Food and service was AMAZING. Reservations needed ahead of time along with pre-payment. It was about $160/person. Additional $80 for drink pairing (highly recommend). Food was delicious and well plated. I didn't think I was going to be full from a tasting menu but by the end of it, I was surprisingly full and satisfied. The menu changes monthly as the chef uses ingredients that is in season. Expensive but well worth it. Will definitely be returning.
One of the best course meals I've had in the Twin Cities. Everything was perfection. The course order was constructed well and the pairings were spot on. If you're looking for a nice night out this is the place, I highly recommend trying it for yourself.
Our evening at Kaiser Furukawa was perfect. Everyone on staff -- incredible, friendly, and knowledgable. The food -- thoughtful, surprising, and delicious. So much attention was given to the little details. I highly recommend having dinner here!
After falling in love with kaiseki cuisine on my trips to Japan, I was overjoyed when I learned of a restaurant opening up in Minneapolis. The food is elegantly presented and the seasonal ingredients are delicious. I am fondly remembering the Hassun course for the traditional Osechi New Years foods eaten in Japan for good luck in the upcoming year. Many people might be confused by this food and the way it is presented but the way the Japanese prepare and present food is very different from Americans. Yes, it is pricey compared to most other restaurants but that is entirely due to the fact that 80% of this menu had to be imported from Japan. Authentic Japanese food is so hard to find in the Midwest and this rare gem is so appreciated. I encourage everyone to give it a try if they can and to keep an open mind. You may not love everything but I promise you will find something that will surprise and delight you!
ありがとうございました、ふるかわ様。おいしいかった。ごちそうさまでした。
Wow. My favorite dining experience I've had. I have been to Japan 3 times and this food had a very authentic flavor. We had a total of 10 courses. A few came with tea which paired really well. Even though these were small plates, we were quite full after all of the courses. One included a good amount of rice; they bagged up our leftover rice and made Onigiri with it.
A one of a kind dining masterpiece that you can experience in Minneapolis, the only kaiseki restaurant in the Midwest! My husband and I decided to splurge on one of our date nights and were awed at each bite we took. There were so many unique flavors in each bite that worked in favor of one another. I still look back to this night dreaming of having those bites again! Looking forward to coming back.
Exceptional. Delicate, exquisite and immaculate. Seasonally changing, the kaiseki focused on elemental flavors of nature that can be subtle individually but profound in combination. This is a mature tasting menu unafraid of presenting an authentic palette that finally brings Japanese fine cuisine to Minneapolis. With every course not only were my senses delighted but also my body and mind as endorphines and parasympathetic responses took over putting me into a sublime state. Chef Shigeyuki Furikawa and his team are a treasure.
Experiencing the Japanese approach to flavors textures and presentation that is Kaiseki is one of life great pleasures. Each course was a subtle exploration of the ingredients, balanced so that none was lost and all were celebrated. We opted for the wine and sake pairing which added another layer of complexity, and finished the evening with a drink at the whisky bar which features a great selection of Japan’s best.
Such an amazing experience, both with the chefs and service, as well as with our fellow diners. I couldn't have asked for a more intimate yet communal dining adventure.
Go for the experience and food. You will not regret it AT ALL! Fine dining is meant to be savory and processed slowly with each bite. It's about the art and appreciation. By the end of the night, you'll find yourselves surprisingly stuffed.
