The Michelin Guide counts this as one of the best kaiseki restaurants in the world for its innovation and quality.

Restaurant Details

The fox statue at the entrance to this Azabujuban kaiseki restaurant represents the Shinto god of rice. Whether it’s down to the blessings of this divine mascot, or the sheer skill and dedication of the chef, Azabu Kadowaki has been one of the most consistently decorated restaurants in the Michelin Guide to Tokyo for years.


In the Michelin Guide Tokyo 2009, the restaurant was awarded two Michelin Stars, and 10 years later, was finally awarded its third star — something that many in the culinary scene agreed that was long-deserved. It was also listed on The World's Top 50 Restaurants briefly.


One of the secrets to Kadowaki's success is owner-chef Kadowaki Toshiya's willingness to incorporate techniques and ingredients from foreign cuisines, creating flavor-packed innovations like truffles with rice, and shark fin tempura. Guests are sure to be surprised and delighted by the inventive streak on display here, no matter how many kaiseki meals they may have had before.

2009 - 2 Michelin Stars

2019 - 3 Michelin Stars
