Kurogi

Note for tourists: standard is a minimum of one order per person, this can include drinks. You must order and pay first, then they will assign you a seat. The entrance is on the outside of the building, please do not use the interior indoor (department store) entrance. Delicious kakegori, very fine ice with special fillings inside. Simple and delicate. We had the seasonal Strawberry, but the Matcha and Kinako (soybean flour) was great as well.

Ultra-premium ingredients. Price is about 2-3x similar quality washoku meals and ranks probably as the most expensive in Tokyo, and maybe Japan. The amount of food served is very large, roughly about 1.5-1.75x other high end washoku meals. Most guests take bentos home. I personally found this volume of food overwhelming. Kurogi-san is not always cooking, which was very surprising to me given the reputation and price point.

Food is super. But prices is too super.

One of the best restaurants in Japan.

Best breakfast I’ve ever had in my life. Tops!

Great food and great hospitality!!!

Definitely recommend.

東京・大門駅からすぐの場所に佇む「くろぎ」は、完全予約制の高級割烹。カウンター10席のみの静かな空間で、大将・黒木純氏をはじめとしたスタッフの所作や雰囲気に、入店直後から背筋が伸びるような緊張感と期待感が漂います。印象的なのは、10種類の箸から好みを選ぶところから始まる丁寧なおもてなし。一皿ごとに旬の食材を用いた、繊細かつ洗練された和の世界が広がります。 ランチでは、名物「鯛茶漬け御膳」（1,000円）を提供。鯛とご飯はおかわり自由で、まずは刺身として、次に茶漬けで楽しむスタイル。鯛の旨味と出汁のバランスが絶妙で、「都内最強コスパランチ」と評されるのも納得です。 ディナーは季節感あふれる本格懐石コース。鮎や鴨、すっぽんなど高級食材を用いた多彩な品々に、キャビアを添えた卵料理やハモの揚げ出しなど、味も見た目も印象深いものばかり。 価格はランチが手頃なのに対し、夜は5万円前後と高級ながら、内容に見合った満足感。特別な日にこそ訪れたい、東京を代表する割烹の名店です。
