Yakiuo Ishikawa Roppongi Rinkarō

I first visited this gem in 2025, and the memory of the meal stayed with me so vividly that I had to return in 2026—this time bringing 2 more friends to share the experience. If you are in Tokyo and looking for an authentic, high-quality seafood experience, this is the place. It’s officially a staple for every trip I take to Japan!

Had our first Omakase dinner here and the food was soo great! First time to even try some of the dish. Great service from Imai and Nobu, they were so accommodating with our questions and also shares details of the food being prepared. Can recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back.

Came here for the rice topped with grilled tuna, ikura and uni, which was actually really good. Only thing is the bowl came out as first dish and sort of smaller than what we expected. Perhaps we didn’t read everything carefully enough but the rest of the course were assorted grilled dishes and somen (cold noodles) which we didn’t enjoy as much as the rice bowl we had as first dish so that was a bit of a bummer. Well TK be fair all the tuna dishes were good, maybe because we enjoy tuna more than others but we would probably preferred a la cart of tuna hahhaa. I guess if you like grilled fishes , they do the grilling in front of you which was nice. Oh and there was a hood for the smoke but didn’t quite help Enough

2nd time back because the 3 colour rice bowl is fantastic. Food is great - tuna simply melt in your mouth. Service is great too. Once they know that one of our group member who is an elder wanted to "bite-sized" portion, the service staff would cut the food to smaller portions for her. Very thoughtful. Reservations made through tabelog was easy.

Everything is made with fresh ingredients, and the service is wonderful. Although the chef described rice as just a side dish, it’s incredibly tasty and should definitely be enjoyed alongside every dish. Go for the free-flow drinks if you can—it’s an amazing way to explore Japanese culture through a wide selection of drinks.

Ordered the Saikyo set and 2 sake for 4 of us. The restaurant served seared sashimi. Food quality very nice, especially the trio color rice bowl comprising of uni, salmon roe and seared tuna. Service was v nice as well. The fried puffer fish and the soba was abit salty, otherwise it would be prefect.

A reservation is required for this restaurant, which specializes in fish. We opted for table seating, and the chef personally assisted in preparing each dish while explaining the ingredients and the best way to enjoy them. We chose the Saikyou set (¥18,000 per person), which included a variety of high-quality fish dishes. The sea urchin, fish roe, and grilled fish rice bowl were particularly delicious. The fish platter featured generous slices, though slightly smaller cuts might have been preferable. A great bonus—you can enjoy free-flow rice if you have the appetite! By the end of the course, we were completely satisfied. The overall experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoys premium seafood.

A very high quality dining experience. The fishes are grilled perfectly and melts in your mouth. Every dish was delicious and the staff are so nice.
