Narisawa

October 16, 2025

My wife and I visited Narisawa to celebrate my birthday and had the pleasure of experiencing their Autumn Collection: Innovative Satoyama Cuisine. The ambience was simple and zen, providing a calm and elegant setting for the meal. The serving staff were consistently pleasant and friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience. Our favourite dishes included the Scallop from Hokkaido, cooked to perfection with an exquisitely soft and tender texture, complemented by a delicately rich sauce. The Hairy Crab with Salmon Roe, Hokkaido Sea Urchin, and Rice from Ehime and Kyoto were equally impressive. The rice, prepared much like a risotto, was perfect, and the seafood was handled with such finesse that every bite was a delight. The Langoustine from Kanagawa brought a wonderful taste of the ocean, paired beautifully with a homemade tomato sauce. A particularly memorable moment was watching the “Bread of the Forest” – Moss being baked right in front of us on a hot stone — a fascinating and delicious touch. The only slight downside was that the wine introduction felt a bit pushy at the beginning. Otherwise, everything was exceptional. It was also heartwarming to have Chef Yoshihiro Narisawa personally greeting diners, adding a special, personal touch to the experience. Overall, it was a truly memorable celebration, and we look forward to returning.

Everything I’d expect from a 2 Michelin stared restaurant in Japan. The intent of every dish, every ingredient, even every movement of the waitstaff was recognized. The dishes prepared were beautiful and delicious, the descriptions were just detailed enough for you to spend extra attention to each bite. The message of seasonality and sustainability was received. It was one of the more memorable tasting/omakase meals I have partaken in because of its precise and clean flavors. Can’t wait to visit during a different season!

It was my first time in Tokyo, and I was lucky enough to score a reservation at Narisawa. The entire experience was beautiful - thoughtful, inspiring, and artfully curated from start to finish. Every dish told a story, and its presentation perfectly complemented the overall journey. Added on the sake pairing and it was well worth it!

Green tea from Fukuoka was so good and very fresh. Sake from Toyama Fried Squid with caviar on top. It was so crunchy and delicious The grilled scallop has umami flavor , with the onion sauce cream and dashi and bonito. Th creas was so delicious. It is hit my spot. The Eel with corn and truffle was good but not my favourite. The bread of the forest was really impressive. They baked it in front of us. I can taste the orange inside the bread and it enhanced when I added butter inside the bread. The grouper was good, well balance,soft like tofu and no smell at all. The wagyu beef so delicious and it was medium rare. The sauce was ok. The Dark brown sugar was so tasty and bouncy very well match vanilla ice cream. The Melon was the star, the cream carbonated was surprised me. It was so unbelievable good The Hebesu and honey was very delicious too. It was well balance with honey and a little bit tangy flavour We got surprise cake for our reunion. So thoughtful and well deserve as Michelin double stars. The Staff very polite and informative. For sure, I will come back. The price for the quality food and service worth it because they looked the specialty each part of Japan

Dining at NARISAWA was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, everything felt refined and intentional, from the beautiful plates and atmosphere to the flawless service. The food was true fine dining in every sense. Each course was creative yet deeply rooted in Japanese tradition, with flavors that were precise, bold, and memorable. Even something as simple as the wasabi sauce stood out and left a lasting impression. The entrance of the restaurant is towards the back of the building it was a little bit confusing and not very well marked. Did you know NARISAWA has been ranked among the World’s 50 Best Restaurants and is known for its innovative approach called “Innovative Satoyama Cuisine,” which celebrates nature and sustainability? That philosophy comes through in every bite. What makes NARISAWA so special is the way it combines artistry, hospitality, and taste into one seamless experience. It is the kind of restaurant that makes you say wow at every step. Truly one of the finest dining experiences in Japan.
