Okajoki — Restaurant in Tokyo

Terrible - Note in English at entrance saying foreigners can not enter if not accompanied by a Japanese persson

Today went there with my wife and at about 16:30 PM afternoon the restaurant was 90% empty.

The person at the entrance pointed us to a note saying that after 4 PM can not enter the restaurant if not accompanied by a Japanesse person .....????

That is a 100% cover for clear racism and hatred against foreigners that come to visit Tokyo ...

The traditional house setting adds a wonderful touch—warm, welcoming, and full of character. A perfect place to enjoy Japanese cuisine in an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic...

Arrived Friday morning, about 20 minutes before opening and we were the first ones in line. I had screen capped everything I wanted to eat and showed it to the cashier. Unfortunately, those dishes were only available at dinner. However, the lady was nice and pulled out a handwritten menu with English translations. I was worried they wouldn't let me in having read previous reviews about them not letting in foreigners but this wasn't the case at all. The fish is really just fire roasted without any oil except its own so if you're used to a bit of extra oil on ur fish, you might find it to be lacking in flavor. However, we...
