Sushi Saito
Who would have thought that in the lively and vibrant nightlife of Roppongi, there is such an extraordinary sushi restaurant hidden away! This place has received a Michelin three-star rating for five consecutive years, so you can imagine the deliciousness of the sushi. Unfortunately, the restaurant only has a six-person bar, but you can enjoy the food while watching the chef's skills.
Hidden in an ordinary small building in Akasaka, you wouldn't know it's a famous kaiseki restaurant if it weren't for the small lantern by the porch with the words 'Matsukawa' written on it. The characteristic of Matsukawa lies in its minimal processing, preserving the original flavor of the ingredients to the greatest extent. Both the taste and the environment are top-notch. It is said that it even refused Michelin star ratings, showing its full confidence!
L’Effervescence
This Michelin two-star French restaurant is very special, hidden in a standalone Western-style house in a quiet alley of Nishi-Azabu. The atmosphere is excellent! When serving the dishes, the restaurant manager introduces the ingredients and preparation methods of each dish with elegance and attentiveness. From the environment, service, atmosphere, to the cuisine, it all exudes typical French charm. If you want to elevate your experience, this place is the perfect choice.
This restaurant is also very hidden, and the difficulty of making a reservation is enough to demonstrate its top-notch level. The most exaggerated time required a two-month advance booking! This is truly a patient foodie! The presentation and taste of the dishes at Quintessence are excellent, and you must visit in person to fully appreciate the flavors.
Helmet Eel Shop
The most popular eel restaurant in Tokyo. Standing outside the shop, you might think you've traveled back to the 90s. However, the simple storefront cannot overshadow the delicious food. Besides their specialty eel, the shop's sake is also quite famous, mostly exclusive brews that are very rare.
