Chefs cook before your eyes at Kiyoishi Fresh spiny lobster cooked on a hot steel plate

At Teppanyaki Kiyoishi, we cook carefully selected local ingredients such as spiny lobster and Matsusaka beef before your very eyes. Get your fill of splendid dishes done to perfection by our chefs. We not only use local ingredients, but also specially chosen pottery to enhance the flavor of the food even more.

Because Kiyoishi is by reservation only, the chefs serve only a small number of guests so they can dine together in an enjoyable and genial way. The tatami seats with openings for guest’s legs let them unwind while steeped in a modern Japanese atmosphere.
