Kazaguruma Japanese Dining

With no exaggeration, Kazaguruma sets the highest standard in Wellington for Japanese cuisine. Each dish’s flavour and aesthetics are prepared with stunning precision. I’ve been a fan of both their lunch and dinner offerings. A _must_ stop and remember to call in to reserve!

We had the UMAMI premium seafood “omakase” four course dinner $90). The service was efficient, courteous and thoughtful. The seafood was so fresh! I enjoyed all courses, particularly the fresh and quality ingredients in the chirashi sushi salad, which featured sea urchin, fresh wasabi and the most tender sashimi slices. The Ora king salmon was so soft and flavourful, the perfect note on which to end a delicious degustation. The amount was perfect, and I left feeling satisfied, tastebuds stimulated but not heavy.

Excellent food and service ! We had Umami set menu and sake pairing menu. Very very pleased with out selection. The Umami menu included 4 different dishes. It began with a beautifully served tempura oyster. The oyster was divine. It had white tobiko looking like little pearls! Very pretty and yummy. The second dish was Chirashi sushi salad. It was a total explosion of flavors ! Soooo delicious

I have been meaning to try this new Japanese restaurant for a while. We had the set menu. The sashimi and sushi were amazing. The highlight was the silken tofu in broth. They also had very good desert options and wide variety of wines, beers and sake. I will be back.

Delicious from start to finish. And we did the saki pairing to make it even better. If you love the food of Japan this is the best place to go. We did the introductory set menu and there wasn’t a dish we didn’t like there were four of us. Delicate sashimi and sushi. Lovely karage chicken. Great piece of beefNext time (and there will be a next time) we’ll do the whole hog (it’s not called that). You have to book.
