All dishes are designed to be a counterpoint to KaiZen's extensive selection of premium artisan hot and cold sakes.

Pricing is moderate to compete with other well-known, high-end Japanese restaurants. Lunch specials will range from $10-20, while dinner entrees will be in the $15 - $25 range.

Unlike many restaurants KaiZen will offer breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as late-night snacks for the "downtown lounge crowd" taking full advantage of an underserved market.

In addition to traditional Japanese fare -- sushi, sashimi, teriyaki dishes, and tempura -- KaiZen will offer hand-crafted organic bakery products (including traditional rice crackers freshly baked in a small automated oven), hand-crafted tofu dishes (including desserts) and "fusion dishes" that combine flavors and techniques from a global palette.
