Kichijoji Miura — Restaurant in Tokyo

My colleague and I were invited to Miura for a business dinner with Japanese colleagues, so I am not sure of the final cost of it. What I can say is that the place looks amazing: understated but elegant, fairly quiet, with beautiful decor details, like the gorgeous ceramics at the entrance.

The food was outstanding: we were an odd group, with 3 omnivores (one - me - a randomly picky eater) and 1 vegan, but the staff was truly accommodating. I had looked at the menu before going there and I knew the AWABI was what I wanted. The butter sotéed awabi was amazing, as expected, but evertyhing else was equally delicious: we had the sashimi moriawase for 3 (pictured) and every mouthfull was a delight. We ordered the agedashi tofu for my vegan colleague and called it "dashinashi tofu" (also pictured). The 20 veggie salad (pic) looked like a work of art and tasted the same. The Imari beef (not pictured) was, according to another colleague, who is more of a carnivore, juicy and tender.

All in all, a very accomplished restaurant that can cater to various tastes and diets. Do make a reservation though, as it is insanely popular and you might need to do that weeks in advance...

We knew that we stumbled upon a gem when the appetiser came. The standards of the dishes we ordered were of extremely high quality and incredible value for its price.

Special mention to the waitress who took on the challenge of translating and explaining the different cuts of beef and the variety of sashimi.

It’s my third day in and around Tokyo and this is easily my favourite dinner...

Delicious lunch experience while visiting kichijoji. Ordered the set meal with 3 options: sushi, tempura, and grilled fish (you pick 2 of the 3 with the set). It also came with an assortment of appetizers, rice, soup, pudding dessert and tea at the end.

Separately ordered the steak and uni sushi (blow torched). A bit pricey at 880JPY/ piece but it melted in my...
