“Kaiseki shows seasonality like no other.

- Chef Masaya Shirai
Our dishes reflect the beauty of Japanese cuisine with a touch of NYC.
Kaiseki is known as the quintessence of Japanese fine dining, and Chef Shirai has been making contributions to bringing Kaiseki to people in Japan and New York City.
Towa means “making something together” in ancient Japanese “Yamato Kotoba”, and we offer authentic Japanese comfort food in a casual, low-key ambiance.
Our innovative dishes incorporate fresh seasonal ingredients. With our chefs’ interpretations of the season's finest flavors, textures, and presentations, you get to experience a new kind of Japanese cuisine.
Nature and seasons are highlighted through flavor, texture, and presentations of our seasonally driven menu. We apply various cooking techniques and minimal seasoning to bring out the natural umami of fresh ingredients.
Come for an exquisite taste of Japanese cuisine, and take a mini trip to a fine restaurant in Japan.
Made with fresh, high-quality seasonal ingredients.
