Normally the oily and spicy flavors of Sichuan cuisine is best enjoyed in a big group, but at Tokagen the kaiseki lunch course is perfect for individuals. It is a feast with both your eyes and taste buds with its fine presentation and sophisticated flavor. Mr. Takashi Saito, the President of Kumamoto Hotel Castle, is a student of Mr. Kenichi Chin (Iron Chef) and has won many prizes. The staff here are very polite and the Chinese style interior is beautiful. I would recommend this restaurant for business functions, parties or a romantic date. Let's check it out.

Squid in cream sauce. The combination of the rich cream sauce with sweet corn is addictive.

Appetizer. The courses here are delicately presented in a way that is similar to French or Japanese Kaiseki style. The pork in a sweet and spicy sauce flavored with star anise is appealing.

Mabo tofu - your choice of Sichuan or Hokkien style

Tantan Noodles. Sesame and peanuts make a great combination

Annin Tofu. The almond jelly bathed in a tapioca and coconuts soup is addictive. I can easily finish another bowl as it is not too sweet.

Tokagen is located at the basement of Kumamoto Hotel Castle.
