kaiseki restaurant offering seasonal Japanese cuisine in an understated, elegant setting. Each dish is composed with visual poetry and regional sensitivity—drawing from Lake Biwa’s bounty, Kyoto-style technique, and seasonal produce presented in ceramic, lacquer, and stoneware. The atmosphere is hushed and personal, with private rooms and a strong focus on omotenashi. Diners are welcomed not just with a meal, but with a moment—deliberate, graceful, and balanced. Ideal for special occasions or those seeking the deeper rhythms of Japanese cuisine.
