Kappo Rin Reviews from The Last Year
Well deserved its Michelin star!
This Japanese restaurant is located in The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, just adjacent to Sushi Shikon. Led by Chef Masaru Furukawa, it has been awarded Michelin one-star status in 2023. The word ‘kappo’ means ‘cut and cook’, highlighting this style of Japanese cuisine with the chef cooking in front of customers and interact. Dinner service has two periods, one starting at 6pm and the other 8:30pm. We had reserved the earlier slot and were seated at the end of the beautiful hinoki counter, which could accommodate 8 customers. The décor was nice, having an elegant and traditional ambience as if one was in Japan. The Dinner Menu cost $2,500 each and I also ordered a bottle of sake: 東洋美人 純米大吟醸 プリンセスミチコ ($1,700). The yeast used in this sake came from a rose variety known as ‘Princess Michiko’, which was presented from England when the current Empress was the crown princess. It had an elegant nose with a nice sweetness, good pairing with the food on the night. The first course already drew a gasp of wonder when it was presented. On a fresh green lotus leaf was an orange lantern flower, or Alkekengi. Opening inside was a piece of nicely grilled Eel, with crispy skin and great umami flavours of the unagi sauce, and with a bit of wasabi and sancho leaves to add a hint of spicy notes. Underneath was some shredded Cucumber with a crunchy texture to contrast, and also helped to freshen the palate. A wonderful appetizer. The second course featured Straw Smoked Bonito, with the chef marinated the skipjack tuna in soy sauce briefly, giving it an extra layer of savoury flavour, which also brought forward the umami taste, in addition to the fragrant straw smoky note. Everything was so balanced and harmonized. Instead of having wasabi, it was paired with seaweed paste which got radish mixed in. Truly delicious sashimi. The third course showcased how the chef paid attention to all details. While the chef prepared the dashi in front of us, the sous chef poured hot water to heat up the serving bowl. When everything was ready, the Hairy Crab Dumpling was taken out from the steamer to the bowl, together with Abalone and Green Yuzu. Pouring the dashi in and then covered with lid, the sous chef sprayed some clean water on the bowl, as a tradition to show that the bowl had not been opened or tampered. The hot clear soup was amazing in taste, with the crab meat dumpling sweet and delicate. The abalone offered a good bite, but I did not think it was truly necessary to add that given the dish was so good already. Amazing soup. Originally in the menu the fourth course featured Taichio, but since there were some incredible Kinmedai available the chef decided to use them instead. He also perfectly grilled the Matsutake Mushroom on hibachi, cooking through but not drying. These prized matsutake was called ‘early matsu’ as they were harvested before the normal season. Paired with Sudachi Lime to give some refreshing acidity, the radish and yam paste together with yuzu shavings helped to complement the flavours. A wonderful grilled dish. The fifth course was Seasonal Sushi. The chef toasted the nori sheet on hibachi to make them crisp, and then put the shari, abundance of minced maguro with takuan, and Bafun-uni in to make the sushi. The rich and fantastic flavours from the fish oil of the tuna, the umami taste of the sea urchin, the creamy and soft texture of both contrasting with the crunchy bite of takuan, all wrapping up in the crisp nori, created a symphony of taste and texture. I had to resist the temptation to immediately ask for an encore of this sushi. The sixth course showcased the tempura technique, with the chef cutting the Swordtip Squid in thin strips and put inside the bowl, on top was deep-fried Aoyagi Clam in a seaweed batter, with also Ginger and Okra. The batter was very thin and virtually non-existent. Mixing everything together was a feast, allowing us to enjoy different texture and flavours at the same time. Very good fried dish. The seventh course again brought a wow to all of us, a cocktail glass with a bubble containing white fumes inside. Using the spoon to poke the bubble, the tomato water got Sea Urchin, Whelk, Mozuku Sea Moss, Water Shield, Spaghetti Squash, and Japanese Cantaloupe Melon. Refreshing and serving as a palate cleanser, the different ingredients offered contrasts in texture to make this dish interesting, with the delicate taste harmonized and not over-shadowing each other in flavours. Thoughtful and a creative refreshment deviating from traditional Japanese cuisine. The eighth course featured Matsusaka Wagyu Beef Sukiyaki, with Onion and Crown Daisy. The beef was flavourful and great in taste, and again the attention in steaming the plate beforehand to keep it warm on serving, the half-poached egg with runny yolk to add to the sukiyaki sauce, and the careful timing of blanching the crown daisy to avoid over-cooking the delicate vegetable, were all meticulous. I also liked the onion which added a sweetness to the dish. Very delicious seasonal course. The ninth course was kamameshi, with the rice cooked in clay pot, then added a large amount of spring onion, and then grilled Tile Fish on top. Together with Pickles and Miso Soup, the rice was really fantastic, not too soft nor too hard, fragrant with the spring onion, and the seasoning of tile fish was also spot on. Both of us ended up having three servings as it was so good. While the other diners might feel we were too hungry, we were not shy to ask for more of this really delicious rice. I was puzzled earlier when seeing the ice shaving equipment at the counter, but then the chef brought out a slab of natural ice and then laboriously turning the wheel to shave off the ice, making our tenth course of Summer Limited Shaved Ice. The texture was very powdery, ethereal, and dissolving in the mouth in no time which reminded me of soft snow. There were layers of red beans, matcha, milk, sake foam and a sour plum to add colours and flavours to the shaved ice. It totally revolutionized my perception of this type of dessert. Must try if you got the chance! The eleventh and last course was Amazake with Grilled Mochi. The amazake was a traditional sweet low-alcohol beverage made from fermented rice. Serving it hot, with a piece of grilled mochi having chewy bite, this in my opinion was a much better dessert than the typical slice of melon, grapes or strawberries. The effort and how the chef was able to balance the earlier shaved ice using this wagashi to warm our stomach was thoughtful. Service was very good, with the staff friendly and attentive, able to introduce the cuisine to us in details. The bill on the night was $7,370 and while it was not cheap, I would certainly like to come back again, especially knowing that the chef would regularly change the menu to match with the season and highlight the best ingredients at the time.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!

Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res

Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
