What User likes about Kappa Ya:
We love this place, amazing freshly prepared Japanese food, very high quality in a very authentic feeling restaurant. Our year old was happily eating sashimi loved his sushi and miso soup too. We tried different sakes and amazing plum wine, with the advice of the very knowledgeable owner. He is a master artist of food. Would highly recommend Kappa-ya for anyone who loves Japanese food.
