An Unforgettable Sushi Experience in Tokyo!
I visited Okuakasaka Sushi Tanji with two friends, and it was easily one of our favorite dining experiences in Japan. The minimalist interior creates a peaceful and elegant atmosphere from the moment you walk in.
Every dish felt refined and carefully prepared. Each piece of sushi had a wonderful balance of umami, sweetness, and saltiness. The aged fish was buttery and tender, pairing beautifully with the warm, seasoned sushi rice. The aged tuna nigiri was a highlight, as was the straw-grilled smoked fish with its wonderful aroma. The beautiful Japanese ceramics also made every course a pleasure to look at.
The chefs and staff were warm and welcoming and spoke excellent English, making the experience very comfortable for international guests. The intimate hinoki cypress counter also added to the special atmosphere.
One of the best surprises came at the end. We were led into a hidden traditional tatami tea room, where the chef prepared fresh matcha served with a seasonal wagashi sweet. It was a peaceful and memorable way to finish the evening.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special omakase experience in Tokyo!

The food at Sushi Tanji was the main highlight of the experience. Each piece of sushi felt carefully prepared, with a good balance between the softness of the fish and the texture of the rice. Some pieces were richer and fattier, while others were lighter and cleaner, so the omakase never felt repetitive. The flavours were fresh, delicate and well balanced rather than overly salty or heavy.
What surprised me most was the dessert at the end. The matcha was prepared in front of me in a small traditional room, which made it feel much more special. It was slightly bitter and earthy, and it paired perfectly with the muscat daifuku. The daifuku was soft and chewy, while the muscat inside was extremely juicy and sweet. Honestly, the matcha and muscat daifuku were probably my favourite part of the whole meal. The sushi was excellent, but that final combination was what I remembered most after leaving.

such a special and memorable experience! 🍣🍵✨
The sushi was amazing, and I loved how the chefs explained where each fish came from. I could ask questions and even learn how to pronounce some of the fish names in Japanese, so I actually learned a lot during the meal. I normally don’t like squid or scallop, but this was the first sushi restaurant where I genuinely enjoyed the scallop!
But the absolute highlight was the tea ceremony. 🍵 I had never experienced matcha like this before. I always thought matcha prepared with water was supposed to be very bitter, but this was incredibly smooth, rich and delicious. We were also served a traditional Japanese sweet alongside it, which was the perfect way to finish the experience.
I was also completely surprised by the hidden tea room! The whole concept is so unique and intimate, and I think it would be perfect for a birthday, anniversary, date, or any special occasion.
If you’re travelling all the way to Japan, I really believe you should treat yourself to experiences like this. It’s so much more than just dinner it’s food, Japanese culture, hospitality and craftsmanship all in one unforgettable experience.
The chefs were also incredibly polite and welcoming… and very handsome men, I have to say.

Not your usual yakiniku. The course menu lets you taste wagyu in different forms, like a stew and a beef tail soup, plus different cuts such as tongue. The meat quality was great, every course was delicious, and the staff were very friendly. It is right next to Omotesando Station (Exit B3), so it is very easy to find.

Yakiniku no GANSAN was a great restaurant and the meat was fantastic. We had the recommended Matsusaka platter and it was worth it. Although we preferred not to have wagyu in a Yakiniku restaurant, someone who we suspected was either the head chef or butcher came to explain how to cook each cut. The platter is made for 3-4 people bur all 4 of us was comfortably full. It was our first time eating at a Yakiniku restaurant with wagyu and was at first stressful, but after the first 2 cuts we became experts. The Chateaubriand cut was our favorite and if you only had one, that’s the one I recommend. Service was fantastic but there wasn’t a lot of interaction as we cooked our own meals.

What a find. What a place! Tucked away and little bit of a walk but so worth it. The room has genuine old world charm. The service is so freindly despite the language barrier. The food is epic. Hida beef is awesome. We went back for seconds of the magnolia leaf beef. And the price is very reasonable.
If you're in Takayama and want a fabulouse dining experience then this is it. Just go!

Our experience at YAKINIKUMAFIA IKEBURO was fantastic, and the highlight was definitely the meat. The wagyu was incredibly tender and flavorful, and each cut had its own texture and taste. The show when they cut the meat was also very entertaining and fun!
I especially enjoyed experiencing the wagyu in different ways throughout the meal. The richness of the meat paired well with the other dishes, and every course felt carefully thought out.
The ramen at the end was a nice touch. The broth had a deep, rich flavor and was a satisfying way to finish the meal.
The staff were incredibly kind and energetic. Their enthusiasm made the atmosphere lively and fun while still feeling professional.
Overall, the high-quality wagyu, variety of flavors and textures, and great service made this a memorable experience. I would happily recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy Japanese wagyu in a fun and welcoming atmosphere.

Had dinner at Yakiniku Mafia Ikebukuro and really enjoyed it.
The meat was fantastic. I go to yakiniku places pretty often and like trying different grades of meat, and the quality here was definitely up there. Everything tasted great on its own, to the point where you really didn’t need any extra seasoning. Usually a good sign when the meat is that good.
I also really liked the seating. They have this huge counter that seats around 25 people, which is pretty unusual compared to the smaller 8-seat counters you often see in omakase places. It gives the whole place a lively, open atmosphere. There are also regular tables in the back if you’re coming with a group.
Next, the staff. Super high energy, very respectful, and they took the time to explain everything properly. You could tell they actually cared about how the food was presented and served.
We were a group of four, and if I had one small improvement, I probably would’ve liked just a little more meat. But with the veggies and the final “ramen” they cook using all the flavor from the meat, we all still left satisfied.
Easy 5 stars from me. Would definitely go back, which I don’t say quite often! Arigato!

I thought the presentation of the food was a bit basic, for the price. And meat of such good quality should be presented in a nicer way.
The meat was delicious, a good portion and very soft. We had various cuts (although it wasn’t explained what each cut was) the variety was good I felt.
The flavour was good, a good amount of fattiness, very soft and melt in the mouth.
I thought the meat was fresh and it wasn’t chewy at all. Just very soft and easy to eat.
I was not particular surprised by anything.
Probably some of the cuts of meat were really good, the melt in the mouth texture was excellent (can’t say exactly which cut as we didn’t know)
The presentation was far too basic, the silver plates felt a little cheap. But the box with the chopsticks was a nice touch.
The meat accompanied by vegetables was good, I think the vegetables refreshed the taste between bites of meat. The ramen was a surprise and the soup was salty without being too rich. Probably the best thing about the restaurant is the service. It was above many other places with a very lively atmosphere and the staff were very enthusiastic about their jobs which was great to see. They were attentive and the service was quick.
