Myself and my partner attended the omakase dinner with saki paring. We had booked this in advance. Though recently found out my partner is pregnant, which after an email sent, was accommodated to a high standard. My partner did not at all feel left out and the menu provided for her was arguably better than mine :). She was also given non alcoholic drinks to pair, which I thought was a nice touch. Myself, was very impressed with the course I was provided. Informative and tasty. I could only fault that perhaps my eyes were bigger than my stomach. Sake pairing was also on point, and origins etc were explained. We both walked out full and happy. I would recommend to fast before dinner as there is a lot of food to be had. :)

Sushi Hajime (Shibuya)

Restaurant in Tokyo

The crabs were very fresh and tasty. Service was excellent.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable omakase dinner with my best friend, and it truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Chef Nakatani and the hostess were very friendly, guiding us through the experience with genuine enthusiasm and care. Each dish was a masterpiece, showing an incredible attention to detail. The fish was very fresh, with each bite revealing layers of flavour that were perfectly balanced. The chef’s skill and passion for their craft were evident in every course. It was clear that no detail was overlooked—each ingredient was thoughtfully selected, and the presentation was just as stunning as the taste. The pacing of the meal was also spot on, allowing us to fully savour each dish without feeling rushed. The chef took the time to explain each course as best as he could in English and how to properly enjoy each, adding an extra layer of appreciation for the artistry behind the food. The entire experience felt intimate, personal, and incredibly special. Overall, this omakase experience was not only about the food, but also about the warmth and hospitality that made it such a memorable evening. We were left feeling happy and more than satisfied. Highly recommend for anyone seeking both top-tier dishes and a welcoming, exceptional dining experience.

Great lunch and I appreciated the difference in their palate cleaning ginger. The dessert was divine.

Delicious selection of meats grilled to perfection at our table by a friendly and knowledgeable server. Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

How to reserve restaurants in Japan?

You can make a reservation at a restaurant in Japan by direct phone call to the restaurant, or in some cases via direct reservation on their website if available. There also are some online reservation platforms but they are often in Japanese, like the restaurant’s website. To avoid the issue of language barriers and time differences, you can place your reservation through a secure platform that helps foreigners to make online reservations, such as byFood. You can use byFood to add filters and narrow down restaurants in Japan, to match the location and food type you are looking for. All you have to do is head to your desired restaurant page and enter your reservation details. If your reservation is successful, you will receive an email confirmation and have your reservation made on your behalf. In the event that the reservation was not successful, you will receive a failed reservation email notification.

Is a reservation required for restaurants in Japan?

Not all restaurants in Japan require a reservation but there are many that do, so this depends on the restaurant. Popular or high-end restaurants generally require a reservation and tend to be totally booked a few months ahead. Some more casual restaurants, bars, and cafes do not require a booking, however if you are with a big group it can be a good idea. Some restaurants like ramen restaurants and izakaya gastropubs do not allow reservations ahead of time.

What is the average cost of a meal at restaurants in Japan?

This depends on the type of restaurant but on average a meal at restaurants in Japan will cost somewhere between 800 yen and 3000 yen for one dish or set meal. More high-class restaurants can start from anywhere between 4000 and 10,000 yen per meal, with more being charged for dinner.

Best Restaurants in Japan

From fresh sushi to crispy tempura, Japan’s diverse restaurant scene excites visitors and locals alike with hundreds of thousands of high-quality Japanese restaurants. Beckoning with drool-worthy plastic replicas in their windows, both contemporary and traditional restaurants offer unique flavors and atmospheres. Enter any restaurant in Japan and immediately be welcomed with a hearty “irasshaimase!”

Many Japanese restaurants focus on one signature dish, like Japanese curry restaurants, ramen shops, or speciality restaurants selling yakitori grilled chicken skewers. Restaurants steam with DIY shabu-shabu hotpots while grill-it-yourself teppanyaki hotplate restaurants sizzle! Find tiny family-owned ramen shops hidden in the backstreets of Kyoto, and yatai street food stalls bustling in alleys of Fukuoka. And let’s not forget, Tokyo alone boasts the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the world!

Throughout the country, fine dining restaurants serving exquisite kaiseki banquets contrast cheap “shokudo” cafeterias meals for salarymen on-the-go. You can order dinner directly from a tablet or even a vending machine, or choose your own sushi pieces trundling past on the belt of a sushi train. Nibble on small plates as you drink up during an izakaya dining experience, seated on tatami flooring and cheersing “kampai!” with the locals. There are so many exciting Japan restaurant options with different foods and local cuisines to try, so don’t waste a moment of your trip looking for a restaurant! Reserve ahead of time at some of the best restaurants in Japan with byFood and secure some of the country’s best cuisine for your taste buds. Don't forget to say, “gochisosama deshita” when you leave any Japan restaurant, meaning “thank you for the meal!”
