Makoto Kimoto

I had already been to several of his popular Seattle restaurants before I met Chef Makoto – on a Seattle roof-top deck soaking in the rare seattle spring sun.

So when my friend introduced me (and the 360Knife Block) to Chef Makoto I was excited at the prospect of him having a 360 Knife Block in any of his kitchens… he loved the concept and with a growing knife collection Makoto bought a black MAX, which lives in his home kitchen displaying a fantastic collection of Japanese knives.

Chef Makoto Kimoto specializes in Japanese cuisine, all of them, expertly delivered in a flawless restaurant experience that expanded across the puget sound to serve Ramen, Sashimi, and Japanese Whiskey steps from the Seattle Ferry Dock in Bainbridge Island – if you are coming to Seattle put his restaurants on your list.
