Ensui

"The approach of Chef Ryosuke Ito is to ‘make the old new again’, evolving time-honoured dishes with a modern touch. Dried bonito flakes are shaved fresh for the customer to sample; basic soup stock is prepared fresh and simmered items burst with seasonal ingredients. The flow of dishes with dashi stock is a uniting theme. Another is the charcoal flame, an age-old technique that wreathes each item in a smoky fragrance. Everything starts from the flame of the charcoal and the water of the dashi stock." - Michelin Inspector

"Racist Restaurant Experience 🤯‼️ Tokyo Ensui** Steer clear of this Michelin-starred kaiseki place in Tokyo. I booked a month in advance from Toronto based on Ins recommendations. Party of three. We arrived 10 minutes early, were polite, and spoke English (their English was poor but manageable). Staff were initially okay, but once seated, **the chef didn’t even look up at us** 🙃. I assumed he was busy/preoccupied. When ordering drinks, things felt awkward since we were quiet—until the remaining seats filled with *all* Japanese guests. Then came the wild part: **The chef gave a 90-degree bow and beaming smile to *every* Japanese customer**... yet when he finally acknowledged us, it was just a stiff nod. Whatever—we thought we’d focus on the food. But the worst? When leaving, **our taxi arrived first**. We were literally **about to get in** when the chef *sprinted* over, whispered to the driver, and the car sped off 😱. Turns out, their Japanese guests’ taxi had arrived—and they *had* to board right at the entrance! As for the food? **Mediocre at best**. Not even close to *Goryukyu* (Tokyo). We ate at *Hakuun* the day before—service was better (no blatant discrimination), and both supposedly descend from *Ryugin*. **Save your money—this isn’t worth it.**"

This was the worst experience I have ever had. Throughout the entire meal, the chef didn't say a word to us, as if we were unwelcome. Yet, they were very polite and provided excellent service to the Japanese guests next to us. Since we are foreigners , I assume this restaurant does not welcome foreigners. What was even more sad was what happened after dinner. We called an Uber and were waiting outside when our driver arrived. The chef quickly ran up to the driver, whispered something in their ear, and our driver left the entrance to make way for another Uber driver picking up guests behind us. I was shocked and deeply saddened by why we were treated this way, I wish I could speak Japanese and able to ask why the chef treated us like this and such a heartbreaking experience in Japan.

The best kaiseki I’ve had in a long time. Similar in style to Kiyama in Kyoto, but even surpassing it in my opinion. The winter menu, centred around crab and puffer fish, was a thing of beauty. Simple dishes like the fried puffer fish still stand out a month after eating, which is no mean feat. Go while reservations are still easy to get, because it won’t be soon.

Great flavor profile and perfect execution. My favorite dish is the deep fried fugu shirako 🇯🇵💯 Not a single bad dish!!!!!!! Amazing Sake selections and paring. Wish they spoke just a tiny bit more english though!
