Capturing the spirit of Kyoto, Kajitsu emphasizes a vegetarian adaptation on Japanese cuisine. There are two fixed menus, both containing traditional "shojin" foods originating from the Japan's Buddist monesteries. Kajitsu's chef previously worked for "Kiccho Arashiyama Honten", considered to be one of the best ryotei in Japan. He is only 31 years old, and clearly establishing himself as an enfant terrible in the New York Japanese cuisine food scene.
