House — Restaurant in Tokyo

If I could summarize our experience at House in one word, it would be “divine.” From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, the antique charm enveloped us like a warm embrace. The open kitchen not only added to the spaciousness but also infused the air with tantalizing aromas, setting the stage for a culinary journey like no other.

Each dish on the tasting menu was a masterpiece, showcasing the brilliance of Japanese ingredients through the lens of French culinary techniques. The Apple & Black Radish Buckwheat Tart was a delightful start, followed by the perfectly seared Squid with Cauliflower & Karasumi, which left us craving for more.

The Shibuya Mozzarella Burrata with Strawberry & Tomato was a symphony of flavors, while the Savoy Cabbage & Prosciutto Pot-au-feu with Truffle transported us to gastronomic bliss.

For the main course, the Flounder Fricassee with Engawa Fin paste & Sauce Reduction was a revelation, and the Char-grilled Organic Lamb with Roasted Baby Onion & Green Paste was nothing short of exceptional. The choice of grains was a thoughtful touch, allowing us to tailor our dining experience to perfection.

As if that wasn’t enough, the Grilled Mackerel Pilaf with Myoga & Sansho Pepper Sauce and the Teriyaki Foie Gras Pilaf with Shibazuke & Green Onion elevated our taste buds to new heights, leaving us in awe of the culinary prowess of the chefs.

To top it all off, the Organic Blood Orange Chiboust dessert was a sweet conclusion to an unforgettable meal, leaving us with memories that will linger long after the last bite.

In essence, House is more than just a restaurant; it’s a culinary sanctuary where Japanese ingredients shine bright, and every dish tells a story of passion and craftsmanship. If you’re looking for an extraordinary dining experience in Tokyo, look no...

Totally not worth it. It has been a while that had such a bad dinner.

The wine menu is just random and not build on quality. The orange wine is just window cleaner… who serves wine like that? That rather expensive wine tastes like a „orange“ wine you buy at 7/11.

The atmosphere and service are nice.

The cooking… oh boy. Who ever is in charge of the menu should change jobs. The sloppy execution it’s self is not the biggest problem.

Conceptually 50% of the menus dishes make no sense and are just bad. Burrata with strawberries gets totally ruined with a overly sweet meringue, if you combine savory and fruit and still need to ad 3kg sugar, you surely ruin the dish. Or a thistle cream like a kind of crème brûlée, salty. tasted like the most depressing baby food in the world.

Ar the meatball… straight from the fridge cold AF, no aroma and crisps with it? Really who has these ideas? Didn’t we left that in the 00s behind?

In total terrible dish creations sloppy executed with wine...

Very nice restaurant and a reasonable price point. Course menu only.

Good was generally quite good, flavors were not shocking, but there were some interesting and creative mixtures thrown in there (you can see the menu attached). For example burrata with crispy strawberry net. They unfortunately burnt the dessert (galette de rois) and the galette itself was basically just pie crust with no substantial filling. The ice cream was nice though, and we were too full by then anyway.

Portions were surprisingly large and reasonable for the number of courses. I left very full.

Ambiance is nice, and would be a romantic and quiet bistro. However they had some very very weird music playing that did NOT match the ambiance AT ALL. It was like some weird electronic remix of 70s synth reminiscent of music from a weird 70s science fiction movie, like Dune or the Star Wars cantina. (The music is Mr Bort by FORQ in case you're wondering). It was...
