The quick summary is you get what you paid for. Every dish was delicious and some were quite creative. You won’t be disappointed with the quality. I just can’t speak for everyone once factoring in the cost of >$7000/person.

Taste: overall, all courses served well with good setup; taste is definitely above average. Per this meal, most surprising me was the FuGang Sea Cucumber (1st time had it) and the Beef Tongue (well prepared); other than that were great with not much surprises.

Cost & Environment : if you are coming for a special date or occasion, worth to dine here…. Will not go wrong (atmosphere, food, and services are all well presented); if come here in normal occasion for omakase, maybe it is over pricey as in term of the ingredients vs cost - Average 7.5K per pax (i think that I can get the similar ingredients with more competitive $ in Taipei). As for Environment, I can only comment as good, good & good.

In my opinion only…

Friendly, noisy kappo experience with an older crowd of patrons and generally good if not memorable or creative dishes - a bit disappointing given the high price point.  The two rice dishes at the end are a bit messy and mediocre.  Don't hesitate to wait list for seats.

Have not tried kaiseki cuisine in Taipei for quite long time.  Kohaku is definitely worthy of trying.  Very delicate preparation with every dish.
