At Kiyen's KamiKaito, the menu is an exciting journey through bold flavors and fresh ingredients. As I dive into the offerings, the House Appetizers set the perfect tone with Edamame — a simple yet satisfying snack that's lightly salted and perfectly steamed. The Honey Crispy Shrimp offers a delightful contrast with its crispy coating and sweet, sticky glaze, making it an addictive starter that’s hard to resist.
Moving to the Signature Appetizers, the Baby Yellowtail Carpaccio takes the spotlight, delivering a delicate balance of freshness with a hint of citrus and subtle herbs. Meanwhile, the Blue Fin Tuna Tartar is a masterpiece of finely chopped tuna, paired with a light soy dressing and a touch of spice, offering a refreshing and rich start to the meal.
For those seeking something unique, the Kami Starters stand out with the Green Oasis, a refreshing mix of greens, avocado, and a tangy dressing that transports you to a tropical paradise. The Blue Crab Tower is a showstopper — layers of sweet, tender blue crab are stacked high, complemented by a zesty dressing that enhances every bite.
Salads at KamiKaito aren’t just a side dish but a highlight of the meal. The Cucumber Salad is a cool, crisp treat that pairs wonderfully with the Chef's Spicy Seaweed Salad, which brings the perfect balance of heat and umami, a true taste of the ocean.
To wrap up this journey, the Soups and Noodles section offers a soothing Mussel Soup, rich in flavor with a delicate broth that lingers on the palate, and the comforting Miso Soup, a classic that never fails to satisfy with its warm, savory depth. Whether you're in the mood for something light and fresh or rich and flavorful, Kiyen's KamiKaito’s menu ensures there's something for every craving.
