Vegetarian Kaiseki Restaurants

We were seated right at the teppanyaki counter, directly in front of the grill. The room holds only a handful of seats, which makes the whole evening feel private and unhurried. The chef is warm and easy to talk to, the ingredients are clearly high quality, and every dish was delicious. A memorable evening from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Chef Makoto gave us a truly memorable evening at Teppanyaki Mitaki Akasaka. We came through a byFood reservation, and from the first course to the last, the quality of his ingredients and the skill in how he handled them made for a meal that was both delicious and remarkably well balanced. Our heartfelt thanks to Chef Makoto and the team. We recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

An unassuming entrance that is genuinely hard to find, but a warm welcome the moment you step inside. Chef Makoto's technique and timing were remarkable throughout. The sesame tofu converted me on a dish I usually skip, and the Daisen chicken soup was outstanding, with real depth and a lovely thyme aroma. The tasting menu flowed beautifully from course to course, and the chef walked us through each local ingredient before it hit the plate. Good soft drink options too. Thank you to Chef Makoto and the byFood team.

This was such a fun experience! The food was amazing! The atmosphere was perfect. The place is very small so the service is very personalized. One of my favorite dining experiences.

Charming and delightful setting with excellent service and food. We enjoyed traditional Kyoto cuisine in a private tatami room.

Amazing dinner. Super ambiance and staff. Entertaining chef!

It was one of the highlights during our 2 weeks in Japan. The restaurant is set in a very peaceful neighborhood away from the busy streets of Tokyo. The food was divine and the service is brilliant. Absolutely living up to expectations.

It was a great experience. Everything was perfect. I can recommend this restaurant, you have to try it.

Kudashita Juhaku is like taking an evening stroll down Edo Lane. The presentation will make you feel like royalty. The food and flavors are sublime and feels so nourishing. For us, it was a delightful collection of new foods and experiences. We highly recommend the Rock Fish and Crab for your main course. The people who served us were so sweet and helpful. We will be back and we will bring friends.

Absolutely amazing! So fresh and delicious. Prepared right in front of us. This was a really special evening.

Our meal here was so amazing. Everything from start to finish was delicious and presented beautifully. It was so fun to watch the chef prepare each course. He was so fun and laughed with us and seemed to enjoy cooking as much as we enjoyed eating the food. We were allowed and even encouraged to take photos of the food. I was nervous about liking the fancy food but it was so nicely prepared with interesting flavors I ate everything and enjoyed the experience. Truly a one of a kind meal worth every penny.

The food was exceptional, definitely would come back to try on a different season and see how different the dishes would come out. Service was great from start to end. The atmosphere was very welcoming.
