Best Authentic Restaurants in Hibiya / Yurakucho

What a remarkable experience! We have lived in Japan for the past six months, and this was absolutely our best eating experience since we moved here. The restaurant is very beautiful - private and intimate with just ten seats at the sushi bar. The hostess and her husband, the chef, are just some of the most friendly people I've ever met, and the young lady who took care of the diners and ensured that we always had fresh green tea and a full water glass was attentive and friendly. We had so many questions about the food, about the restaurant and its decorations, and about Japan in general, and the hostess was engaging and informative, teaching us things about sushi, about the local area, and about Japanese culture in general. There were three parties at the restaurant when we went, and we never felt ignored or disregarded. The meal was paced perfectly - the minute you had an inkling of maybe wanting another new experience of sushi, there was the chef, making something else. The ingredients were the best I've tasted, amazingly fresh and prepared perfectly. Though not cheap, the experience was worth every bit of the cost and we plan on going again as often as we are able to get to Tokyo and Roppongi.

Take the sake pairing with the chefs omikase…great experience

Excellent as always. Looking forward another venue soon.

Everything was fantastic. Service was amazing. The food was well prepared and delicious.

I was a bit skeptical once we arrived and it was in the restaurant level of a shopping mall...in the USA, we do not usually associate quality dining within shopping malls with a few exceptions. However, I was quickly dissuaded. Service was impeccable. We were seated in a private room and our server was dressed to impress in a kimono! The food was exquisitely presented and served elegantly. The chef came in several times to check-in and serve us the dishes. It was an absolute delight! A true kaiseki experience. My only criticism would be that our private dining room was a brightly lit and there were no wall decorations. It may have been better to lower the lights and have a piece of art on the wall. That would have made it better. All in all, a superb evening. A nice, special dinner while in Tokyo. Highly recommended.
