Every dish at Kimpura tells a story, not just of the ingredients and techniques used, but of the cultural and historical significance behind it. Our menu is a celebration of Japan’s rich culinary heritage, and each dish is a chapter in the story of Japanese cuisine.
The Tale of Sushi
Sushi, one of Japan’s most iconic dishes, has a history that dates back centuries. Originally a method of preserving fish in fermented rice, sushi has evolved into a beloved delicacy enjoyed worldwide. At Kimpura, our sushi chefs honor this tradition by preparing sushi that is both authentic and innovative. Each piece of sushi is a testament to the skill and artistry of our chefs, who strive to create perfect harmony between the rice and the topping.
The Tradition of Teppanyaki
Teppanyaki cooking, which involves grilling ingredients on a flat iron griddle, originated in Japan in the mid-20th century. It quickly became popular for its interactive and entertaining style. At Kimpura, our teppanyaki chefs continue this tradition, delighting guests with their culinary prowess and showmanship. The stories of our teppanyaki dishes are woven with the sounds of sizzling ingredients, the sight of expert knife skills, and the aroma of perfectly cooked food.
The Art of Tempura
Tempura, introduced to Japan by Portuguese missionaries in the 16th century, has since become a staple of Japanese cuisine. The key to perfect tempura lies in the batter, which must be light and airy to create a crispy coating that doesn’t overpower the natural flavors of the ingredients. At Kimpura, we follow time-honored techniques to ensure that our tempura is always crisp, light, and delicious.
At Kimpura, we invite you to embark on a culinary journey where every dish tells a story.
