Xinyi District, Taipei City｜Cao Cuisine

Good. I have no reservations saying this. My caveat is towards any who are expecting a kappo kaiseki. This isn't what they are holding themselves out to be. It is different. We were very happy with the quality of the produce and the techniques which brought out the natural flavors but in perhaps what is a Taiwanese slant rather than a "pure" Japanese style. But we're in Taiwan! For example, the grilled fish collar was served with an interesting 5 spice power. We enjoyed that. Doesn't matter if it might be frowned upon by a "pure" Japanese Chef. The goma foam is also a welcomed twist to the usual goma sauce. Well put together. We would certainly hit this place again the next time we're in the Republic of China.

My second visit after a few years. The restaurant is now twice as the size, but with the same warmth in their service. Terrific omakase for the price as always!

High CP value and delicious
