Best Authentic Restaurants in Nishi Azabu

Was so great to return to Fukuzushi after not being back in Japan since 2019. While they’ve moved to a newer and smaller location, felt it was more intimate than years past, and the quality of sushi, friendliness of chef and his wife, made it so welcoming and familiar again. Reminded me why I used to frequent the restaurant years ago. Looking forward to returning again in my future trips to Tokyo.

Take the sake pairing with the chefs omikase…great experience

One of the best meals in my life, and I have a lot of experience. The chef was funny, kind, and an artist. The food was really special, all the ingredients were sourced from wherever the food originates from and ordered freshly days before. We had raw whale as sashimi, and fresh porcini muchrooms cooked in an incredible soup, and special rice that he even used the water from the area that the rice came from to cook it. Everything was special and incredible but also his design was amazing. One of the dishes came in a picnic basket with leaves and flowers from the season decorating it. And another had the flowers in season added into the cup that held the dish. The place is also about 6 seats so very important

If you want Japanese authentic Oden style, this place might be not for you. However, if you want fusion Oden style, I highly recommend this place. Restaurant is located in house so it like french restaurant style that used to convert old house to be restaurant. Environment is made you feel like you dining in french restaurant. Oden soup is quite heavy tease for me. Also, it has only set menu and you can’t order more but during my visit, Tokyo was under state of emergency so every restaurant has to close early. I am don’t know that for normal time they have a la carte to order or not.

Wonderful service and 5* dry aged prime steak. Were very careful with my allergy. We will be back!
