Sushi Kappo Tamura Opening Night

Had the chance to stop in at Sushi Kappo Tamura on their grand opening tonight.  This is the third venture for Kyoto-native Taichi Kitamura.  I wish I could tell you that all three of his restaurants are open, but the sad news is that Sushi Kappo Tamura is meant to replace Kappo while Chiso remains open.

Kappo was by far more than a restaurant, it was an experience that put you at the table with Taichi-san himself as he prepared a wonderful array of selections for you.

Sushi Kappo Tamura does not come close to Kappo, but it does make a Kappo-style experience available to more people in a larger space.  

UPDATE: As we left Tamura on Sunday we got a chance to talk to Taichi and congratulate him on the new place.  We did tell him that we were sad to hear Kappo was closed and he shared the best news!  He still has the space and said that he might have plans for it at some point.  Can't wait!
