“Honored to have experienced this restaurant”
We felt honored to have this wonderful experience. Its clear the facinating owner takes extreme pride in what he cooks and serving it to you as his guests. The wood was healthy and wonderful and true Japanese cuisine at its best. The owner will retire in October so do not miss this experience while ...you still have the chance.

“Shojin ryouri raised to haute cuisine”
Curiosity over how this restaurant in Azabu-juban serving vegetarian Buddhist cuisine earned its Michelin star, so we booked two seats for dinner. Dining in a private room creates ambience. Furthermore, being educated on the meditative reflection that monks perform before taking their meals (gokan n...o ge) was delightful. The dishes were very lightly seasoned, revealing thus the freshness of each morsel of vegetable incorporated in the 9-course meal. Surprisingly, a elderly male server attended to us (usually, 5-starred kaiseki restaurants employ kimono-clad ladies to serve the course meals). He tried his best to introduce each dish in English, after saying it in Japanese. 16000Y/person (excluding sake and other alcohol) seemed like a reasonable price to investigate this cuisine.

“A unique experience”
The chef/owner greets you and kneels at your side as he presents each dish and does his best to explain in English what the dish consists of. Everything in the multi course vegetarian meal was very special. I look forward to returning. Beware, no credit cards are accepted.

“Phenomenal Michelin starred vegetarian restaurant in Tokyo”
Easily the best food I ate in Japan. I'd visit Japan again just to eat at this restaurant. Google the name for more information, hours, cost, etc. You'll see why this restaurant is so amazing. Note that you need to make a reservation, and the restaurant is very small so it can't accommodate too man...y people. The owner-chef-server-host speaks a little English and can take reservations over the phone in English, but don't expect to have a complex conversation with him in English. He'll do his best to explain the food he's serving, but I often didn't know what I ate, but I loved it.

“Fantastic Buddhist Temple Cuisine - Shojin Ryori”
The multi-course vegetarian meal is served in a traditional setting, seated on the floor in a private dining room. The food is prepared beautifully and served with precision to delight both the eyes and the palate. This is truly a dining experience that should not be missed!
