Deigo

A Legacy of Exquisite Japanese Tradition

Stepping into Deigo is like embarking on a culinary journey to the heart of Japan, right here in Mexico City. Established in 1995 by the esteemed Genshin Oyakawa, Deigo has, for decades, been a cornerstone of traditional Japanese cuisine, celebrated for its unwavering commitment to classic forms and the meticulous selection of premium ingredients. When Mr. Oyakawa retired and returned to Japan, he entrusted his legacy to the capable hands of Yoshitake Yanagi and the dedicated culinary team, ensuring that his teachings and high standards continue to flourish. This enduring dedication to authenticity is palpable in every dish, offering a dining experience that transcends mere sustenance, becoming a celebration of Japanese culinary artistry.

Beyond the Plate: The Kaito Experience

Deigo's allure extends beyond its exceptional main dining area with the inclusion of Kaito, an upstairs izakaya bar that has garnered significant acclaim as a destination in its own right. Kaito is not just a bar; it's an authentic Japanese tavern experience, offering a sophisticated array of cocktails inspired by Japanese pop and punk culture, alongside classic and oriental-infused concoctions. This unique blend of traditional and contemporary creates an vibrant atmosphere, making Kaito the perfect spot for an evening of inventive drinks and flavorful small plates.
