Really enjoyed my meal here, attached a picture of the menu we had that evening which was their top offering of the month. Also the plum wine was really good, recommend having it with ice.

Impeccable kaiseki experience! We came for dinner a while back after finding Ranzan through a Google search for kaiseki. The servers wear kimono and introduce the dishes in Japanese if they know you speak the language, but it's friendly and laid back enough to feel comfortable. Today we came on a whim for my birthday and it was perfect. We had the Shoukado with about 12 small seasonal dishes, each beautifully presented on a unique little bowl or plate. We were the only guests during our early lunch, so I hope more people check this place out so they are around for a long time!
