XEX TOKYO / Teppanyaki An

The 13th floor of the Daimaru Tokyo building is what can only be described by gourmets as paradise on earth. XEX TOKYO takes not one, not two, but three of the finest restaurant concepts and puts them together in a sprawling 880-sqm space. Of this trinity, Teppanyaki An is the only one to simultaneously offer a stunning view of the Tokyo night skyline while still affording the intimacy of tableside grilling. Its grills are spacious, sweeping stainless steel arcs that give guests plenty of room to relax while still preserving a sense of closeness. XEX’s chefs are masters of the culinary art form, providing casual conversation while also effortlessly grilling up wagyu beef, fresh seafood and seasonal vegetables into courses that tantalize all five senses. As is traditionally the case with teppanyaki, the beef is the centerpiece of the meal, but Teppanyaki An’s course menus also incorporate the specialties of Motoshiro Saito, founder of famed Western-style Japanese restaurant Shunkotei. Menu items like cheese miso fondue meet grilled wagyu beef, making for a deeply interesting dining experience.
