Founded and operated by Hong Kong-based Dining Art Group, KAPPOU MU attracts Japanese dining purists who relish the simplicity of kappou (‘to cut and to cook’) cuisine based upon the quality of the freshest seasonal ingredients from Japan and the world over.

Following time-honoured rituals, the restaurant’s artistry is shaped by the 5 guiding principles of Japanese cuisine, which include incorporating the 5 key cooking methods (simmered, steamed, grilled/roasted, fried and raw), 5 colours (red, green, yellow, white and black) and 5 tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter and the all-important umami or savoury). The culinary team also prides itself upon elevating the traditionally robust kappou experience into a more exquisite, elegant expression that soothes the soul while satisfying the palate.
