Okamoto （おかもと）

Located just a 1-minute walk from Kamiyacho Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, "Okamoto" proudly hangs its noren (entrance curtain) in the heart of the city. It is a Japanese restaurant that carefully selects seasonal ingredients and delivers them with the masterful skills of the head chef. The restaurant has earned one Michelin star in the Tokyo Michelin Guide 2023.

Hidetsugu Okamoto, who rose to the position of head chef at the Michelin two-star ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant) Wakuden in Kyoto, ventured out on his own and opened "Ginza Okamoto" in 2012. Since 2013, the restaurant has continued to earn Michelin stars.

Once you take a seat at the counter, the splendid culinary preparation begins right before your eyes. The exquisite techniques of the master chef transform the carefully selected ingredients into exceptional dishes, fully showcasing their charm. One of the charms of "Okamoto" is the opportunity to experience artistic Japanese cuisine in an atmosphere filled with the passion of top-class chefs. While rooted in traditional Japanese cuisine, the dishes at "Okamoto" incorporate unique and creative touches that distinguish the restaurant.

The signature menu item is the karasumi (bottarga) soba. It features generously sprinkled coarsely grated karasumi, allowing you to enjoy the texture of the soba noodles and the fragrant flavor. The mackerel sushi, which is made from fatty mackerel caught during the autumn to the winter season and serving it throughout the year, is also highly regarded. Vegetables, an essential element of Japanese cuisine, primarily consist of richly flavored Kyoto vegetables. The restaurant also emphasizes the rice used and selects the most suitable varieties to enhance the flavors of the dishes, including rice from Niigata and Kyoto. As for sake, they offer a wide selection of crisp and dry varieties, with a focus on those from Niigata.

The interior of the restaurant incorporates both Japanese and Western elements, with a counter seating of nine, including premium seats, and a private room with a five-seat L-shaped counter. It is suitable for various occasions such as anniversaries, family meals, and business entertainment. We invite you to visit during different seasons and experience the changing seasons through the finest seasonal ingredients.
