Kurama Omakase - Japanese restaurant in Keene - 14 Cypress St, USA

Always an incredible dining experience at this sushi restaurant. The freshness of the fish sourced from Japan's Toyosu Market truly sets it apart. Kevin’s omakase experience is nothing short of amazing, rivaling some of the best establishments in New York City. A five-star gem for sushi enthusiasts!

This place is amazing. I enjoyed the Chefs Choice Sashimi and a few other things. It was fresh and SO good. The staff was very friendly and the dining area was clean and relaxing. You get what you pay for and I can't wait to go back! 👍

Update: I also ordered the Trust the Chef and Uni sushi. If you like traditional Japanese sushi. Definitely go with it. The chef will make slices in front of you to keep the freshness (if you sit at the bar). Try Japanese lofi music next time. It helps create a relaxing atmosphere. You can find Americanized sushi and Japanese sushi here. I preferred the latter. However, the interior is a bit different from the photos I see on google maps. By the way, the music isn’t a good fit for the vibe.

The sushi was the best we have had in years. It is like being in Vegas for a delicious sushi. Very fresh and amazing taste! Finally, Keene has a great place to have dinner! We met a couple who travels over an hour from MA who could go to Boston, but chooses Kurama Omakase for their sushi fix. That is a great compliment! They are the best and looking forward to going again!

Our party of six had the Omakase experience -- watching the chef make each piece was amazing. Very expensive, but the quality of the fish and the wagyu beef was entirely worth it. The staff was so friendly and accommodating.

How you rate this restaurant just depends on what it is that you're looking for. It's got by far the best quality sushi in the area. My mom said it's the best fish she's had since she lived in Japan. It's the only one that uses real wasabi (most use a horseradish paste that's been dyed green). It's also got some great appetizers. The crab rangoons are the best you'll come across, the gyoza's on point, and this is the only place i've been to in New Hampshire that serves takoyaki. What they specialize in is omakase, which is when the sushi chef makes and serves you a multi course meal. It's definitely an experience. Now, the downsides. It is, of course, expensive. The omakase costs over $80, not including drinks or the tip. Make sure you ask the price before buying anything listed as "market price" because they have some very expensive imported ingredients and you don't want to be blindsided by the bill. There's usually only one sushi chef making multiple meals so service can be a little slow. Lastly, they didn't do a great job on the non food aspects of the restaurant. Their best tasting Japanese beer and sakes aren't on their beer and sake list. Their bathroom looks like it belongs in one of the cheapest restaurants in town, not one of the most expensive. All this being said, if what you really care about is just high quality japanese food, this is the place for you.

Decent sushi place in Keene NH. Place is very simple and plain. The sushi was fresh and tasty. The rolls I ordered were very simple. I've ordered them at other places and they just were prepped a little differently but the taste was there so.

I had lunch with my friend at Kurama Omakase. The lady that was serving us was so positive and caring. She really seemed to love her job and that made my day. She was very attentive to our needs, always offering to refill our drinks and making sure we were happy above all else. I've never experienced such great service in years. The food was amazing, too. Definitely recommend this place.
