Kitaohji Shinagawa Saryo

You might be in Shinagawa, one of Tokyo's busiest transport hubs, but stepping into Kitaohji Shinagawa Saryo transports you to a tranquil sukiyaki haven, far removed from the city's bustle. Here, staff in traditional kimonos guide you to bespoke private rooms, where tables are set low against tatami floors, all designed in the classic sukiya-zukuri architecture. For over 80 years, Kitaohji Shinagawa Saryo has been a cherished venue, hosting generations of regulars under the philosophy of "ichi-go ichi-e" (one time, one meeting), ensuring each visit is uniquely memorable. The menu showcases exquisite precision across dishes like swordfish, octopus and tamagoyaki (Japanese-style omelet), along with seasonal offerings. Aside from the kaiseki course, you can choose from two distinct sukiyaki courses, each featuring indulgent, fatty beef simmered to personal perfection in individual hot pots. Begin or complement your meal with a selection of smooth sake sourced from Niigata and Yamagata prefectures. From festive end-of-year gatherings to intimate birthday celebrations, Kitaohji Shinagawa Saryo makes sure their hospitality is tailored to the occasion.
