Where tradition meets artistry at the counter
The name "Kiyoshi" (清) means purity in Japanese — a principle that guides everything we do. From the selection of each fish to the final presentation, every decision is made with the intention of achieving pure, honest flavor.
We believe the finest sushi doesn't need embellishment. It needs precision, respect for the ingredient, and a chef who understands the balance between tradition and innovation.
That's why we bring the preparation directly to you — live, at the counter — so you can witness the integrity behind every piece.
Our chef brings years of rigorous training in the art of Edomae sushi — the traditional Tokyo-style preparation that emphasizes the relationship between chef, ingredient, and guest.
Trained under master sushi chefs and refined through countless hours of practice, our chef's hands tell a story of dedication. Each slice is deliberate. Each plate is composed with intention.
At Kiyoshi Omakase, the chef isn't hidden behind kitchen walls. The counter is the stage, and the performance is the art of sushi itself — bringing the centuries-old itamae tradition to Overland Park, Kansas.
We let the ingredients speak. No unnecessary sauces or distractions — just the purest expression of each fish at its peak season.
Every cut, every press of rice, every brush of nikiri represents decades of skill. Our chef's technique is honed through relentless practice.
Omakase is a bond of trust between chef and guest. The live counter experience creates an intimate connection that elevates the meal.
We follow nature's calendar. Our menu shifts with the seasons, ensuring every ingredient is served at the moment of its greatest beauty and flavor.
Our commitment to quality begins at the source. We partner with trusted suppliers from Tokyo's Toyosu Market, as well as premium fisheries around the world, to procure the finest seasonal fish available.
Whether it's Hokkaido uni, wild-caught bluefin tuna, or live kuruma ebi, every ingredient is selected with one goal: to deliver the most authentic and extraordinary omakase experience in Overland Park and the greater Kansas City area.
Kiyoshi Omakase is intentionally intimate. With limited counter seating, every guest enjoys an unobstructed view of the chef's work — making each visit feel personal and exclusive.
The space is designed with understated elegance: warm wood tones, soft lighting, and clean lines that reflect the wabi-sabi philosophy of beauty in simplicity. Located at 8016 Santa Fe Dr in Overland Park, we provide a serene escape from the everyday.
