Kaiseki Ogi serves traditional Japanese cooking that follows the seasons. One of their specialties are grilled steaks prepared with wagyu beef. In contrast to many kaiseki restaurants where you can only order the set menu of the day, Kaiseki Ogi also offers the option of ordering individually. On Saturdays they offer a cheaper set menu for families.
