“A+”
One of my favourite restaurants in tokyo and because it’s rather large, easier to get reservations 2 set menus to choose from each season, and regardless, each dish is very good to excellent. No worries about feeling hungry after the meal, there is a lot of food and the last carb dish will fill up ...your stomach. And the superb dessert is the perfect ending (milk ice cream with tofu mochi this time, unlike the lazy dessert like fruits) Excellent and friendly service of course

“Skip”
Staff was lovely but the food was baffling. Basically inedible and for the price it was shocking. Flavor profiles didn’t work at all for me. So many other better restaurants in Tokyo to try.

“Every mouthful was Oishi!”
I'm just writing a short review to say that Kikunoi is alive and well and the food is delicious. But of course this does not do justice to the whole experience. The staff were a joy to watch as they prepared course by course. Every mouthful was worth the extravagant figure that we paid to dine ...here. The boss (head chef, I'm sorry I dont know his name), greeted us and kept an eye on everythin, and with beneficence pointed things out to his staff. There were ten courses in our 22000 yen course, and we were well sated. I never know how much taste and flavour could be packed into one small spoonful. The team of chefs lined up to bid us farewell. Very touching!

“Very Good If You Like Seafood”
I have to preface this review by saying that amongst all the cuisine choices that are available, seafood is typically my least favorite. With that disclosure, I can say that the food here is excellent, and if I were just a bit more in love with seafood, this could’ve been one of my favorite resta...urants. As it is though the meal for me was good but not mind blowing, but that has nothing to do with their quality or presentation, it has everything to do with my palate. If you enjoy seafood, you will LOVE Akasaka Kikunoi.

“Kaseiki Seasonal Dinner”
Kyoto style Kaseiki dinner is for special occasion. So it was here our party came to enjoy chef Yoshihiro Murata’s delicate yet flavorful cuisine. Most memorably of this 2*Michelin eatery was: Hassun for artistry and texture (ginkgo nuts were sublime); Mukouzuke for freshness and contrast between ra...w and marinated fish; Hutamono for delicacy of eel and mushroom broth in an earthen pot. Memorable!
