Sushi Hazuki
The choicest quality sushi with specially selected seafood in Shimomaruko
Age: 50's Date of visit: 1/2018 Number of visits: 1 Purpose: With friend
Food is very good quality. Chef is very engaging. Love to go back again!
Age: 30's Date of visit: 12/2017 Number of visits: 1 Purpose: Date
Food was exceptional. Very nice omakase experience with a very nice chef. My personal favourites are the oyster and the uni. Thank you very much for being so accommodating to change us to a later seating on the same day.
Kioicho Mitani
A well-known restaurant with difficulty making a reservation, a fresh hospitable setting
Age: 40's Date of visit: 11/2018 Number of visits: 1 Purpose: With friend
Attentive staffs, excellent food
Age: 20's Date of visit: 8/2018 Number of visits: 1 Purpose: With family
Every course we had was perfect and the wine pairing genuinely was also superb! Staff were very friendly and the dining setting was casual - they made the whole experience remarkable!
HOMMAGE
Famous gourmet guide 2 star French, showing all the respect to its location, Asakusa Tokyo
Age: 40's Date of visit: 1/2019 Number of visits: 1 Purpose: Other
We absolutely loved our experience at Hommage. Every dish was delicious - we particularly enjoyed the Beetroot tartar, Lilyroot salad, Sweet tomato salad, Amadi fish, the beef and all the desserts! The straight-out-of-the oven financiers were a lovely touch! We also enjoyed the warm service provided by the Hommage team. We love to engage and share a laugh with the people who work so hard to make these experiences special ones - and the team at Hommage definitely delivered. We moved to Tokyo this week to live for three years. We expect that we will return to Hommage more than once when friends and family visit. Thank you so much!
Nishiazabu Otake
Enjoy the taste of the season to the fullest with a menu that features dishes from a prominent restaurant, as well as original fare.
Age: 40's Date of visit: 9/2018 Number of visits: 1 Purpose: With friend
This was an excellent evening. Mr Otake greeted us very warmly. The drinks menu has an English translation, and Mr Otake cleverly provided English translation for the food with his smart phone.
The choice of drinks was excellent. We started with Ayala champagne before moving onto Sake (Mr Otake’s selection).
The food was sensational. Every course was full of flavour and beautifully executed with fine seasonal ingredients.
Throughout the two hour and a half hours we were treated to careful excellent preparation and friendly service.
This feast is half the price of some restaurants we visited in Tokyo and that can only be because Mr Otake has not yet had time to earn the Famous gourmet guide stars and reviews to charge international prices! I would recommend booking this restaurant now while it retains its authentic magic.
Sushi Nakamura
A new style of Edomae-style sushi with an unique sense
Age: 40's Date of visit: 9/2018 Number of visits: 1 Purpose: With friend
Despite sushi being a somewhat serious affair, dining at Nakamura does not feel intimidating, especially for non-Japanese speaking guests like us. Chef Nakamura-san is attentive but you can also catch him smiling at his guests. He seems genuinely hospitable.
We enjoyed the range of fish and shell-fish served, and the perfect balance of neta to shari. The ikura and uni were some of the best that we've tasted - crisp, clean, savoury and sweet at the same time. My companion who does not usually like ikura, admits that Nakamura's sushi was the "life-changing" piece.
We enjoyed our meal, and would like to return every season if we can!
Takumi
Bring Tokyo a New Breeze, the Original Sensitive Approach of a Famous gourmet guide 1-star restaurant
Age: 40's Date of visit: 4/2018 Number of visits: 1 Purpose: Anniversary
My wife and I love the restaurant very much. You can tell the chef had given a lot of thoughts into each dish and it just turned out perfectly. I always love small restaurant and Takumi is just about right. The wine was well matched with the food and they are inexpensive. We will revisit again.
Ginza Iwa
A Famous gourmet guide 1-star sushi restaurant expressing the true season via the technique and discernment
Age: 30's Date of visit: 2/2019 Number of visits: 1 Purpose: Other
Shiro-ebi, kanpachi, hotate, and unagi were especially delicious today. I was very impressed by and grateful for the chef’s skills and exceptional understanding of delicate tastes. It was worth visiting, and I’d like to visit the restaurant again.
Age: 20's Date of visit: 1/2019 Number of visits: 1 Purpose: Date
Experiencing our first omakase here at Ginza Iwa was amazing. The preparation of each course was beautifully done and tasted delectable. I recommend Ginza Iwa to anyone who wants to experience sushi at its finest.
Restaurant Ryuzu
Genuine skills that bring out the best of seasonal ingredients
Age: 30's Date of visit: 5/2018 Number of visits: 1 Purpose: Date
Everything from start to finish was incredible. One of the best meals I've eaten here in Tokyo hands down.
Age: 50's Date of visit: 4/2018 Number of visits: 1 Purpose: With family
The service is very good, the food is delicate and delicious, it really is the 2 star level of Famous gourmet guide The interior environment is elegantly arranged and comfortable. We look forward to the next coming!
