Sudachi — Restaurant in Tokyo

This experience has so far been the highlight of my 2 week Japan Trip. I have another one coming up in Kyoto but Sudachi has set really high expectations. We booked a lunch reservation for ¥8,800 2 weeks ago. If you’re looking for a private experience I recommend booking a Table if you want to see how your meal is prepared book a counter . We booked the former as we’d like privacy and can take pictures of our food from all angles and be a little goofy/talkative in between meals. At the time of our visit there were ~3 chefs close to 15 guests so the entire place was intimate but not claustrophobic . Our own private area was huge by Japanese standards. The restaurant has been in the business for over 9years (surprising with the lack of reviews corresponding to years in operation ) Now onto the meal. Since I took the middle plan we were served 12 dishes in 9 intervals , our host was very detailed in explaining each of the dishes and also suggested how the meal is supposed to be had, few required mixing up. He also gave an explanation on each dish and the menu changes monthly. Our menu was comprised mainly sea food along with a couple of dishes of tofu and a dish comprising of wagyu and duck.

Came here for dinner on a Friday night. The place is a little hard to find, but as soon as I walked in, the staff warmly welcomed me, took my jacket and offered me a seat.

Even after when I misunderstood what the final cost would be, they kindly offered to refund part of the cost and were extremely gracious in doing so. I doubt most restaurants of their caliber would be willing to go this far for their customer's satisfaction.

I will definitely be dining here in the future and highly recommend others to...

Sudachi is located on a side street in the Minato area. It was hard to spot at first, but it is located underneath a Family Mart convenience store. There is a staircase located to the side of Family Mart where you can access this restaurant. The restaurant was very clean and very high-class feeling. There are small private dining "cubicles" for larger parties. To my knowledge, this place is reservation only and serves a kaiseki (懐石) form of meal. The food was great and the staff was very attentive. Always checking up on our party as well as explaining each dish as best as possible with their limited English. Sudachi offers high level of dining and is worth checking out if you are...
