About Kappa Restaurant

Imagine you are able to transport yourself to Japan in an instant. You climb weathered wooden stairs to a balcony where, though there is no sign in English, a sliding door opens to reveal a ten-seat bar and the glimpse of a kitchen. The traditionally dressed chef and his wife greet you warmly as you enter this windowless cocoon of a restaurant. Around you are seated only Japanese patrons and the menu is more of a list of suggestions than anything else. No fewer than 15 sakes in a wide range of styles and prices are available. Welcome to Kappa.

Kyoto style dining in Japantown

By Amy Sherman (05/20/2004)

" Kappa is located in Japantown and though directly above the landmark Denny's, it's not easy to find even with directions. The restaurant is "koryori" style that, depending upon your source, translates into English as old-fashioned, pub style, or small plate style. Your meal will likely be unique as the selections are based on seasonality and availability. "

Kabuto Sushi Reopens in the Richmond

By Hubert Huang (01/21/2004)

" If one can eschew the comforts of a private table, a seat at the sushi bar will reward you with an improved dining experience. There, a glass display showcases the variety of fish available today, where even the most seasoned of sushi diners will likely not recognize some of the offerings. But fear not, any of the sushi chefs behind the bar will happily point out which filet in the glass case is shima aji (amber jack) and which is kanpachi (yellow jack) or recommend one of their numerous specialty rolls.
