First Cicchetti, then Nettletown, and soon, Sushi Kappo Tamura. Eastlake is scoring major points as a dining destination.
Sushi Kappo Tamura is the new iteration of Kappo, that lauded, and since closed, Japanese hot spot situated above Fremont’s Chiso. Like Kappo, where the omakase (chef’s choice) menu fetched one C-note per person, Tamura will feature the sushi artistry of Taichi Kitamura.
Kitamura is opening the restaurant with Steve Tamura, who tells me the 50-seater will feature a full sushi bar. When the resto’s website first went up, it read: "Here I [Kitamura] will prepare everything in front of your eyes, and served[sic] the food directly to you over the counter…I will be serving you food that I want to eat myself in the way I would like to be served.”
When Seattle Met restaurant critic Kathryn Robinson sampled Kappo’s omakase menu, she reported, “Placing yourself in the hands of a chef like this is a dream.”
In other words, get excited, and expect big things from Kitamura’s new venture.
