I had such a lovely dining experience here! From the beautifully presented dishes to the warm and welcoming service, everything made the evening feel really special.
I especially appreciated how foreign-friendly the restaurant is. The chef takes the time to explain each dish in English, which makes it even more enjoyable when trying traditional Japanese ingredients and preparations.
My favorites were the Bluefin Tuna with Wasabi Soy Sauce, the Sukiyaki-style Wagyu Beef with Burdock Tempura, and the Japanese ceramic kettle-cooked rice with side dishes and red miso soup. Everything was thoughtfully prepared.
The staff made the experience even better. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and fun to be around. They even joined my videos, which made filming effortless and enjoyable.
With its intimate atmosphere, attentive service, and welcoming team, I think this is a beautiful spot for couples and date nights. A wonderful combination of delicious food, great hospitality, and memorable moments!

I love that SHARI Akasaka staff and chefs gave me the opportunity to come by and give them a review! Arigato gozaimasu!
|My experience here was absolutely amazing. The staff were really friendly and professional, and they made the experience comfortable and fun. From the set up to the dishes and how everything was presented, they did a phenomenal job. The restaurant is also very foreign-friendly, and the chefs take their time explaining each dish to you in English.
|The Kaiseki Course had me shocked! Each dish was carefully prepared and exploded with flavor. My favorites were the Shine Muscat in Tofu Dressing with Seared Barracuda Sushi, Tilefish & Deep-fried Sesame Tofu in Kudzu Sauce, and Sukiyaki-style Wagyu Beef & Burdock Tempura. The other dishes were just as amazing, so it was really hard to choose my favorites.
|I would really recommend this place to foreigners who want to experience Japanese cuisine. They also have menus in English and Japanese, so there is no Google Translate or confusion!
This is honestly a remarkable place. I really loved every second of the experience!

Had such a lovely dinner at Mitaki Teppanyaki!
I tried the Suiren Course and really enjoyed the whole experience. Everything was beautifully presented, and the ingredients were fresh and delicious. The chef was also really friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable.
And… I tried wasabi for the first time and it’s not as bad as I thought!
The atmosphere was elegant but still comfortable, and it felt like a really nice place for a date night or special dinner. Definitely a memorable teppanyaki experience, and I’d love to come back again!

Such a unique dining experience at Saime! 🌿✨
Saime serves cuisine inspired by the Jomon period, an ancient era of Japan, with ingredients slowly cooked and roasted in earthenware. As a vegetarian, I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed the meal. Even something as simple as roasted pumpkin and bell peppers tasted incredibly flavourful.
And their miso paste… SO good! 😂 I basically ended up slathering it onto everything.
My absolute favourite part was the warabi mochi at the end, paired with their basil herbal tea — such a beautiful and comforting way to finish the meal.
What also stood out to me was how naturally vegetarian-friendly the cuisine is. With the Jain festival period going on right now, I immediately thought about how wonderful this place could be for people following Jain dietary preferences as well. Finding Japanese food that can be adapted to be Jain-friendly is incredibly rare, so this felt really special.

I really enjoyed dinner at Saime Restaurant. Not only was the food amazing, but the whole atmosphere was wonderful. It’s a small venue with only eight seats, and it feels like something between a restaurant and a museum.
The earthenware plates make you experience the flavors differently, and trying the vegetables separately before the main dish opens up a whole new layer of tastes.
I really enjoy how simplicity is mixed with sophistication in this place, and I would love to recommend it not only to vegetarians, but to anyone who wants to enjoy healthy cuisine.

Welcome to dining. That is: Welcome to Saime. Vegan, slow-food apostles, and allergy sufferers alike, your sanctuary is here!
I highly recommend Saime to any and all who are looking for a dining experience that harkens back to a simpler age. Being Jomon-era inspired, the earthenware slow-cooked vegetables can either speak for themselves, or be enjoyed with salt or miso. We tried the vegan set, which was prepared without the use of any oils, but they also have sets that include fish and meat, as well.
The vegetables themselves are primarily grown and picked by the staff, and the tea and dessert were also made by hand from scratch. It will be readily apparent to any discerning visitor that there is intentionality packed into each dish, from the taste, to the presentation, to the environment.
Please do yourself a favor, and book an evening at Saime.

We very much enjoyed our experience at
SAIME! The host is very kind and walks you through each course’s featured ingredient and the cooking process. Each dish is crafted with the utmost care and time!
While the dishes are simple, they pack a powerful flavor profile that harmoniously fits the miso and salt given to you as condiments.
This experience is not only allergy and vegan friendly, but it’s also a journey into the seasonal flavors of Japan. You’ll find yourself in awe of how good veggies can taste and have your curiosity peaked on how to inspire deeper, richer tastes from local ingredients.
Eating from earthenware pots with minimal utensils will leave you feeling more connected with your food.
I highly recommend this restaurant for those with food restrictions or those who want to rekindle their relationship with food.

This was one of the best meals I had in Japan (and possibly ever). We chose the sake pairing and it was well worth the extra cost. Every course was perfectly prepared and more delicious than the last. The chefs were immensely talented and a joy to get to know. The polaroid picture, painted fan and allowing us to paint our plates were icing on top of the cake. While it may be pricey, it's worth every penny. Definitely try and book in advance since there are only 8 seats.
