Kabi

I was surprised to see reservations slots for late evening times! The short summer course is very vibrant and filling. Some of the dishes had very strong, but good, flavor which definitely requires a pairing. I went for the non alcoholic pairing which wasn’t too impressive, but they were good enough for the food. Since there are more counter slots than tables, this is definitely a place meant for 2. Expect to wait outside if you arrive early, so bring an umbrella in case it rains.

Modern Scandinavian style fusion with Japanese ingredients 🍴💯 I really liked how they made dishes interesting with techniques of Scandinavian style, a bit of French with Japanese ingredients 🐟🥬 The way they presented foods were beautiful and even artistic as well. Loved the atmosphere too! Would keen to visit again very soon.

It was so exciting to experience this restaurant. Never experienced anything like it. Innovative experiments with the fermentation of seasonal ingredients. Super creative especially with food pairing (both alcohol & non alcohol), you can literary taste the flavor of the food being leveraged to another level w/ the drink. Edgy, yet cozy. Produced by 27 yr old Japanese chef trained in Denmark & Japan. Everything from the food, interior, detail designs, and music had very nice style. Second floor bar was nice too. & sweets were very yummy as well ;) Will definitely come back for dinner next time.

Walked into the restaurant just before 7pm (the place was enpty) and asked whether they had a table for 2. I was given 2 options to seat at a table or at the bar. We then ordered some wine and after 10 minutes, the waitress came to ask if we had a reservation. I confirmed we didn't as explained when we walked in. I was then told "this is for reservation only" and was asked to leave. No apologies, no "our mistake, we will find a solution". This is the worst experience I've had in Tokyo. Totally rude and disrespectful. A place to forget.

Experimental food experience in a very dosing but casual place. Some dishes were amazing, some others perhaps a little tried to hard to make them special. I loved the idea of a non-alcohol pairing with great fermented juices and mixes, would do that again. Great service and atmosphere.

Five stars if it was for the access. A beautiful restaurant indeed, like walking in a dream house designed with perfection. Cutlery, tableware, doors, tables, counter, decoration... the chef and his interior designer have exquisite tastes. Your experience will ravish your senses: vision, touch, smell and obviously taste. Don’t forget to reserve beforehand, it would be a shame not to get if you have come all the way. You can try the bar upstairs though but...

A very cool place. The design and atmosphere are great - even if the music can be a little loud - and the bar upstairs is super nice. The food is amazing. Playing with fermentation and great ingredients is a really fun journey. Wine list is a little French and Italian 'only' but can live with that. Service is super nice. Overall highly recommended.

We had a sublime experience eating the diner course menu with wine and sake pairing. The food is full of different tastes that reveals throughout the tasting and the dressing / plates are exquisite for the eyes. The service was given both in English and French and staff was very thoughtful to us. I highly recommend kabi for the food, alcohol pairing and great vibe of the place. I will definitely come back and bring family and friends to test delicious Japanese flavours with delicate twist. Bravo to all of the team and Merci 🍷 🍽

Kabi means mold. As someone who loves fermented foods more than dessert, I knew I had to go here. There is a fermented element in each dish. I was not disappointed. This was one of the best fine dining meals I've had in the past year. Service was excellent from the second we walked in the door and were seated at our counter seats. The beverage pairing is a must! You will get amazing wine and sakes and possibly even a beer. Beverages that I would not have chosen on my own were amazing when paired with their dishes. The food is seasonal and the menu is constantly evolving, so I won't go into too much detail. However, I should mention that this is the only time in my life I didn't hate shirako (male roe), so they must have been doing something right. They also served us a carrot with some greens that was the best carrot I've ever eaten. There were preparations of ingredients I hadn't seen before, and everything was not only interesting but delicious! They were also able to accommodate my dietary restrictions (no beef or pork) and modified the dishes for me which I appreciated. They found substitutes for ingredients instead of giving me a completely different dish from my husband. Desserts were perfection as well and also included pickled elements. They don't have hooks under the counter for your bag, but they do have large baskets by the window to put your personal items so you can sit back and enjoy the meal. It was one of the better and more interesting fine dining adventures I've had in the past few years. I hope to return soon.

Having lived in Tokyo almost three years, I must say this place is the best. It's a tasting menu format maybe 10 courses... all amazing. The name refers to fermentation in Japanese. The food follows suit and is delicious. The staff all speak perfect English. Amazing. Highly recommend.
