Fantastic meal at this Italian-Japanese fusion restaurant. Husband and wife team with no further staff.
As it was during truffle season there was plenty of it. And it was extraordinary. Two dishes deserve a highlight. The risotto course, a perfectly al dente cooked rice base, topped with shirako and karasumi. The sweetness of the shirako balanced by the saltiness of the karasumi, paired with rice is an unique combination and pure genius. The other course was a simple pasta hand made during the meal, served in a light cream sauce and topped with a soft boiled egg and shaved white Alba truffles. In my view the simple dishes always work best with truffles and this one was spot on. The pasta al dente and the richness of the egg enhanced the fragrance of the truffles, high level indulgence.

Another great meal at the tempura master. His constantly evolving range of ingredients paired with his frying mastery makes every meal an adventurous journey.

Excellent nodoguro (Blackthroat Seaperch ) ramen. The noodles are made especially for the store. They are straight and fully cooked.

- Gerhard Huber added a new meal Lunch at Imoto (井本) at Imoto (井本)
A little but under the radar kaiseki restaurant. However it is a Chef’s choice for Monday lunch and/or dinner. That by itself gives it away.
Great ingredients, perfect execution and great flavor combinations.
Imoato san also excels in hospitality.

Keita Aoyama studied sushi making at the legendary Sushi Taichi, where he was for years the head apprentice. In 2017 he opened his own shop close to the former Tsukiji market.
The nigiris are medium sized with the shari having a high acidity, seasoned with akazu and salt. The neta is of high quality and are being served in different temperatures in order to bring out the best in them.
A casual place, serving great sushi at a reasonable price.
