Located on the 21st floor of the Pangu Seven Star Hotel in Beijing, Kyoto Kaiseki Hanaden Japanese Restaurant was once the only overseas branch of the "Kyoto's No. 1 Japanese Restaurant" Miyoshi, and the restaurant's per capita price from 3,000 yuan became the most expensive Japanese restaurant in Beijing at that time. However, the good times were short-lived, and Pangu Seven Star Hotel's Mei Bang Ji closed in October 2014. It was not until around March 2017 that it reopened and changed its name to Kyoto Kaiseki Hanaden, and although there was a certain adjustment in price, it is still one of the top high-cost restaurants in Beijing. Considering that the store has been closed for 2 years, it is judged by its stability and is slightly lower.
The designer of Kyoto Kaiseki Hanaden Japanese Restaurant is Takashi Imakori, the first architect in Japan and the designer of the Tokyo Sumo Kokugikan. The restaurant has a total of 8 Japanese-style private rooms, and each box has a view of the city from the window, and it is located on the 21st floor of the hotel, with a relatively wide view. The decorations in the restaurant are also brought back from Japan. Kyoto Kaiseki Hanaden Japanese Restaurant specializes in Kyoto kaiseki cuisine, which almost follows the previous business method of Miyoshi, all the ingredients are flown in from Japan, and even the water source comes from Japan. In order to create an all-Japanese atmosphere, the waiters at the restaurant are all Japanese, and most of them are international students in Beijing, so they can communicate in Chinese.
As a Japanese restaurant that prides itself on high-end cuisine, the quality of the ingredients is naturally good. Imported top-quality beef, the snowflakes are evenly distributed, and the meat quality is very good; The processing and slicing of the sashimi are also very good; The mustard served is freshly ground from fresh wasabi, which is not too spicy and has a slightly sweet taste; The yokan served with tea is also very traditional Japanese, with a delicate taste and moderate sweetness. In addition, you can enjoy the top ingredients while enjoying tea ceremony and ikebana performances. These traditional Japanese elements that you won't find at other Japanese restaurants can be experienced at Hanaden Japanese Restaurant.
After the reopening, the restaurant has adjusted the minimum cost of the set menu to 1,000 yuan, but only serves the slightly lower-priced kaiseki set menu during lunch hours. Hanaden's kaiseki cuisine includes aperitifs, appetizers, soups, seafood, grilled dishes, steamed dishes, fried dishes, rice, fruits, desserts, and matcha, and the types and quantities of ingredients vary depending on the price range. Meals at the restaurant are based on set menus, and if the set menu is not enough, you can order some dishes. You can bring your own drinks, but a corkage fee of 300 yuan will be charged. There are four stalls of 1000, 2000, 3000 and 5000 for the lunch set. Dinner is only available for 3000 and 5000 stalls.
