The best meal I have ever had. Every course was delicious and prepared perfectly. The atmosphere and attention to detail was incredible. The staff were courteous and attentive at all times. I don't know if any places will ever live up to the incredibly high bar that Yakiniku kappo note has set.

We weren't sure what to expect for our first Michelin Star restaurant. My wife and I are vegan and we knew Daigo was one of the only options we would ever have. Thankfully we are big fans of Shojin Ryori, which meant we were excited. We got there about 30 minutes early and they went ahead and seated us. We had our own private room with a beautiful lit garden outside. We were treated to course after course of delicious food that ranged in texture, temperature, and flavor. It was all fantastic and was finished off with an AMAZING red bean soup. The staff were kind and helpful. They made us feel right at home. If you think you'd enjoy an experience of the world's best Shojin Ryori, then we highly recommend going!

How to reserve kaiseki restaurants in Tokyo?

Most kaiseki restaurants in Tokyo can be reserved ahead of time by making a direct phone call to the restaurant itself. However, depending on your Japanese language ability, this may prove difficult.

ByFood is a useful online platform where you can filter different types of restaurants (including kaiseki restaurants) according to budget and locations. Once you have picked out which kaiseki restaurant in Tokyo you want to reserve, you can easily add your reservation details to the restaurant page. ByFood will send you through a confirmation email unless the reservation is rejected, in which case you will receive a failed reservation email.

Is a reservation required for kaiseki restaurants in Tokyo?

Yes, kaiseki restaurants in Tokyo generally require a reservation. Some Tokyo kaiseki restaurants are very popular and can be totally booked up weeks or even months in advance. To avoid missing out, it is a good idea to reserve a kaiseki experience ahead of time.
