Marutomi

Situated in Takadanobaba, just to the north of Shinjuku, is this high-quality kaiseki restaurant which proudly holds a Michelin star. When you take your seat, you’ll be given a handwritten menu detailing the dishes on the omakase set-course, which changes month after month. High quality Kyoto style dishes can be expected, such as lotus root salad, sea urchin wrapped in beef, snow crab, and a range of other top quality wagyu dishes using meat sourced from a supplier in the owner’s hometown of Iwate. If your budget permits, consider raising the experience to the level of total perfection by opting to add the sake pairings, with a glass provided for each separate dish.
