Wonderful Japanese fare by a Michelin-starred chef

It may be hard to believe but hidden on the third floor of department store Isetan in The Gardens Mall in Mid Valley, Kuala Lumpur may quite possibly be one of the city’s best fine-dining Japanese kaiseki experiences.

To get to the restaurant, you’ll literally have to walk through the department store. It’s an odd juxtaposition, but the meal that awaits is more than worth this slight anomaly.
