Decent experience, great food, but several details fall short for a Michelin-star restaurant The food here is genuinely excellent. The quality of the fish, the precision of the cutting, and the overall preparation were all at a very high level. You can clearly see the technique and craftsmanship behind each dish, and in that sense, the restaurant absolutely delivers. However, for a Michelin-star establishment, I expected a more complete experience, and a few things were surprisingly disappointing. The service team spoke almost no English, which made it quite difficult to understand what we were eating throughout the menu. The food itself was great, but part of the value of a Michelin restaurant is the explanation, storytelling, and interaction with the staff, and that was missing. Another downside was the drinks service. While other guests were offered tap water, we were not, and we were automatically given bottled water instead, which we were later charged for. It is a small detail, but again, in a Michelin-star environment, consistency and fairness across tables should be a given. Overall, while the food was truly high-quality, the service and communication gaps impacted the experience. I’m glad I tried it, but I’m sure I will find better overall Michelin-level experiences in Tokyo.
