Why we recommend it
Narisawa is one of Tokyo's best-known fine-dining restaurants, led by chef Yoshihiro Narisawa, whose cooking draws on the idea of satoyama, the managed countryside where Japanese farmland meets forest. The tasting menu changes with the seasons and leans on produce, seafood and foraged ingredients sourced from around Japan, presented with a strong sense of place and a degree of theatre.
This is a special-occasion meal, so budget accordingly and allow a long evening. Reservations are taken only through the restaurant's online booking partner linked from its website, not by phone, and popular dates go early, so book as far ahead as you can and mention any dietary requirements when you do. The restaurant is in Minami-Aoyama, a short walk from Aoyama-itchome and Gaienmae stations, which makes it easy to reach from central Tokyo.
