Chicabel: Kappa

Travel Blog: New Zealand

When we were in Queenstown last month, we were recommended by my brother to go to Kappa for authentic Japanese cuisine.

This place was pretty packed when we arrived but luckily there was 1 table available for us YAY!! They have the normal seating area and also a sushi bar.

While talking to the waitress, she mentioned to us that Kappa is owned and managed by Japanese people but the other Japanese eateries in town are owned by either Chinese or Korean. Can't get more authentic than that I guess.

We were sad to find their bluff oysters have sold out (but all good as the next day we had some delicious bluff oysters at another restaurant but more on that in the next post).

We had really great sashimi especially the tuna. And the teriyaki chicken was really nice, tender chicken with great teriyaki sauce. They also served a variety of Japanese Beers that are hard to find in other restaurants.
