Kazunori Japanese Restaurant

Kazunori Japanese Restaurant occupies ground-floor space in the Mazda Makati Building on Chino Roces Avenue, with an open-kitchen main dining area, a café section, and an enclosed private dining room. The counter seats 12, and Chef Kazunori Kuramochi works in kaiseki style, preparing washoku courses of appetizers, grilled and simmered dishes, sashimi, rice, soup, and dessert using ingredients flown in from Japan. A separate sushi omakase program, led by an in-house Japanese chef, runs alongside the kaiseki menu at the same counter setup.

Pricing is tiered. The Kazunori Omakase (kaiseki) starts at PHP 5,500 per person, with higher tiers at PHP 8,500 and PHP 12,000 for more courses. The Sushi Omakase runs PHP 7,000 for a 13–15 course meal, PHP 9,500 for 17–19 courses, and PHP 12,500 for 20–22 courses. Both omakase formats require a PHP 3,000 per head down payment within 48 hours of booking to hold the reservation. Seating runs in two dinner windows, and a 2-hour dining limit applies on busy nights.

The private dining room, finished in Japanese minimalist wood, holds up to 12 guests for à la carte meals with a PHP 15,000 minimum spend plus service charge, and a PHP 7,500 down payment within 48 hours. Reservations are handled by phone; the restaurant notes that seating preference depends on availability and that guests arriving more than 15 minutes late may lose their table. English menus are available, dress code is smart casual, and the restaurant is not cash-only.
