Best Japanese Restaurants in Akasaka / Tameikesanno

Best sushi in all Japan. Great hidden gem in a beautiful and calm area of Tokyo.

The omakase course was an amazing flurry of all different types of kushikatsu ranging from veggies, fish to meats. The staff was very kind and helpful to me and my limited Japanese. Definitely coming back when I return to Japan. ありがとう！

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.

Great Japanese BBQ restaurant down a side alley in the Akasaka region. A little hard to find as owners have changed their banners out front to blue. Little English spoken and no English menu but Foggle translator saved the day. Food is excellent quality and reasonably priced. I would definitely go back.

Amazing longstanding restaurant. Food and staff were fantastic.
