We had a truly delightful experience at Fushikino. I had the 9-course kaiseki with sake pairing. Each course and accompanying sake pairing were served on fine ceramic ware or lacquer ware, and the presentation was exquisite. The courses were served at a leisurely pace, with enough time to savor... each course. My personal favorite was the bonito sashimi (course 3). Coming from abroad, my initial impression of bonito was associated with the fish flake, but the bonito sashimi was wonderful, either eaten alone or with the complementing dipping sauce. The different sakes were selected to complement the respective courses, some were chilled, some were warm, and a few were actually chilled sparkling sakes. The quantities provided were generous, but I purposely held back to make sure I can enjoy the food without getting too tipsy. The serving staff was courteous and helpful, and at least one member of the staff spoke English, which made the experience more accessible to visitors from abroad. There is also an option for dining in a private room for a very reasonable charge, and we ate in this room. Overall a real highlight of our trip.

The restaurant sounded a bit too expensive as we haven’t visited restautants at such price range. But it was awesome. The dinner and sakes were all forth of every yen. The food was great and it was nicely enhanced with accompanying sakes that were served in different ways depending on the sake. The ...dinner was the absolute highlight of our two week Japan trip.

Fushikino was a highlight of our week in Tokyo. Essentially a tasting menu with sake pairings, the delivery and associated explanation is handled by the owner in this small (10 seat) restaurant. The selected sakes were complex and opened our eyes (or taste buds!) to what good sake could be. As go...od as the sake was, the food too was a treat. Was the evening worth the high cost? Absolutely. We made a reservation online a week before we arrived in Tokyo, and a lead time is apparently often needed. I can understand why as Fushikino’s reputation becomes more well known.

I was taken to this restaurant for my birthday this year and it was an incredible experience. We went for the 8 course menu paired with a different sake for each course and the sake masters carefully explained the origins of each sake type and the production procedure. The food courses were immacula...te in taste and presentation and a fantastic example of traditional Japanese cuisine at its finest. The sake cups were an amazing exhibition of japanese art and craft and one of which we were informed was over 200 years old, and we were honoured to have been able to use such a historical item! Each cup was uniquely chosen in various antique shops by the sake master and there was a story for each artist of every cup. The staff were absolutely superb, very knowledgable and wonderfully friendly and welcoming. An amazing experience and one which will not be forgotten soon.
