Very disappointing meal, especially for the price.  Most dishes were bland and had no taste.  Nice presentation and it was cool to see some dishes being made, but most things just did not taste good.  Steak and picked cucumbers were pretty much the only items that tasted good.  Everything else was nothing special and some just plain bad.  Wine pours were ridiculously tiny - about two sips worth.  Service was so so.  Had to ask for water each time.  It was also ridiculously hot and even after I asked to have the AC turned on (it was over 80 degrees outside and the AC was off when we came), it was still way too hot in the restaurant.  I am shocked by their Michelin star.  I guess you really can't trust the Michelin guide any more.  Considering the $800 price tag for a family of 4 with only two tiny glasses of wine, this place was mostly a total disappointment. I do not recommend this restaurant.

I had dinner here on October 4, 2022 with two business partners. I use the Guide Michelin restaurant App and chose this restaurant because it was not far from my hotel.
Akasaka is a small interesting district of Tokyo that I prefer.
About the restaurant:
I have to split my rating into three parts.
1. food
Overall, the food was very good. And for this the chef has rightly received a Michelin star.
It was a very nice experience. if it were solely about the food, I would be very happy to come back.
2. wine and service
The wine selection is relatively good, although French wines dominate. Regrettably, the chef does not have Japanese wines, and in particular, no wines from Yamagata. This is a bit of a shame. The service and the way of presenting the wine was not worthy of one star.
3. air conditioning and smoke
This is the real reason for my negative verdict. it absolutely cannot be that during the meal the restaurant filled with white and blue smoke. Although we pointed out the chef, and the name almost nothing. This condition is improving somewhat. At a later date, the restaurant was again consumed.
I am sorry for my bad review, but we did not feel comfortable and our clothes smelled unpleasant (like a cheap Korean restaurant)
In the aftermath, I read other review and not for the first time I saw that other guests made similar criticism. Here, the chef should definitely invest and eliminate the grievances as soon as possible.

The Kaiseki course was well-crafted.  It perfectly demonstrated the use of some of the rather simple and humble ingredients and present them in their most authentic way.  Overall, the meal gave us a sense of peacefulness with the food being relatively light in taste, but the chef put his own twist to every dish and took them to a completely different level.

A bit of a shame that the head chef doesn't really speak a lot of English as we were quite interested to know more about his culinary philosophy (he did tried his best to chat with us and even Google translate the dish for us!) but otherwise a wonderful experience!

Be careful!
They charged me for the most expensive tea and/or special beer, I have ever had. We were two people and had the 11 course kaseiki dinner at 27.500 yen, 3 beers a 900 yen, a special beer and cold green tea. We were charged on a non itemized handwritten bill 67,639 yen. That leaves 39,639 yen for the tea and special beer! I noticed that we just got a handwritten piece of paper with 67,639 yen stated on it and not a printed bill like the guests beside us, but I didn’t think much of it until we were back at our hotel. So be careful not to get scammed if you are a tourist.

Extremely disappointed in the service we received when trying to attend this restaurant. I use the Michelin guide while travelling and had seen good things online about this restaurant. I booked via their website a month before visiting Tokyo and received an automated email saying they would be in touch. After multiple follow up emails our booking still hadn’t been confirmed. We arrived at the restaurant at the date and time of the booking request and were quickly pushed out for not having our reservation confirmed. They were not able to help us or offer any explanation to why all of my booking requests had been ignored. I expected better from somewhere that has received a Michelin star.
