The Japanese word kappo stands for ‘traditional and sophisticated Japanese cuisine,’ and the high-end Fujitsuru Kappo, housed in the ‘higher-end’ Canton Place, specializes in exactly this type of food.
Executive Chef Ito Mitsuru embarked on his culinary career at a top sushi restaurant in Fukuoka 40 years ago. A decade ago, his gastronomic gallivant through East Asia brought him to China, where he has helmed culinary operations at various restaurants and five-star hotels, including Hotel Nikko Guangzhou.

According to Mitsuru, he always prepares his edibles using traditional methods to ensure the most authentic dishes. He never, ever compromises to local flavor preferences.

Today, you’ll find Mitsuru conjuring up magical Japanese flavors at Fujitsuru, where he guarantees food freshness through a strict purchasing routine: all seafood is flown in four times a week from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market, aka the world’s largest seafood market.

The handwritten chef’s menu attests to Mitsuru’s commitment to freshness, only featuring in-season ingredients.
Regular kaiseki and teppanyaki sets are on offer and can be enjoyed in the restaurant’s eight private rooms or the chic dining area. Those looking to taste Chef Mitsuru’s specialties should opt to order omasaka, a Japanese word that roughly translates to ‘I leave it up to you.’ Alternatively, snag a seat at the sushi bar and have the seafood shifu fix you up with some of your favorites.
