hakubai

"Hakubai has shed its old skin and emerged as a dazzling culinary butterfly! The meticulous attention to detail in every aspect elevates the dining experience to new heights. The food is a work of art, each bite a burst of flavor and artistry. The fragrance alone is enough to entice you in, and the entire ambiance is designed to let you savor every moment. Hakubai is no longer just a restaurant; it's a must-try destination for anyone who appreciates exceptional dining."

"One of the best tasting menus experiences I’ve tried! The staff are so detailed and I would highly recommend if you like Japanese food/fine dining."

"The new revamp of Hakubai is definitely worthy of Michelin stars. I used to frequent this restaurant in the Kitano hotel decades ago and the new iteration is sleek and elegant. The food is impeccably executed with premium ingredients sourced from Japan on gorgeous plateware. Even the chopsticks are from special trees! Really enjoyed the tasting menu here with top notch service."

"Such an amazing experience. Each dish so beautifully presented like jewels, so perfectly prepared. Every bite is full of surprises and you just find yourself trying to absorb everything from the masterful art of flavor and texture in your mouth, in this very calm almost therapeutic atmosphere. Definitely recommend the counter if you are a small party. It’s fun to watch the magic happen in front of you."

"The new Hakubai offers modern kaiseki tasting menu in The Prince Kitano Hotel. With a complete different vibe from the hotel, Hakubai is hidden downstairs with tasteful artworks and newly designed interior. Impressive execution of authentic kaiseki menu with a modern twist. Well thought beverage pairing. Impeccable service. Perfect venue for business dinners and special occasions."
