Best Cozy Restaurants in Akasaka / Tameikesanno

We had a great experience as a family visiting Tokyo for the first time. The food was meticulously prepared and the service was awesome. We dined in a nice quiet private room and enjoyed the 10 course fixed menu. The team was very welcoming of our children, and they explained to them the menu items nicely. Excellent genuine Japanese hospitality. Highly recommended.

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!

We stumbled upon the place on our last night in Tokyo. What a wonderful choice! 

Very pleasant Japanese cuisine. The chef dedicates himself with heart and creativity. The wine list could be more extensive.

Very strange that I’m coming to Tokyo to enjoy American steak but Empire is a quick walk from my Roppongi hotel and the service here is top notch fantastic. It’s also friendly for solo diners and many of the salads and sides can be ordered half-size. They also carry my favorite Napa Merlot by Duckhorn. Head waiter Ito-san is about as professional and old-school as you can find anywhere these days …….all I can say is that Empire is worth the visit and cost because sometimes, no matter where you are, that craving for a juicy, rare, grass-fed USDA prime cut of beef must be fulfilled, with extreme perfection!!
