Mitaka

Watching a top kaiseki chef is on par with watching a master in any of the other traditional Japanese arts: as delicate as calligraphy, as captivating as tea ceremony, and as beautiful as flower arranging. This top Tokyo kaiseki in Nishi Shinbashi is a great place to see all of this for yourself. They use seasonal ingredients such as pufferfish and plums to paint a delicious picture of the natural world of Japan. On the chef’s choice omakase menu (the only option available), the tofu skin with lotus root is a highlight, as is their famous tuna rice bowl. The meal always finishes with a sweet treat such as mochi, with a seasonal paste filling.
