A Renewed Wave of Italian-Japanese Fusion in Tokyo's Culinary Scene

"A legendary Italian restaurant in Tokyo known for its fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisine. Originally opened by chef Yoji Tokuyoshi, it's now led by Hidehito Hirayama. The restaurant serves unique dishes like tuna sashimi with prosciutto and beef tongue with daikon."

ALTER EGO

"ALTER EGO is the Tokyo outpost of Yoji Tokuyoshi, who runs the main location in Milan. The walls are the same shade of green as the original, and the concept is ‘Italian food with Japanese ingredients’. Examples of their approach include frit of shiitake mushrooms coated with salted and dried grey mullet roe, and bamboo shoots brushed with fish sauce and grilled. Ingredients such as firefly squid, sakura shrimp and Yezo deer are paired with either handmade or dried pasta, depending on the texture desired." - Michelin Inspector

Amazing dining experience and would for sure come back. Made booking via TableCheck for 8pm but the restaurant was able to accommodate our early arrival. First floor is all counter-seat and we sat in a private room on the second floor. We did a la carte for food and wine pairing (¥14,000 per person) for six glass of wines. It was well worth it and would highly recommend. Wines are mainly from Italy. Loved the wine pairing for Prosciutto and Pear & Mozzarella. Essentially, every dish is nicely done with something to remember.

We had the course meal 15,000¥ pp and the food and service was amazing (not all pictures are featured below). We sat at the counter so the chefs were right in front of us however we did not get a view of the actual cooking. For the wagyu they let us choose our knife which was a lovely touch. They also had 5 options for dessert. It was a shame that they ran out of beer however it was an enjoyable night.

One of the best Italian places in Tokyo, especially when you want to enjoy Italian wine and liquor. Very knowledgeable and friendly sommelier who can serve you your desired wine. Food is above average. Definitely recommended.

Delish meal with soup pairing. Friendly staff and nice ambience. Meal isn’t too long, just the right pace. Most of the dishes I enjoyed. I was not a huge fan of the bonet but this is prob just personal preference.

FANTASTIC! The Wagyu without a doubt was the best I have ever tasted and the desert. The white wine matched perfectly.

Great meal. Easily a top highlight of Italian cuisine. Must visit. Great wine list pricing also

Pretty overpriced overall. The onion soup with mushrooms was superb, as was the prosciutto. I also liked the small polenta cubes they served as a snack (I wonder why they aren’t in the menu). But the piadina and the pasta were just OK: they were well done, but lacked punch and flavor

Great fine dining experience at Alter Ego. Carefully prepared and thought of course with plenty of surprises. The ingredients were well presented making the experience long lasting. Really enjoyed our meal, soup and wine pairing. You get a full team of staff that is serious about fine dining. Very English friendly and for us, worth the price for the 15,000 yen course plus 6,000 yen wine pairing. Well done.

This place is very hidden, like in between in an alley way! I wouldn't expect a restaurant to be there! In the US it would seem so sketchy but in Japan, it's safe and legit! The outside looks like a house entrance until you walk in and see the inside. Very modern and nice decoration and there's only about 8 seats downstairs and I believe there's an upstairs as well? That I'm not too sure, but the sommelier there was really good! I honestly don't know if that's his title but he knows his drinks really well and can give you a suggestion for a good pairing to what you are eating. We got the omakase set for the both of us and everything was sooooo delicious!!!! Like things I've never had before with the amazing ginger "beer" from Hokkaido!!! The chai and cinnamon spice was sooooo good!! Cannot find that anywhere else!! Anyways if you haven't tried this place in Japan, I would definitely recommend. It's more on the higher end side but it is so worth it!! Also you can make reservations on google too! Just fyi to do that in advance before you leave to go to Japan though cuz they do get filled up quickly!
