Tokyo Taitou-ku Asakusa 1-38-10

This long-established tempura restaurant located near Senso-ji was founded in 1887. Using just sesame oil the tempura with a fragrant smell is eaten with a sauce that has been carefully passed down since the time of it founding. The pure Japanese atmosphere is even loved by non-Japanese as well. Recommended dishes include the tendon rice bowl that uses large juicy shrimp that seem to be flying out of the bowl. The rich sauce that captures the hearts of fans for its unforgettable taste.

There was a queue outside when I arrived on a Sunday night but it was worth the short wait. I was given an English menu straight up and ordered the Prawn and fish Tempura. The batter was a little...

Tokyo Taitou-ku Nihondutsumi 1-9-2

A long-standing tendon (tempura rice bowl) restaurant established in 1889 which has continued to serve the same great-tasting meals for 128 years. The restaurant's signature item is its anago garden eel tempura, and Dote no Iseya has a dedicated tank outside the restaurant to ensure customers enjoy only the freshest eel. Taking great care in the oil used to deep fry the tempura, the thick sauce drizzled on top, and the rice served in each bowl, Dote no Iseya serves truly first-rate tendon.

Dote-no-Iseya is not the easiest place to get to but I assure you the trip there was well worth the trip. Anago and unagi are different in that Anago is sea eel while unagi are the fresh water...

Tokyo Hachioujishi Minamiasakawamachi 3426

This Japanese restaurant in a mountain hamlet surrounded by nature feels like a secret getaway. It's about three minutes by car from Takaosan Interchange on the Keno Expressway. They serve savory cuisine made with seasonal ingredients cooked on the charcoal fire of their irori hearth. Their plump and tasty thick-cut charcoal grilled chicken is a popular. The shop alters its ambiance to coincide with the changing seasons. Visitors look out on cherry blossoms in spring, fireflies in the garden in summer, the colored foliage of fall, and winter's snowy cover. The photogenic location makes it in demand for business dinners and wedding receptions.

Individual rooms with personal meal preparation was a particular treat. The food was exquisite. The detail of which I have spoken to friends since 1986 was the fireflies. An announcement was made...

Tokyo Nishitamagunokutamamachi Otaba 175

Kamameshi Nakai, sitting in the mountains of Okutama, is a relaxed restaurant surrounded by nature. All the kamameshi (rice dish served in a pot) dishes served here are delicious but their bamboo shoot kamameshi and chestnut kamameshi served only in season are particularly popular. Their salt-grilled river fish, such as rock fish, ayu (sweetfish) and trout are not to be missed either.

紅葉が見頃の季節に、奥多摩温泉地に訪れ、ネットからのグルメ情報を頼りに、きのこ釜めしを美味しく賞味した。また是非来たい。

A formal restaurant founded in 1875 serving traditional kaiseki course cuisine located inside Ueno Park.

Wa-kitchen Kanna

Tokyo Setagaya-ku Shimouma 2-43-112F

This Japanese style restaurant, open since 2013, is in a quiet residential neighborhood near Setagaya Park. The quiet, spacious interior is perfect for long, relaxing meals. Their most popular item is the fluffy kakigori shaved ice made with ice from Nikko's Shougetsuhimuro. They top it with original sauces, and seasonal Japanese ingredients, and offer only items to make customers feel the deliciousness. They also make sure the appearance is cute, to please the eye as well as the palate. Our recommendation is the Tiramisu made with loads of mascarpone, and the mellow, Japanese style sweetness of Rich Purple Sweet Potato Milk.

Tokyo Bunkyou-ku Nedu 2-12-15

Located in a building in the Nezu part of Tokyo’s Bunkyo City that is designated as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property, this is an unusual spot to enjoy kushi-age (fried food on skewers) using plentiful servings of seasonal tastes. The restaurant, which is in an old three-story wooden house that survived the Great Kanto Earthquake, welcomes you with a very nostalgic atmosphere that is purely Japanese. Beginning with the “starter set” that features six types of kushi-age including carefully selected meat, fish, and vegetables and two types of shusai (appetizers to go with drinks), you can order an additional set or just one skewer at a time. There are also private dining rooms available for extra charge.

Love this place and try to visit every time Im n Tokyo. For a while it was closed but was pleasantly surprised when it re-opened. The lunch menu revolves around kushiage which is different items...

A restaurant specializing in goosefish cuisine located a five-minute walk from JR Akihabara Station and Kanda Station. This history-leaden restaurant was established at the end of the Edo period in 1830. Originally opened as a loach restaurant close to what is now Kyobashi 3 Chome, since the modern Taisho period this establishment has been beloved as the only dedicated goosefish restaurant in Tokyo. The old-fashioned and imposing restaurant building itself has been designated a Historic Building by the Tokyo government. In addition to the main dining area, the restaurant has relaxing private dining rooms where you can savor anko nabe, a flavorful hotpot steeped in tradition made with only the freshest goosefish from the Kazamaura Sea.

It was the first time for me to try monkfish. We enjoyed it with various cooking styles and they were all good. We also liked their old, traditional building.

Tanita Shokudo Restaurant opened in 2012 in Marunouchi. Every day it provides not only food but also events such as body composition measurement and dissemination of information about health in order to reconfirm the connection between food and health. The daily set menus are all around 500 calories, but they are filling, delicious, and nutritionally balanced. The food is even pleasing to the eye, so this popular restaurant gets high marks.

肌寒い夕刻だったので、おでんのお店へ。定番のおでん具材と熱燗の日本酒をいただきつつ、最後に豆腐めしでしめました。おでんの出汁の味を吸った豆腐とご飯の相性がすばらしかったです。

Another appeal to the restaurant is their menu of famous Japanese sake brands that have been carefully selected from each region across Japan. During dinner time the night view of Tokyo is beautiful, and during lunch time Mt. Fuji can be seen in the distance when the weather is fine. The luxurious atmosphere that also includes individual rooms is recommended for special occasions, celebrations or even entertaining for business.

This is always my favorite restaurant to go to in Tokyo. This restaurant really puts Park Hyatt Tokyo on the map. The meals are spectacular, the blowfish sashimi is awesome, saki is unmatched, and...
