Jul 2024 • couples
“We came here on our last night in Tokyo and the Kaiseki experience was unforgettable! While there was a thunderstorms outside, we enjoyed the most delicious food, created and prepared with so much attention to detail and personal relationships to the food by the chef. The explanations were really nice and the entire evening was wonderful. We enjoyed the nice location and the entire staff. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to eat exquisite food with origins with personal connections to the chef. Honestly we would recommend this to anyone looking to have a really special night.” — [Guest Review]


The Unique Features of Ise Sueyoshi’s Kaiseki Cuisine

Located in the quiet district of Hiroo, Tokyo, Ise Sueyoshi is a small, exclusive restaurant with only ten counter seats. This intimate setting allows guests to closely interact with the chef, who explains the story behind each dish, highlighting the cultural and seasonal significance of the ingredients used. At Ise Sueyoshi, you won’t just eat—you’ll experience the essence of authentic Japanese dining.

*Kaiseki cuisine is a traditional Japanese course meal that allows you to experience Japanese culture and seasons with all five senses. One of the most appealing aspects of a Kaiseki menu is that it changes with each season.
• For this reason, Kaiseki chefs are required to have a wide range of knowledge and skills and a deep understanding of the Japanese seasons.

Additionally, we pride ourselves on catering to a variety of dietary preferences, offering vegan, gluten-free, and halal-friendly options. This commitment ensures that all guests, regardless of their dietary needs, can enjoy a memorable and inclusive dining experience.
*Our philosophy for vegan and gluten-free guests can be found here:
