Customer Reviews
An unforgettable experience that redefines fine dining. From the moment we stepped in, every detail - from the serene ambiance to the meticulously crafted dishes - leaves us in awe. Each course is a masterpiece, blending Japanese techniques with innovative flair. The flavours are bold yet delicate, showcasing the finest ingredients in the most unexpected ways. A truly jaw-dropping dining experience that lingers long after the meal.
No wonder it’s one of the most sought after bookings in Tokyo. It’s omakase w creativity. The sake pairing that accompanies the menu was also worthy and interesting. Service is impeccable. Truly worthy of the three star
Not the same Ryugin that we have visited many years ago when Ryugin only got a star. Back then it was very, very good. Hence the reason we booked this restaurant again when we visited Japan. This visit was in July 2024, on a day we guess probably the Chef was not in. We were disappointed. Among the many courses, there were 3 different dishes, corn soup, corn puree and corn something, all 3 tasting the same. Maybe, the junior chef has run out of ideas of what to serve us that night.
First and foremost: this is a traditional Kaizeki-style Japanese restaurant, as such it might outright not be everyone's cup of tea, purely from a conceptual point of view. We were served the menu of the night. I unfortunately failed to find a single course that I liked. Everything was very mushy, chewy, sometimes both. The flavors were quite one-dimensional, overwhelmingly algae and miso. I believe however that it is a question of taste. The service was unfortunately not great. While very nice, it felt quite hurried. Plates were being taken away while half the table was still eating. This is something that would never fly in a Michelin restaurant in the West, but perhaps it is acceptable in the East. Another thing is the lack of extras. There was very little off-menu which in the end felt like the price we payed (44'000 JPY) was quite high. All in all, it was a bit of a disappointing experience for a 3 star Michelin.
