Had a wonderful time at Tenoshima as part of our first trip to Japan. We had a 9 course meal and every dish was delightful and delicious. Plating was gorgeous, and the wine pairing selections were perfect. The sailfish may have been the best thing I ate for the entire trip. The staff took the time to explain each dish to us in English, including and English course menu. One member of their team had lived in the US so she was able to go in depth about the dishes and answer any questions we had about them. She even gave us a few recommendations of things to see in the city, such as the Christmas light show about 10min from the restaurant. The chef came over a few times to chat with us as well, he even brought out his whiskey stash and explained them to help choose a nightcap. The atmosphere was modern/classic, with gentle music. A great place to just vibe. This place has more than earned it's Star, has been one of the highlights of our trip, and I'll be recommending to anyone visiting Tokyo.
Wonderful dinning experience. The food was vibrant. The staff, especially Sari and Erika, explained the courses and answered many specific questions about the dishes and Japanese cooking techniques. Chef/owner Hayashi Ryohei came to the table and greeted each guest.
Very cozy and small, but so touchy restaurant. There is Chef’s table, so you can see how some dishes are created. The menu is full: starters, soups, main course and desserts. Everything is very tasty and made with a soul. Be hungry after your visit, because the set is very nourishing. There is very good choice of sake, different cocktails and other drinks. I advise you to book table in advance. The restaurant is located on 2d floor.
