An all-time favorite sushi-ya. Taisho is very friendly. Even with limited communication, he always makes you feel comfortable and welcome. Also, staff is helpful with announcing and showing each fish being served, either with a reference book or google translation.
Harutaka is a true master of his craft. The omakase was creative and original. He served so many fish that I had not seen regularly. It is not your standard service. The best bite was the razor clam, the uni, and the tiger prawn. The resturant was packed and the procession was quick. By 1030 I was asked to leave. He is a true sushi master.
Exceptional cuisine, passion, tradition and etiquette make a dining experience divine. I don’t want to leave Tokyo after our dinner at Harutaka - 特別に優れた!!
Harutaka is one of Tokyo's top sushi addresses, and ranked second after the almost saintly Sushi Saito in Tabelog. And , what can I say, it is an amazing experience. The omakase menu served by the chef is outstanding. All of the sushi pieces served are of outstanding quality, and among those the otoro, the anago, uni, kohada and tiger shrimp stood out. The otoro was memorable - melt-in-the-mouth-oh-my-god. After dinner here, it will be a long long time before I set foot in a sushi restaurant in Europe (unless in Paris, London or Stockholm). Service was friendly and attentive, and the sake we chose both excellent and cheap. The atmosphere was relaxed, and though the chef spoke no English, one of the sous chefs explained the servings with help of a sushi manual....
