Fukunokawa Ishida — Restaurant in Tokyo

In all my years, I can count only a handful of blissful moments that I hold dear and often revisit in my mind. My dining experience at Ishida-san's establishment has undeniably secured a place among them. I left with an absolute satisfaction. Never before have I encountered such an overwhelming sense of complete satisfaction from every delicacy within the confines of a restaurant. Regrettably, residing in California restricts my ability to savor its delights at will. Nevertheless, this bittersweet realization fuels my anticipation for future visits to Tokyo specifically to Ishida-san's culinary heaven once again.

The moment I stepped foot into Ishida-san's fine dining Japanese restaurant, I was instantly transported into a surreal realm. The meticulous attention to detail exhibited by Ishida-san and his remarkable staff was truly unparalleled. Each dish was a work of art, masterfully crafted to awaken the senses and ignite a profound appreciation for the essence of Japanese cuisine for a first time visitor like myself.

The presentation alone was a feast for the eyes that evoked a sense of harmony, tranquility and gratitude.

Beyond the sheer brilliance of the cuisine, the impeccable service provided by Ishida-san's staff was a testament to their commitment to creating an unforgettable experience.

As I reluctantly bid farewell to Ishida-san's establishment, a mixture of gratitude and longing enveloped me. Gratitude for having had the privilege to partake in such an extraordinary culinary adventure, and longing for the day when I would have the opportunity to return and immerse myself once again in Ishida-san's culinary mastery. It is a place of culinary pilgrimage, and whenever Tokyo beckons, I shall eagerly make my way to Ishida-san's doorsteps, ready to be enthralled and...

Absolutely amazing experience. Went there for omakase, which basically means the chef chooses and brings out dishes for you.

It was a fantastic experience with delicious food paired with good wine and sake. The chef is extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

Great...

Delicious food, a friendly chef in a nice cozy setting.

No English menu, but google translate takes care of that, and the chef and staff were very helpful despite us not speaking Japanese.

Highly...
