Authentic Edo-style sushi from a Jiro protégé, refined courses
"I observed Harutaka listed among Tokyo's three-star restaurants that are walkable from central hotels, underscoring the city's concentration of Michelin talent." - AFAR
"A high-end sushi/kaiseki destination celebrated for precise technique and seasonal, refined courses that exemplify Tokyo’s elite traditional dining scene." - Jessica Kozuka
"Sushi items are meticulously selected, allowing no compromise in quality. Prawns have their sweetness drawn out at a freshly-boiled temperature, with their innards carefully sandwiched between the prawn and the rice for optimal taste, Orient clam is brushed with soy syrup and simmered to impart a deep, rich flavour. Each piece is a study in beauty, dignifying the flavour within." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Sometimes our connections intervene to change our lives. Harutaka Takahashi’s mischievous youth in Asahikawa took a turn for the better when, through a tempura master who was a close friend of his potter uncle, he landed a job at Sukiyabashi Jiro. Like Ravel’s Bolero, sushi here is presented with a particular rhythm, building toward a crescendo of sweetness, sourness and temperature in harmony. Destiny is in the taste and texture of every piece of sushi at Harutaka." - Michelin Inspector
"Sushi restaurant Harutaka rises to the top of the world's gastronomic scene by getting promoted to Three MICHELIN Stars. In this peaceful establishment, guests can either choose to sit at the counter, or book a private dining room to enjoy authentic Edo-style sushi crafted by chef Harutaka Takahashi." - MICHELIN Guide Japan
