Restaurants in Japan

A truly memorable dinner! The course is themed around the history of life on Earth, so each dish is named after a different era, like the “birth of the ocean” or “fluorishing of mammals. The theme carries through everything, down to the cutlery and how each plate is served. The food mixes Latin flavors with Japanese ingredients like mochi, which isn’t a combination you come across often in Japan. My favorite part was the textures. Each dish felt different, and I never quite knew what to expect next. It’s dark and cozy inside, but the lighting makes the food stand out even more. The staff explained the idea behind each dish in English, which helped me appreciate what I was eating. One thing to know: portions are on the small side, so if you have a big appetite, you might not leave completely full. A good pick for a birthday, anniversary, or special night out, or if you just want to try something different in Ginza.

"I've been to a lot of restaurants with course menus, but this was unlike anything I've experienced before. It was a true culinary journey as well as a journey through time! Every dish was beautifully presented, incredibly flavorful, and full of interesting combinations of ingredients and textures. You could definitely taste the South American influences, which made the experience even more unique. One of my favorite courses was The Flourishing of Mammals — Primates, which featured mochi and had such a lovely combination of textures and wonderful flavors. I also really enjoyed the main course. Even the cutlery rests were interesting, including one made from bones! The dessert was perfectly balanced and not too sweet, which was a lovely way to finish the meal. Overall, it was a really creative and memorable dining experience, with surprising flavors and thoughtful details throughout."

Intimate atmosphere with friendly staff and amazing food. You can tell the food is carefully prepared and you will stay wanting to order one of everything. Great experience!

Food was great! We really enjoyed the seasonal dishes, reasonable pricing, and prompt, friendly service. Would totally go again!

Amazing and surprising

This was the highlight of our trip to Kanazawa. The food was excellent in taste and so beautifully presented it seemed like art. The atmosphere was amazing -- a Japanese wooden house set in a beautiful garden with windows all around. And the service was great, friendly and attentive. This was a definite winner. Do this!

Hokkaido is famous of its top notch seafood quality and Sushi Sublime delivered it very well. Super satisfied!

Our dinner was one of the finest, most creative meal we’ve had since arriving in Japan. Wish we were staying longer so we could come back and try other dishes.

The sushi was exceptional, with fresh, high-quality fish sourced from different regions of Japan. Every piece was carefully prepared, highlighting the fish’s natural umami and unique texture. The homemade pickled ginger was delicious, egg custard with crab was magnificent and the service was impeccable, with friendly staff who explained each dish. The peaceful atmosphere and traditional Japanese tea room made the entire experience truly special along with homemade delicious mochis. Highly recommended for an authentic omakase experience in Tokyo!

Excellent cuisine. Chef was very hospitable and knowledgeable. Enjoyed our meal.

Lovely, intimate sushi spot where I had dinner on my second night in Kyoto. The courses were delicious and beautifully presented. The staff was so kind. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories that I will take back to NYC 🩷
