Ajidokoro Mochizuki

Tucked away on a charming street just a few minutes west of Nagoya Station is a private kaiseki restaurant that deserves way more exposure than it has currently. The cuisine served at Mochizuki combines carefully-picked ingredients from all over the country with top-notch culinary technique. On top of their omakase course set, the staff at the restaurant are always in high spirits to suggest the best choice of alcoholic beverages to accompany your dish. The attention to detail is not limited to just the food, but also to the experience. The presentation of the restaurant, choice of dining ware and service are all carefully measured too. Mochizuki believes in bringing the best of the seasons, hence the dishes accommodate the freshest picks of each. Some to look out for are the signature sakizuke, nimono soup, raw nori chazuke, otsukuri sashimi and mizumono. At an astoundingly affordable price for such supreme quality, Mochizuki is one not to be missed.
