Had an elegant Japanese meal where I was able to enjoy the tradition and flavors of Japan in one stop. Came to Ootsuka through a recommendation from a local, and it was a true treasure that was the highlight of my last jaunt to Tokyo. Yo, the head chef, used seasonal Japanese ingredients and presented them in an elegant way that kept the balance in each dish while accentuating the flavor of the wonderful island bounty.Highlights of the meal included clam soup, that tasted like fresh clams and the sea... was a great twist on a traditional Japanese starter, think about uni in soup form. Then had a deeper soup that had Japanese vegetables and snapper. After that moved on to a sashimi platter, Yo hand selects the fish in the morning...prepared in a way that disintegrated blissfully in the mouth. The chicken in the rice pot was done in a way unlike I had ever had, crispy skin and rice exploding with flavor in a nutty seasoning. The true star of the show was the wagyu beef, seared on the outside and just melting in the inside. I am a little sad I ate it because I know now I will never be able to enjoy american steak in the same way. Ended with a matcha and fresh fruits that left you feeling a bit brighter. Throughout the whole meal Yo was pairing it with amazing sakes where the cups were always overflowing.If you are in Tokyo, even for a day, this small restaurant is a must. Was an amazing experience and I am thankful I was able to find this hidden gem. Yo was super friendly, thoughtfully describing the food, and conversating with us throughout. Was not just a meal, it was an experience...Amazing and I will be back!
