Kaiseki Cuisine on Park Avenue

Traditionally, kaiseki moves through a set sequence of small courses, with as much attention paid to how each dish is presented as how it tastes. The format has its origins in the Japanese tea ceremony. During this ceremony, a simple meal was served alongside the tea itself.

Hakubai is located on the lower level of The Kitano Hotel on Park Avenue in New York. The dining room's design reflects the same Japanese-influenced style found throughout the rest of the hotel. Reservations can be made by phone or through the Book a Table button on this page.
