Best Romantic Restaurants in Komazawa / Sakura Shinmachi

We found this omakase on TikTok while planning for our trip. This place is not viral (yet) by any means. It just so happened that a creator recommended them on their videos and we are so glad we booked here. The owners are super sweet and attentive to the entire experience. Not only was the food excellent, they made sure to explain and teach us about the different sushi pieces but gave us more recommendations for places to visit during our trip. Highly recommend and definitely worth traveling all the way from Mexico!

One of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had in Japan! The course menu was absolutely incredible, with exceptional Kobe beef and equally amazing vegetarian options. It’s rare to find a restaurant where both meat eaters and vegetarians can enjoy such an outstanding experience. The service was impeccable, and our drink selections were just as impressive. Tucked away on a quiet backstreet, the restaurant opens up into a beautiful, intimate space surrounded by gorgeous bonsai trees. Everything from the atmosphere to the food and service was top-notch. Highly, highly recommend, especially if you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience that caters to both vegetarians and meat lovers!

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!

The chef was great, very welcoming, explained each food item (we had the Omakase) and the food was delicious.

Booked last minute and wow what a great place, a must if you can get there. the steak was amazing
