It was a true pleasure to dine at the restaurant of one of my culinary heroes, Chef Sakai Hiroyuki.

The service was gracious and attentive.

The vision of each dish and wine pairing was touched upon in a concise way without being overbearing.

The attention to detail on each plate was impeccable and felt like a shame to ruin by eating.

A special place for special occasions.

Although we didn't see Sakai-san we had an amazing time here.

Our waiter who spoke great English (for those non-japanese speakers) also told us that he generally takes Sundays off.

Food, service atmosphere all 10/10. Would come back again.

Conclusion: Impeccable flavors, service, ambiance. Those who are fans of the Iron Chef will not be disappointed. Exceeds some US-based 2/3-star Michelin Restaurants without exaggeration.

We visited as a party of two in November 2023, on our last day in Tokyo.

We arrived a couple minutes after our lunch reservation time but was graciously received and whisked away efficiently, but not rushed, to our table.

Ambiance was one of elegance, but not stiff.

We elected for Hiroyuki Sakai's signature course, which is represented on the reservation website as "坂井宏行スペシャルメニュー".

I will not go into detail of each dish, but they represented an escalation of seafoods and poultry and beef, where vegetables were just as much the star. Dessert, depending on your course, involves some degree of welcomed choice or interactivity.

It goes without saying that the ingredients were fresh and high quality. But happily, the execution in presentation, combination of favors, and attention to detail exceeded any standards demanded by the ingredients.

Television fans like us will hopefully find the dishes nostalgic, surprising yet familiar, as we did.

Wine pairings as recommended by the sommelier were complementary to the meal and does not stray into decadence.
Offerings represented a global variety. Starting with the seasonal Aperitif recommended.

Final advise: If you are booking a reservation, be careful to book the correct branch. Each branch offer its own distinct reservation slots.
