Populairste Japanse restaurants in Suidobashi / Jimbocho

I had a ten hour connection in Tokyo so I went into the city for sushi. Takaya was a terrific choice. Delicious fresh fish combined with a friendly relaxed attitude. I was a bit apprehensive about dining alone, but the chef made me feel welcome, and I had fun chatting with him. Tip: the seats at the far right side of the counter have a direct view of the chef preparing sushi, which was fascinating.

Fantastic food and service. We had the Chef's sushi selection and everything wesas outstanding!

Our first ever A5 Wagyu beef teppanyaki meal. It was amazing !!! The beef is the star of the show here, and be prepared to shell out upwards of $300 per person for an extravagant 7 course meal. We chose the somewhat frugal entry level 5 course meal for $130 per person which was plenty of food already with a choice of an 80 gram filet or a 100 gram sirloin. The chef prepares all the food in front of you, and grills the meat 2 ways, on the steel top and on the charcoal grill. Great views of the Tokyo Done and surroundings through the panoramic windows in the background. An amazing overall experience. A reservation is a must as there are only about 10 seats at the counter.
