Yotsuya Minemura
Big dreams of its Michelin-starred counter in Yotsuya are expressed through omakase menus that echo the rhythm and deft technique of sushi chefs.
Restaurant Details
Yotsuya Minemura, opened by Chef Minemura Shohei in 2023, represents the fruits of many years of preparation. Though the chef is still in his 30s, he has already polished his skills at the former Ichita —a Michelin-recognized house of Japanese cuisine — for seven years, and made close acquaintance with supporters that led him to Yotsuya Minemura. And already, within a year of opening, the restaurant received a Star in the Michelin Guide Tokyo 2025.
Unlike most traditional kappo restaurants, Yotsuya Minemura combines sushi and traditional Japanese dishes in a practiced order that riffs on the classical flow of omakase courses. Its signature dishes are clearly rooted in these techniques, such as the steamed monkfish liver course and the artful tamagoyaki served to end the meal. As an unexpected twist, the typical finishing rice is swapped out for soba, a nod to its sushi-inspired courses and Minemura’s time at Ichita.
Yotsuya Minemura is located along a street lined with other notable restaurants but tucks itself into a narrow space with just 6 seats and a counter. The ambiance is intimate, connecting closely seated guests and the chef who is partly obscured by a wooden framed kitchen window.
