Best Japanese Restaurants in Shinjuku

What a remarkable experience! We have lived in Japan for the past six months, and this was absolutely our best eating experience since we moved here. The restaurant is very beautiful - private and intimate with just ten seats at the sushi bar. The hostess and her husband, the chef, are just some of the most friendly people I've ever met, and the young lady who took care of the diners and ensured that we always had fresh green tea and a full water glass was attentive and friendly. We had so many questions about the food, about the restaurant and its decorations, and about Japan in general, and the hostess was engaging and informative, teaching us things about sushi, about the local area, and about Japanese culture in general. There were three parties at the restaurant when we went, and we never felt ignored or disregarded. The meal was paced perfectly - the minute you had an inkling of maybe wanting another new experience of sushi, there was the chef, making something else. The ingredients were the best I've tasted, amazingly fresh and prepared perfectly. Though not cheap, the experience was worth every bit of the cost and we plan on going again as often as we are able to get to Tokyo and Roppongi.

Take the sake pairing with the chefs omikase…great experience

Incredible experience with incredible chef. The flavours are something you will have to try hard to experience again. The place is a little bit hard to find. True Japanese awesome experience! Please order the sake!!

The food is exquisite and meets expectations. The portion of the set meal I ordered is sufficient.

I liked this restaurant. Food was good. I just wish that OpenTable added 14th Flr to the location. We got to the restaurant around 25 mins late since we were going around in circles following google map directions and still not finding the restaurant. It is on the 14th Floor of the Odakyu Department Store. There are no signs anywhere about the restaurant. We finally went to the restaurant review on Google and patiently read each one of them. Luckily a reviewer posted that it's on the 14th Floor. Pls OpenTable, update the address info for this restaurant.
