Complements to the Chef, Takeshi Narikiyo!

The restaurant is intimate, and the food sophisticated.

We went for the ¥9,800 (10,780 incl. Tax) and we were blown away by the excellent value the meal presented. Between the quality of ingredients and the time/technique required for each dish, there's simply NO WAY there's any margins to be made at that price - look at the photos!

Anyway, their loss = our gain.

The one "downer" for us was that the service staff spoke ZERO English. We appreciate that their main goal is to serve locals, and certainly we are not trying to impose a foreign language on others - but perhaps at least they could have printed a menu in English or simply Google translated their dish descriptions so that the staff and us annoying foreign guests, do not have to go through 10 courses of awkwardness; whereby they are painstakingly describing each dish in Japanese and we are sat there nodding blankly.

Overall an excellent experience, which is highly recommended.

Went over a year ago for my mom and my birthday. Very hidden and around ten min by walk from Akasaka. The interior is white and calm and you feel relaxed. Every dish was on the smaller side so you could enjoy each dish without getting too full which I enjoyed. Their bday plates are cute too!

Honestly, this restaurant is exceeding NARISAWA and is out of the radar of the Micheline team. This is unbelievable for them to miss out. I feel very privileged to find such a dark horse of future Micheline three starts.
