We had a fantastic time here! I booked dinner at Fujiyoshi for my larger group of friends and everyone agreed the meal was amazing, the courses were exciting, and the general atmosphere was nice and cosy. Our host (I’m sorry but I can’t remember her name) was superb and made great recommendations for sake pairings, and other suggestions based on our preferences. Thank you for being so accommodating! I would 100% recommend this place to anyone wanting a nice meal with a personal touch.

Restaurant in Kyoto
I honestly cannot recommend Toka An highly enough. The food was some of the best I've ever had in my life, every course was absolutely delicious. By the time we got to the steamed fish course we were getting very full and weren't able to finish it, so the chef made onigiri with the leftovers for us to take away with us! The ambience in the private dining room was lovely, very calm and with beautiful background music at the perfect volume - just enough to hear clearly without intruding. We were served by the chef and her mother, who were both an absolute delight, and we had a really lovely conversation with the chef after our meal. Toka An is a bit out of the way (about an hour outside Hiroshima by local train), but is more than worth the effort to get there. Our lunch at Toka An was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Japan and we've already decided that we'll be going back next time we're able to travel to Japan, no question.

Excellent food and service that highlighted about ten different cuts and preparations of local beef, as well as other seasonal specialties (autumn is mushroom season, so they were definitely present). Excellent sake selections available, as well. Restaurant is located on the premises of a small hotel on a quiet street near public transportation.

Kaiseki Restaurants in Tokyo

There is no more authentic Japanese dining experience than kaiseki. This iconic cuisine is the pinnacle of refinement, in which culinary auteurs present the best ingredients of the season in a series of small dishes for an exclusive audience of diners.

Since kaiseki is based so much on the seasons and the individual chef’s inspiration, you’ll never know exactly what to expect. One dish could be a grilled sweet-fish treat cooked over a burning pit of coals, the next a platter of wild vegetable tempura harvested just that very morning. One thing you can always expect, however, is gorgeous presentation. Inspired by traditional Japanese tea ceremony, kaiseki was developed in old Kyoto as a feast for each and every one of the senses.

If that all sounds very fancy, that’s because it kind of is! The very best kaiseki restaurants in Japan have three Michelin stars and waiting lists up to two years long, meaning kaiseki can often seem sealed off inside highly exclusive circles. But don’t despair — with plenty of top kaiseki restaurants to choose from, our English-language restaurant reservation service gives you the inside track to access this fascinating world of tantalizing tradition. What are you waiting for?
