Worth a trip...
as the Michelin Guide likes to say about restaurants with outstanding food. Kinoshita is located within a triad of 3 stations. Chef owner Kazuhiko Kinoshita has been cooking for over 25 years and is a genius at combining unpretentious simplicty with an inherent understanding of flavors to create dishes that will have you saying, "Wow!" To wit, a pork confit on a mirepoix of eggplant and zucchini, with a broiled merguez sausage on the side and a dollop of real "up in your nose" Dijon mustard; home smoked salmon filets on a giant blini; a terrine of grapefruit and hassaku oranges in raspberry gelée with a scoop of melon sorbet. Portions are not microsopic "tasting" size, either.
The 3 course lunch includes a beverage and is a deal at ¥2,500. The more expensive dinner options allow you to customize your experience with additional charges depending on the item but include down to earth authentic bistro dishes like grilled blood sausages with apple compote, a lasagna of Wagyu beef and chitterlings.
There is an impressive wine list to complement your meal as well as 6 wines by the glass.
