We decided to splurge at Yakiniku for our last day in Tokyo. I wanted to do an omakase experience and since I do not eat seafood, this seemed like a great experience. It is an intimate space accomodating only about 8 guests at one time. It was great to watch the team work in front of us and loved the ability to interact. The food was exceptional and we really enjoyed it especially the onion cream, wagu with egg yolk and the foie gras. The multiple, well thought out courses make sure that you are well filled by the end of the meal and just in case, you have a large appetite, there is also an unlimited rice course at the end of the meal. The dessert was really good too with the creamiest vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries. They even give you a takeout bento box which really hit the spot the next morning Of note, If you do have allergies, you may have to be cautious as the same meals were served for all patrons despite us mentioning during and reaching out prior that I do not eat seafood. Thankfully I am not allergic and I let my husband have my portion. Overall, we had a great experience and loved it. Would have liked quiter environment (But that had more to do with the other loud guests and not really under the control of the restaurant)

The best meal I have ever had. Every course was delicious and prepared perfectly. The atmosphere and attention to detail was incredible. The staff were courteous and attentive at all times. I don't know if any places will ever live up to the incredibly high bar that Yakiniku kappo note has set.
