Makoto Restaurant - Sakedokoro Makoto
Description
Since opening in 1992, Sakedokoro Makoto has been instrumental in introducing an authentic Japanese dining experience to the DC Metro area and has been recognized nationally as one of the best restaurants in America.
Sakedokoro means "Place of Sake" and Makoto simply means, Harmony.
We serve an Omakase (Chef's Way) style of Japanese dining which is not the same as Kaiseki. The latter is the most formal form of dining in Japan dating back centuries. Kaiseki cuisine has strict rules and regulations as to what to eat, when and how. Omakase on the other hand has been more of a "freestyle" of executing the cooking technique. One philosophy both styles share is that food should be to fill the soul not the belly.
The concept and philosophy behind the Sakedokoro is that the food is created to enjoy with good Sake. We follow this philosophy as we create each dish.
Even though we serve limited Sushi as part of our A La Carte Lunch Menu and Dinner Tasting Menu, we are Not a Sushi Bar. We keep our selection of fish simple and fresh. Our sister establishment upstairs, Kotobuki can provide you with all your diverse Sushi cravings.
We welcome you to experience Nihon Ryori (Japanese Cuisine) with Nihon Aji (Japanese taste).
