Kanda - Tokyo

Very comfortable.. Try the ultimate food.. The food and wine mix is very good. I love it.

An experience I will remember for a lifetime. Humiliated but deep flavors. Matsutake mushroom season was just an extra pleasure. p.s. the tuna toro with white truffle and sea salt... mind-blown.

This was a very special experience. It was my first time fine dining in Japan and it was very different than North America. The location was innocuous but from the moment I entered the restaurant, service was fantastic. I sat at the 8 person counter for an intimate kaiseki experience. I loved watching Chef Kanda work and they were gracious enough to explain everything to me in English. The flavors were so very different than the West that it's hard to describe- they were refined and beautifully complex and my drink pairings were a perfect match. Before going, I read some other less favorable reviews and I couldn't disagree more- Kanda was a highlight of my trip. Enjoy!

Went to this restaurant on our second day in Tokyo and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The testing menu is generally what you one would expect from a Michelin-started restaurant, but it was very different from what we have tried before. When we were served the first dish I was initially surprised how underseasoned it was compared to what we are used to in U.K. where everybody is chasing big and bald flavors, but here it is different. In a way the first dish set a baseline starting from which everything just made sense. Very clean dishes with not too much ingredients but executed to perfection. Although there is no formal drinks pairing option, staff would be happy to help with drink selection to match the dishes. As one would expect from a 3 Michelin starred restaurant, drinks choice is extensive and sommeliers are very knowledgeable. I would recommend use this opportunity to try something new unless you have very strong preference for your drinks for the evening. You will not be disappointed. I tried a few outstanding drinks that went very well with the menu. Very good impression overall. Food, drinks, great service and minimalistic design, everything I love in restaurants. Would definitely come back!

I can’t believe this is Michelin 3 star restaurant for years. Food is good but definitely not worth for 35,000 yen per person. Staff service was mediocre to non receptive. Not caring enough to bring water for empty glasses. Pace was pretty fast almost felt like they want to rush us for another reservation. Would never go back.
