at Hayato
"The kaiseki tasting menu at Hayato is a seasonal document. Chef Hayato takes reservations for a reason — the menu is determined by what is available at the fish market on the day of your reservation. The 20 courses represent a calendar of Japanese culinary culture, executed with the patience that makes Tokyo kaiseki famous."

"The kitchen at Hayato is Japanese-led, which means the technique is authentically Tokyo-influenced. The progression from appetizer to soup to sashimi to cooked courses follows the kaiseki structure. The seasonal ingredients are presented at their peak. This is the food that justifies the reservation window."
