Chef's Omakase Course

Sushi Take

Ginza·$$$$

¥25000.00

Sequential service of seasonal nigiri and appetizers, highlighting the unique style of Ginza's premier female master.

Tip: This is non-negotiable! The progression is remarkably consistent. Pay attention to how the rice temperature changes slightly for each cut of fish to help the fats melt perfectly. The 'Aburi' pieces are flash-torched with high-grade charcoal for a deep smoky depth.

Aged Shima Aji (Striped Jack) Nigiri

Sushi Kimura

Futako-Tamagawa·$$$$

¥44000.00

Striped jack aged for 2 weeks to achieve an incredible concentration of savory umami and a buttery texture.

Tip: This is non-negotiable! The aging process creates a flavor that is much more intense than standard 'fresh' sushi. Eat it slowly to appreciate the complex notes—it's almost like a dry-aged steak. The rice here is seasoned with a specific white vinegar that doesn't mask the fermented fish.

Sushi Yuu Omakase Course

Sushi Yuu

Nishi-Azabu·$$$$

¥27500.00

Sequential service of seasonal nigiri and appetizers, highlighting the restaurant's signature fatty tuna.

Tip: This is non-negotiable! The tuna here is some of the best in Tokyo. Pay attention to how Chef Daisuke explains every piece—he is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The Friday lunch omakase (¥15,400) is an incredible value.

Tokusei Seafood Tsukemen

Rokurinsha

Marunouchi·$$

¥1100.00

Thick dipping noodles served with an extra-pungent pork and fish broth, topped with a soft-boiled egg and char siu.

Tip: Mix the fish powder on top directly into the broth before you start dipping. It adds a significant savory depth. Don't dip the noodles completely—only dip the bottom half to maintain the balance of the wheat flavor and the rich gravy.

Nama Shichimi Tsukemen

Rokurinsha

Marunouchi·$$

¥1250.00

Signature dipping noodles served with a side of 'fresh' house-made seven-spice blend.

Tip: The 'fresh' shichimi is the secret here. It has a great citrusy aroma that cuts through the rich pork fat. Add a little bit to each bite of the noodles before dipping them into the soup.

Shio Soba (Salt Ramen)

Soba House Konjiki Hototogisu

Shinjuku·$$

¥1000.00

Salt-based ramen featuring sea bream and hamaguri clam dashi with a touch of white truffle oil.

Tip: This is the most 'oceanic' bowl on the menu. The sea bream flavor is subtle but beautiful. It pairs perfectly with the tender chicken char siu they use as a topping.

Kyushu Jangara Ramen (All-In)

Kyushu Jangara Ramen

Harajuku·$$

¥1150.00

Signature lighter tonkotsu-style ramen featuring a blend of pork, chicken, and vegetable stocks.

Tip: The 'All-In' bowl is the best value. The marinated pork chunks (kakuni) are meltingly tender and have a great savory-sweet glaze. It's the best baseline to judge their stock-making skills.

Tokami Omakase Course

Sushi Tokami

Ginza·$$$$

¥27000.00

Sequential service of seasonal nigiri and appetizers, highlighting premium bluefin tuna from Toyosu's top suppliers.

Tip: The red vinegar rice is the star! It's much more savory than at standard sushi spots. Pay attention to how the rice temperature changes slightly for each cut of fish to help the fats melt perfectly. The lunch course is an incredible value.
