Kappo DC is a 21-seat restaurant in Washington, DC, offering a Tokyo-styled Kappo dining experience with a focus on wagyu-centric tasting menus. Revived and reimagined by Chef Minoru Ogawa, it serves a multi-course meal that emphasizes the chef's creativity and the intimate dining atmosphere traditionally associated with Kappo cuisine.

Originally established in 1994 as Sakedoro Makoto by Chef Yoshiaki Itoh, Kappo DC aims to foster a sense of community through its playful dinner party vibe and relies on word-of-mouth business and repeat clientele. The restaurant features an extensive sake and wine program curated by Ari Wilder, enhancing the dining experience.
