Miyake Akira

Akira Miyake in Tokyo is more than a dining experience; it's a journey through Japanese culinary excellence. Their unagi eel stands out as one of the best I've ever tasted, with flavors that dance on the palate. The rest of the carefully planned menu is equally delightful and super delicious. What sets Akira Miyake apart is the English-speaking chef, who takes the time to explain every dish, enriching the experience and bridging the gap between cultures. This thoughtful touch adds an educational layer to an already exquisite meal, allowing guests to fully appreciate the artistry and tradition behind each dish. If you're in Tokyo, don't miss the chance to indulge in this authentic and extraordinary culinary adventure at Akira Miyake.

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Roppongi! The food & service are excellent and there are only 8 seats (you need a reservation). Why only 4 stars and not 5? Killing an animal for food is needed, but doing so has to occur with the least amount of pain possible. Chopping of the back of a lobster without actually killing it is cruel and unnecessary. Same for the eel, where one could chop off the head instead of starting to simply cut off the meat from a living being. No matter how good the food is, I cannot overlook this fact and this unnecessarily tarnishes the otherwise perfect experience guests will have here.

Low key hidden restaurant with some high quality courses👌🏻👌🏻
Not cheap, but worth it, I would recommend wine pairing if you’re planning to drink 🍶
