Nakamura Description

Located in the Kagurazaka neighborhood of Tokyo, Nakamura is a renowned restaurant specializing in teppanyaki and steak. With its impressive accolades, including the 2023 Bronze Tabelog Award and being selected as one of the top 100 teppanyaki and steak restaurants in 2022, Nakamura sets itself apart as a must-visit dining establishment.

Upon entering Nakamura, guests are greeted by a beautifully crafted 230-year-old solid wood counter and a large teppan grill, specially designed for the restaurant. The decor exudes a sense of tradition and elegance, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Great service. I thought Kobe beef could be better and I’ve had better. But still superb overall!

We had this for the last dinner in Tokyo, thanks to our hotel concierge that helped us make the reservation when we first arrived.

Non-locals do take note as it’s easier for a local fo help as restaurants that we tried to make reservation are non-english speaking.

The whole experience is pretty amazing with the attention given to the food and services. All the items were extremely fresh, and most important the chef is very accommodating as one of us can’t take raw food.

The best dishes got to be the kobe beef (both cuts) and lobster. Just perfect cooking skills and flavours, that was the highlight of the meal.

We do find the prices a bit more steep compare to other establishments as both of us paid ¥120,000 for the meal and 3 drinks.

Will still recommend this to anyone looking for too quality teppanyaki, especially their top grade kobe beef and customer service.
