The second time is still the charm. Well thought through menu that showcases the finest ingredients from all over Japan. The staff still remembered us and seated at the same table after 1 year passed. Will certainly come back for the 3rd time.

An unforgettable experience that redefines fine dining. From the moment we stepped in, every detail - from the serene ambiance to the meticulously crafted dishes - leaves us in awe. Each course is a masterpiece, blending Japanese techniques with innovative flair. The flavours are bold yet delicate, showcasing the finest ingredients in the most unexpected ways. A truly jaw-dropping dining experience that lingers long after the meal.

A contemporary approach to traditional kaiseki with masterful skills and delicate flavours. Wine & sake pairing was well worth the price and beautifully complemented the courses. Service was warm and attentive. Low reviews are probably result of frustrated expectations of a more predictable menu. This is the placa for true 3-Michelin star modern kaiseki.

I had very high expectations. This was the Pufferfish tasting menu, so every course had Pufferfish or Shirako (sperm sack). These are winter delicacies in Japan and the Pufferfish will kill you if it’s not prepared correctly so technically this was a very difficult menu to execute. However, I enjoyed less than half the dishes as the fish is very hard to eat. It is very tough and chewie and I only enjoyed the deep fried preparation and the hot pot. The rice porridge and dessert were phenomenal and there was one dish called “Tonight’s marinade dish” that was excellent. Again, I want to reiterate how hard the preparation of this fish is but the actual flavors and eating enjoyment were quite low for a 3-Star Michelin restaurant where the cost was $660 (no alcohol). I would recommend going when the menu is “normal” and I would like to give it another chance because it was very disappointing.

The most disappointed restaurant on this trip to Japan was none other than nihonryori ryu gin. paid $1,200 per person, which was the most anticipated restaurant. I found lollipop-sized puffer meatballs, $100 per person (alcohol pairing), and even fish bones. Is this possible in a Michelin 3-star kitchen? Even the servers just said sorry Amuse bouche (pufferfish broth) dessert (tangerine soufflé ) The beginning and the end were so heartlessly disappointing. The dessert was a joke…. Looks cheap taste cheap. Take-home gift was another joke..small bottle water from Mount Fuji server said. I was so dumbfounded that I forgot to take pictures But if you look at other people's reviews, you'll find a picture of that water bottle Don't expect the menu items you've seen on YouTube. They're not included in the menu and need to be ordered separately. There was no artisan, only a money grubber
