Minato City, Tokyo, Japan｜Nishiazabu Ōtake

A small restaurant located in the Roppongi area that serves amazing Japanese cuisine. Dishes are carefully prepared using seasonal ingredients and the flow of the lunch course worked perfectly. The rice dish means that you will be able to take with you the unfinished portion as well. Make a reservation ahead of time if you intend to visit and you definitely will not be disappointed.

Definitely chanced upon a gem in our Michelin adventure. I seldom rate 5🌟 for every aspect of a restaurant but Nishiazabu Otake deserves it all and maybe more! The food was spectacular! Every dish was an original and the layers of flavour and texture were out of this world unforgettable. Even the dessert, a simple scoop of Fig Ice-cream, was incredible. On my first taste, it was like “I don’t really know what I am eating but this tastes wow!” Definitely a must visit if you’re in Tokyo. No regrets! We tried at least 10 Michelin type restaurants over a span of a week but only this one was worth calling out! Service here is impeccable as they make every effort to make you feel at home.
