Hyperlocal Tokyo

This wine bar offers delicious food at great prices. While the wine selection is on the pricier side, it's still very reasonable compared to other wine bars. I love how they don't try to rush through customers and instead focus on making each group feel special. I truly believe that the food at wine bars is always better than at mediocre restaurants. Maybe it's because of the delicate nature of the dishes or the meticulous preparation? This was a wonderful place.

A cozy private room experience. This creative Japanese restaurant is located a bit off the beaten path in Roppongi. The refined flavors were absolutely delicious. The truffle rice at the end was fragrant and went down smoothly. Adding a raw egg for a flavor change made it even more delicious! ✨ Highly recommended for a date. ✨

I visited on Saturday, September 2023, at 6 PM. I revisited because I had enjoyed the truffle rice I had last October. It is located near Nogizaka Station and the National Museum of Art. There is no signboard, but the restaurant is located on the basement floor, which you can access by taking the elevator from the entrance of the building. Once you get off the elevator, you are immediately taken to a private room. You won't encounter any other customers. You can enjoy seasonal dishes every time. First, I had a dish of Kinjiso (a type of Japanese herb). It was my first time trying it, and I was surprised by how delicious it was! I had no idea such a vegetable existed. The appetizer was beautifully arranged with autumn leaves, giving me a taste of early autumn. 🍁 The wild boar cutlet was also piping hot and very delicious. Finally, you can order truffle rice for an additional fee. They ask you before you start the course, so of course, I ordered it. The timing of the food service was excellent, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was wonderful, making me feel happy every time I come here. The owner is also knowledgeable about sake, so if you ask for recommendations, you won't be disappointed. They only serve bottled beer. I will definitely visit again.

My senior invited me to a Japanese restaurant. It all started with me getting lost trying to find the right exit at Nogizaka Station, which has a rather confusing layout (laughs). We took the elevator down to the basement, and the restaurant was located in a small room at the end of a narrow corridor. The food was a set course, as you can see, and I was satisfied with both the quality and quantity. We enjoyed some sake together, and I was surprised by the bill. It was incredibly affordable, which was a pleasant surprise. I guess this place is known for its great value. Senior, thank you for the meal!

A perfect restaurant in Roppongi for business dinners or dates. The truffle rice is so delicious that it's become a contender for my last meal. I absolutely love it. The private rooms use bells to call the staff. Apparently, they can tell which room is calling based on the pitch of the bell.
