Tanimoto Review Summary

Kaiseki fine dining in the heart of Tokyo. Excellent food paired with excellent service.

Sake and wine selection is also good and diverse.

Pricy but there's a lot of food.

Sushi, shabu-shabu, and Japanese BBQ far surpass this.

The food here is mediocre, not worth the price or time. Honestly, I don't like the seasoning or the dishes served. If I had known how it tasted, I wouldn’t have spent my time, even if it were just a tenth of the cost.

Given the overwhelmingly positive reviews, I feel compelled to share my experience.

In my opinion, it’s the restaurant's responsibility to demonstrate that traditional Japanese cuisine is superior to the popular Japanese options and worth it or at least try harder to achieve it. The taste alone simply is disappointed.

An excellent meal, and remarkable value for the quality and volume of food. I appreciated the careful pace and rhythm of the meal, which allows for a lot of food without feeling too full. The soup course and grilled course were especially delicious, but the overall course was well designed and executed. Perhaps the best high-end Japanese cuisine I've had in Tokyo. I will be back. P.S. the mango pictured was outrageously delicious!

Amazing place if you enjoy kaiseki. I like it that all the dishes look so clean yet still full of flavor. Would definitely come back!!

Food was incredible but there was no air flow in the room and was incredibly hot / stuffy with stale air. Really took away from the experience unfortunately
