Best Organic Food Restaurants in Shinjuku

Our first time with shabu shabu and our experience could not have been better. A little difficult to find, but you are welcomed with a big smile and wonderful service. Excellent menu choices, we went with one of the Wagyu beef and one with pork. Multiple courses for both. Appetizers/starters are wonderful then we came to the main course for shabu shabu. It took a few minutes to cook the vegetables and they were delicious. When we added the meats, it would only take a few seconds to deliver a very tasty morsel. Two dipping sauces – we both favored the sesame, which was delicious. After dinner, the rice porridge was an excellent treat, all topped off with homemade ice cream. Excellent menu with meal choices, wine, whiskey, and beer choices, and absolutely terrific service. I’m not sure if we can find another shabu shabu that is better but if you are in Tokyo, you must come here!

This was our 1st time in Tokyo & were excited to try authentic Japanese cuisine! We were staying in Shibuya & wanted somewhere walking distance nearby. By chance, we booked Kappo Sanoya...it's located on a quiet street on the lower level of a small building, but don't let it's humble appearance fool you! Inside was a master Chef ready to create, educate & entertain his few guests (it holds 8 people max per sitting) Chef Masayuki Sano meticulously prepared each unique dish...we couldn't wait to try each one! The sake pairings were spot on matching without overpowering the dishes. We enjoyed our meal so much that while we were still there, we booked for the next night too! He amazed us again with a whole new menu! We feel blessed to experience top quality true Japanese cuisine! Arigato Chef 😋

Essence was so wonderful. The food was delicious, with unique tastes and flavors, the chef was very friendly and attentive, and (most importantly) my girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I was really enjoying the bread rolls ... and as we were leaving the chef offered us a fresh loaf to take home! Just an all around great experience.

Another perfect dining experience. Great food and service. I thought I was tranported back to italia where I lived for several years. Always make it a point to get here when I can. Grazie mille
