Miyako Wakemise

Without a reservation, it's almost impossible to get a seat in Miyako Wakemise. This sushi kaiseki restaurant preserves its traditional roots in terms of taste and decor. Unlike other sushi restaurants where the interior is modernized with polished counters, freshly painted walls and stylish tableware, dining at Miyako Wakemise is like traveling back to the Edo period. The spirit of historic Edo can be sensed in the sushi itself as well. Made from fresh ingredients selected from the market every morning, these premium picks are prepared in the most tranquil and peaceful ambiance, with the classic techniques of sushi craft. Highlight pieces include the sea urchin and abalone. On the higher end of the price spectrum, Miyako Wakemise has a dedicated tribe of regulars that appreciate the classiness of this restaurant's sushi, unimpressed with modern trends or fancy gimmicks.
