£140Reservation AvailableJapaneseCourtyardHistorical architectureView of landmarksGreat shot spotPrime location

李静静isTokyo Ukai Tofuya is located at 4-4-13 Shibakoen, Minato-ku, Tokyo 105-0011. It is a large and beautiful Japanese garden restaurant. The tofu is also very special, especially next to the Tokyo Tower. The whole set meal is not expensive. The private room is large and comfortable. At the end, you can walk around in the garden and take pictures. It is a very special meal. In addition to the food, you can also relax your eyes and mind.

没有蜡ollingTakoyasu, a puffer fish restaurant, has a history of more than 80 years. The puffer fish in the restaurant is tender and delicious. Puffer fish sashimi, deep-fried puffer fish, puffer fish hot pot, cold puffer fish skin, grilled puffer fish, puffer fish porridge... all are delicious, but the stomach is so big

3. Sushi no Midori

没有蜡ollingToday's surprise~~ Umegaoka Sushi Midori, you can eat without queuing. _(:з」∠)_ I was sleepy after queuing for three hours. Why are so many people queuing up... Is it because... they are poor... But this restaurant can't even make cheap sushi fresh and plump, which can be said to be insincere.

没有蜡olling🌟An old eel rice restaurant with a history of more than 270 years The environment is really to my liking, very Japanese, the service is all aunties wearing kimonos, speaking softly, especially kind and gentle❤️ When the dishes come up, they will tell you how to eat, what to put first and what, etc. 🌟Tamago-yaki, I love Japanese tamagoyaki so much, it is sweet, tender and thick Kabayaki eel rice, the price is different because of the different sizes, I ordered a medium portion (haha, I have a bigger appetite) The eel has basically no bones, even if there are one or two, it will not prick, it is fresh and tender, and the taste is very delicate, with rice with sauce, the grains are full~ so satisfying [rabbit][rabbit] 🌟A super cute store~

M32***83Japan's popular yakiniku restaurants have very high-quality meat, and the waiters will help you prepare and grill the meat, and will also remind you to light the fire. After grilling, it is very flavorful when dipped in a special sauce.

travelerererAfter shopping, I felt a little hungry, so I came to this Japanese restaurant in the nearby block. The Japanese karaage, salmon sashimi and salmon in this restaurant are all very good. I personally recommend ordering them. The price-performance ratio is also relatively high.

7. Honkogetsu

No.13 of Fine Dining in Osaka

£384JapanesePrime location

没有蜡ollingThe decoration of the store is very Japanese, like a Japanese tea house, but there are only eight seats, which is hard to get. This is a husband-and-wife shop. The wife is responsible for serving wine and service, and the chef is responsible for the preparation of the kitchen dishes. The couple is warm and hospitable and very talkative. The wife is also responsible for making the last dessert in the set meal. The rice used in the store is the highest quality variety carefully selected from the wife's own farm.

空空CJVery relaxed atmosphere with talented and attentive staff. The scallops, wagyu beef and lamb were especially amazing! Arne, the owner, is very proud of the restaurant - he told us wonderful stories from his time in Tokyo and Scotland. It's a magical place and I love it! Carmel and Paul.

红妆人NefelibataThe crispy pork with Sichuan peppercorns has a strong Sichuan peppercorn flavor. The crispy pork is a bit tender and goes well with rice, but it’s a bit too salty, so I didn’t eat much of it. I had dinner too early, and I’m hungry again after watching a drama…
