We really enjoyed our dinner with the chef's tasting menu. Regional seafood and wagyu beef are the stars here. Wonderful food, beautifully presented, and the wine/sake pairings were fantastic. Service was amazing! Highly recommend! It's clear why they have a Michelin star. Don't snooze on Jo.

I visited this restaurant earlier this year in April while I was visiting Japan. I’ll admit initially it was quite a bit daunting as I was a solo traveler with little to no Japanese under my belt. However, I was extremely well accommodated during my visit. While the majority of people present were couples, there’s an odd number of chairs at the counter so there was a spot at the end for solo diners. There was an English speaker on hand who was able to help explain the dishes to me as they came out, and there was another gentleman who spoke English as well who was initially able to greet me and welcomed me into the establishment. The food itself was nothing short of perfect, a great experience overall. The beef was exquisite, it was my number one reason for visiting this establishment and will be the number one reason why I return the next time I visit Tokyo.

Japanese restaurant offering an omakase menu, simply perfect. Every dish was precise, delicious, and beautifully presented. The drink pairing was excellent, subtle and perfectly balanced. The staff were professional and friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. An unforgettable evening.

Best beef we ever had. The chef is a true master of the craft. It was fascinating to see how seemingly effortless they prepared all the food. He also catered perfectly to my dietary requirements. Very private and personal cooking, reservation is a must.

The most satisfying meal. They are very friendly and prepare delicious food before your eyes. The spring roll with blue cheese filling and topped with beef prosciutto and truffle was out of this world. I would love to go back!

Worth every penny. All the dishes we ate are excellent. The place is small so it will be an intimate experience, with the food cooked in front of you. I liked the wagyu sando the most.

This was one of the best meals we’ve ever had! We came tonight as a family of four to celebrate my children finishing some very important exams. Everything from the food to service was exquisite. Chef Okubo-San was both friendly and an expert in his field. We were mesmerised by the skill he and his team took in preparing every dish. Our particular favourites included the Kobe beef tenderloin, the abalone dish, the uni dish, the sweetcorn tempura and the beef sushi. In fact too many to mention! Thank you Chef Okubo-San and team!

I was so incredibly impressed with the dinner we had at this restaurant. I was expecting this meal to be solely focused on meat, but was pleasantly surprised with a few great non-meat centric dishes (the fried fish in sesame sauce was a lovely opener!). The meal was impressive, we loved the different techniques they used to make the beef more than just slabs of steak, and I could eat their katsu every day and be happy! We ended up being so full by the end of it (when given the choice of noodles vs curry, I wish I could taste both!), there was so much food. Additionally, despite us not speaking Japanese, and the chefs not speaking much English, they were kind, accommodating and happy to have us. Even as foreigners it was a very pleasant evening and a wonderful experience. Thank you for having us!
