A Unique Modern Kappo Dining Experience: Michiru Opens Near Shinagawa Station

On March 6, 2026, Daiichi Kosho Co., Ltd. will unveil ‘Michiru’, a modern kappo dining establishment located just steps from Shinagawa Station. This innovative restaurant concept creatively combines the traditional technique of seiro steaming with both Japanese and Western culinary flavors, offering guests a new way to experience fine dining.

The name 'Michiru' is derived from the Japanese word for 'to be full' or 'to be satisfied.' With an emphasis on seasonal ingredients, the restaurant's dishes are crafted to highlight the best of both worlds—Japanese and Western cooking methods. The goal of Michiru is to create a unique and fulfilling dining experience, ensuring that every visit leaves guests feeling completely satisfied. From carefully prepared steamed dishes to expertly grilled meats, tantalizing desserts, and warm hospitality, Michiru aims to provide an atmosphere where patrons can savor each moment of their meal.

Situated just a two-minute walk from the Konan Exit of JR Shinagawa Station, Michiru boasts a tranquil and stylish setting. The interior design combines soft wood textures with chic stone elements, creating a warm and modern Japanese ambiance. This allows guests to relax and enjoy their time without feeling rushed or uncomfortable.

Among the highlights of the menu are the expertly steamed dishes, which allow the natural flavors of ingredients to shine. Whether it's the fresh vegetables bursting with sweetness or the tender seafood and meat, every dish is crafted to perfection, emphasizing a delicate finish. Guests can indulge in a wide range of offerings, including grilled items, skewers, seasonal salads, and sashimi. Notable dishes, such as 'Karasumi Soba' and 'Shiro Leber Dorayaki,' showcase unique culinary creativity, adding depth and variety to the dining experience.

Michiru also offers a selection of thoughtfully paired drinks to complement the food. Guests can enjoy drinks like 'Jukugō Imo Jasmine,' a blend of sweet potato shochu with jasmine tea, and 'Kōdachi,' a Japanese craft gin infused with cedar and cypress, served with sencha. These signature drinks bring a focus on aroma, providing unique pairings that can only be found at Michiru.

In addition, Daiichi Kosho is committed to creating immersive and innovative dining experiences that resonate with customer preferences and local characteristics. The company's aim is to continually elevate customer satisfaction through exceptional service and appealing environments.
