Best Casual Restaurants in Nakameguro / Yutenji

I enjoyed dinner with two other friends. The restaurant was full of guests from foreign countries, and they all seemed to enjoy the atmosphere. The food was excellent, especially the sashimi plate. I wish they had a free-flow drink plan, but other than that, we enjoyed it.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had and I’ve eaten at 1-3 star Michelin restaurants, at Four Seasons restaurants over the past 25+ years and many other restaurants, bistros, cafes and holes-in-the-wall along the way. This is by far the best sushi/sashimi/sake experiences I’ve ever had and in the top 3 meals I’ve ever had. Dinner was our last night in Tokyo, after 18 days in Asia. It was for me and my son (23). Small, intimate restaurant (maybe 20 seats?!). We sat at the counter and ordered the tasting menu with sake tasting/pairing. Each course was better than the next. The hospitality was inviting and the service was impeccable. The room was discreet. I cannot speak more highly about this dining experience. Run, don’t walk. Make it a stop every time you go to Tokyo. It’s that good. Thank you to the team for a very special night.

This is a unique space, where you truly feel at home. The owner/chef makes wonderful dishes based on your choices of his fresh ingredients. Great experience!

We visited Sougo on our first night in Tokyo. We had heard it was excellent, and it truly surpassed all our expectations. The ambience, the quality and favor profile of the food, the drinks, the attention to every small detail, the service, the extremely welcoming staff and chef: everything was perfection. The value for money for the quality you get is amazing! We will definitely be back. I would highly recommend dining there while in Tokyo!

So good. Chef was professional and nice and food was incredible.
