Yugyoan Tankuma Kitamise (Tokyo Dome Hotel)

This high-end Kyoto-style kaiseki restaurant is located in the upmarket Tokyo Dome Hotel — part of the dining, shopping, and entertainment complex which sprung up around the famous baseball stadium. Here you can enjoy a multi-course meal of seasonal small dishes, prepared with elegance, beautiful aesthetics, and a real respect for tradition. Wagyu sirloin fillet, boiled snow crab, bamboo shoots with rice — the exact dishes move with the seasons, so it’s impossible to predict exactly what will be on the menu on any given day. The recurring theme, however, is totally quality. The restaurant also serves teppanyaki, tempura, and sushi with their own partitioned sections. The interior is an attractive mix, combining all the best elements of past and present — a mix of traditional Japanese design and the trappings of a modern luxury hotel.
