Sushi Sawada**, Tokyo
2 michelin star sushi One of the most highly-rated sushi in Tokyo. Masterchef KOJI SAWADA runs this tiny sushi place single-handedly with his wife as the sole waitress. An immensely intimidating atmosphere where we were told repeatedly not to take photographs. The chef later did however apologize and explained that Japanese his regular customers find … Read more

Kadowaki **, Tokyo
*SFREELIFE SIGNATURE* Kadowaki , Azubu-Juban Japanese Kaiseki with a twist. Back in 2008, Kadowaki shot to world-wide fame with the arrival of Michelin Guide in Tokyo, albeit with a totally different reason : Toshiya Kadowaki, owner of Azabu Kadowaki, turned down the chance to appear in Michelin’s Tokyo guide. He can serve only 21 covers … Read more

Honmura-An (Soba) , Tokyo
Famous SOBA restaurant, hailed from the Big Apple. An atypical success story where the original shop, run by Japanese, actually opens first in New York before it was relocated back to Tokyo! Start the meal with simple but mouth-watering starters like the ITAWASA (fish-cake), Konyaku-Jelly in Ponzu and YUBA-sashimi (tofu-skin). However, the highlight has to … Read more

Tsukiji Yamamoto (FUGU) **, Tokyo
Long-standing, famous FUGU-senmon (fugu specialist) restaurant near Tsukiji Market. 2 Star Michelin ever since the guide was printed – losing only to recently-crowned 3 star USUKIFUGU YAMADAYA. As with most michelin-rated FUGU place, Yamamoto serves a Fugu-Kaiseki or a blowfish- course conprising of every imaginable part of the highly-prized, seasonal puffer fish. The best ones … Read more

Fukamachi* (Tempura), Tokyo
1 Michelin Star Tempura in Ginza (Kyobashi) , Tokyo Consistently superlative quality of tempura shrines through the whole meal. Yes, there are several more high-profile (2 and even 3 stars) michelin-rated Tempura in Tokyo but unless you are one tempura-connoisseur , most of us would not find Fukamachi inferior by any means. The location is … Read more
