Hakone, Kanagawa, Japan｜Hakone Kappei

Small cozy shop, quite unassuming if you ask me. The food served I must say have met expectations. The couple working in the shop are friendly, and they do their best to accommodate foreigners, with their English menu. The quality of food exceeded expectations for this small shop and the food is reasonably priced. One would expect since they are located in a touristy area, the pricing would be off the charts. Would highly recommend dropping by if you are visiting the area. It is located right next to the open air museum.

A fantastic traditional Mom and Pop Sushi Place in the Hakone area; we had the pleasure of being seated at an off-peak time, and the food was terrific. I will reiterate the message from the restaurant, "don't waste the local resources (rice) if you are not going to be able to finish it." It takes a lot of hard work to put that on your table. Please respect these small business and their suppliers; that is the least you can do. Thank you for the beautiful experience and for allowing me to consume the excellent food offered here.

Hands down THE place to eat sushi in the Hakone area. I liked it so much the first time around that I traveled over an hour to go there again. Be prepared to wait at lunchtime. Big portions and excellent prices.
