We decided to splurge at Yakiniku for our last day in Tokyo. I wanted to do an omakase experience and since I do not eat seafood, this seemed like a great experience. It is an intimate space accomodating only about 8 guests at one time. It was great to watch the team work in front of us and loved the ability to interact. The food was exceptional and we really enjoyed it especially the onion cream, wagu with egg yolk and the foie gras. The multiple, well thought out courses make sure that you are well filled by the end of the meal and just in case, you have a large appetite, there is also an unlimited rice course at the end of the meal. The dessert was really good too with the creamiest vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries. They even give you a takeout bento box which really hit the spot the next morning Of note, If you do have allergies, you may have to be cautious as the same meals were served for all patrons despite us mentioning during and reaching out prior that I do not eat seafood. Thankfully I am not allergic and I let my husband have my portion. Overall, we had a great experience and loved it. Would have liked quiter environment (But that had more to do with the other loud guests and not really under the control of the restaurant)

We had THE best dining experience so far on our trip to Japan with the Watanabe family. We had the most delicious lunch, course after course (best baby squid and soba fish dishes we’ve ever had). While the food was second to none the hospitality was so genuine and warming. Everyone made it so special especially Mrs W, her husband and very talented chef son. Could not recommend highly enough - thanks for making our trip so special.
