Chef Kazuhiro Hamamoto has been perfecting his craft for over 20 years, drawing inspiration from his experiences in Kyoto, Tokyo, and Singapore. His 12-seat sushi-kappo restaurant, Hamamoto, is the realization of his long-held vision to partner with friends and artisans across Japan, united in the spirit of harmony and connection.
The purposefully sparse design of Hamamoto accentuates the simplicity of Chef Kazu's cuisine. Guests dine at the 12-seat brushed hinoki counter, which is specifically carved to encourage interaction amongst guests, creating a sense of community. The cuisine at Hamamoto combines the art of sushi and kaiseki, with a focus on seasonal produce sourced from select vendors in Tokyo and Fukuoka. Chef Kazu believes that food replenishes the soul, and his dishes reflect this philosophy to ultimately transport guests to Japan.
