Sukiyaki Asai
Personal-sized sukiyaki served counter-side with an essence of Zen meditation and unique accouterments in this Michelin-selected Toranomon restaurant.
Restaurant Details
It hasn’t even been a year since Sukiyaki Asai opened in Tokyo’s upscale Toranomon Hills, and it’s already earned a spot in the Michelin Guide.
One look at the spectacular, warm-hued venue reveals why. A smooth-polished, L-shaped wooden counter serves as the focal point of the dining space, but it’s in the finer details, like the narrow hallway, latticed door and organic accents, that tell visitors that the store is serious about, frankly, everything.
The restaurant takes its name from a Zen philosophy — “Asai no seifu” — that echoes the relief of a clear mind in the hopes that guests can forget the day’s troubles while they refresh over a premium meal of sukiyaki.
The course swings between vegetable and beef, tended by a team of Michelin-trained, kimono-clad waitresses who will cook the sukiyaki in front of diners. Cuts of meat are primarily Omi beef sourced from Sakaeya, a reputable brand from Shiga Prefecture. Sakeya’s head butcher, Yoshinobu Shinbo, uses a unique aging technique to coax a mouth-watering texture and concentrated flavor from this already premium wagyu.
Rather than the typical raw egg used in sukiyaki, the rich yolk is separated from the egg whites, which gets whipped into loose, airy meringue. The classical counter seats eight guests, while private rooms are available for special occasions and group outings.
