Kagurazaka Ishikawa

Excellence in taste, presentation, ambiance, service, quality to name a few. Well deserved Michelin 3 stars!

Kagurazaka Ishikawa's dishes look simple; be it grilled, steamed, fried, and simmered, they could consistently coax out the subtle essence/taste of the seasonal produce and meat. Even the rice served at the end of the course is exceptional.
They adhere closely to the tradition of washoku, besides tastiness, presentation and plating are of great importance. Dishes are served on tableware like mino-yaki or lacquerware , and drinks with fine vintage Baccarat crystal glassware.
Be it seated at the sought-after counter (table is from centuries old hinoki) or private room, service is always cheerful and enthusiastic. Chef-owner Hideki Ishikawa ensures he meets, chats, and thanks his guests.
His restaurant also has a good selection of sakes, and quite often has the Juyondai.
The only issue is, need to plan early to get a reservation.

The juxtaposition of casual warmth and extreme excellence in execution and finesse is rarely seen anywhere in the entire world. I loved this meal and this chef and the team.

This is the best example of the kind of restaurant that the food does not look very special on the surface, but once you taste it you are immediately impressed the large amount of effort and technique being put into preparation. If you can't get a booking, it's sister restaurant "Ren" is definitely worth a try.

One of the best Kaisen ryori in town, perfect preparation and always new creative ideas!

Amazing food. Very simple and tasty. Excellent staff.

Astonishing. The dishes are either simply and perfectly designed and executed or more playful and challenge ideas about texture and flavor. The dish with cutlass and lotus root was the most amazing dish I've ever had. The flavor drawn forth from simple root and fish were totally unexpected.

The chef prepared various kinds of fish as we do not eat meat, and they were very good. The vegetables, however, were not as good. We have had tastier vegetables at much cheaper restaurants.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had and I made sure to return a second time. Subtle and very nuanced flavours.

One of the best meals I’ve eaten, would definitely recommend!

帰りは店主が私たちが見えなくなるまでお見送りしてくださり、さすが一流店のサービスは違うなと思わされました。
高級店ですが、また記念日などに伺いたいです。
