Dinner at <strong>n\/naka<\/strong> is\u00a0a dining experience. It cost (way) more\u00a0than our usual special occasion budget, but worth every penny. I&#8217;m so glad we finally had a chance to go here because\u00a0it was the best meal of our lives. Every single morsel was a masterpiece and each\u00a0bite was as excellent as the one before it. It was a little over of three hours of pure bliss (we had a sitter that night).<\/p>\n<p><em>My husband rarely posts, but felt so moved by the meal, he had to put it in writing. Before I continue, you must first know about kaiseki, the style of dining at n\/naka<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>What is Kaiseki<\/h2>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_41644\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YorFbtA8JXg?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=light&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>From the <strong>n\/naka<\/strong> website (<a href=\"http:\/\/n-naka.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>n-naka.com<\/strong><\/a>):<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The whole of a meal is as important as the sum of its parts. At <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/n-naka.com\/\">n\/naka<\/a><\/strong>, we are devoted to providing a unique and satisfying dining experience through our interpretation of <strong>kaiseki<\/strong>. This traditional Japanese culinary art form reflects the ever-changing rhythms of the earth by taking the freshest seasonal ingredients and presenting them in their most natural states. Using the very best ingredients we have access to is true kaiseki; we proudly serve vegetables from our own organic garden built and maintained by our friends at <a href=\"http:\/\/farmscapegardens.com\/#home\" target=\"_blank\">Farmscape Gardens<\/a>. We take great care in preparing a beautiful plate and believe that the more involvement we put into a meal \u2014 no shortcuts \u2014 the more connected we feel to the food and to your experience of it. Through a meaningful balance of both traditional and modern techniques, Chef <a href=\"http:\/\/n-naka.com\/chef\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Niki Nakayama<\/strong><\/a> is committed to creating a meal that will engage your attention \u2014 it&#8217;s about enjoying the moment, the current offerings of the season, and ultimately, the food in front of you.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;This Meal Changed My Life&#8221; by Josh Hunt<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a few weeks since we were there now, but I remember it as if it were my last meal only a couple short hours ago, &amp; the last genuine meal I will ever eat; unless I am fortunate enough to have a seat at that grand feast once more. The elegant images that flashed across the screen as we watched Chef&#8217;s Table on Netflix, &amp; the memories I have in my own head are only specters of the exquisite art that simply must be tasted to truly be understood &amp; enjoyed.<\/p>\n<p>I could go on &amp; on about every mouth-watering bite, how the flavors paired perfectly with each sake &amp; wine that our hostess recommended. I could describe in detail each intricacy of every fresh herb on every plate set before me from the garden which I so long just to sit &amp; admire for five minutes. I just kept thinking about that garden throughout the entire meal- wondering what planet vegetables like that came from, &amp; how come when we cook cauliflower, we have to add almost abhorrent amounts of salt, pepper, &amp; olive oil just to feel like it&#8217;s actually food.<\/p>\n<p>To dine at\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/n-naka.com\/\">n\/naka<\/a><\/strong> is not just to eat an extraordinary, unforgettable meal. As best as I can describe it, the pure sensation, which plays with at least six senses, is as if every individual you&#8217;ve ever respected for following their passion in all of history, &amp; the whole world knew without a doubt they are on point, were rolled into one, &amp; that person is Niki Nakayama. Then, you don&#8217;t just pull off the feat of making a reservation at her restaurant for dinner. Oh no! You have no idea what you&#8217;re walking into. This is not even just an experience. You are going to be honored! She is a complete stranger to you save for the name, but she loves you, &amp; she longs to give you her uttermost, expressive, delectable, \u201cneo-creations\u201d. The plate is not her canvas, it&#8217;s your mouth! She wants to leave you feeling like the first time you ever heard your favorite song, &amp; like you just got cozy with some hot chocolate &amp; the family quilt at grandma&#8217;s house after Christmas festivities, all at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if you will ever have the privilege, but I can only hope that someday you get to feel alive like we did. At the end of your awakening, it&#8217;s only fitting that you also get to thank her.<\/p>\n<h2>Our dining experience<\/h2>\n<p>photos by Ruby Hunt<\/p>\n<h3>MODERN KAISEKI<\/h3>\n<h3>(THIRTEEN
