I was invited by a friend to a restaurant I had been curious about for a long time!! Thank you all for your recommendations.Although I arrived just in time, I experienced a strange phenomenon where I could see the restaurant from the overpass but couldn’t find a way down. After wandering around, I discovered a staircase right next to me. What a surprise!! Haha.Despite that rocky start, the restaurant's exterior was impressive. My excitement was palpable the moment I arrived.Upon entering, the first thing I noticed was the strong sense of teamwork. The personality of the head chef was evident, but it was the positive atmosphere among the staff that truly stood out. Even while discussing their travels abroad, they seemed genuinely happy and proud, which made me feel delighted just listening to them. I may work in a completely different field, but I would love to work in a place like this!!I started with orange wine, followed by craft beer, summer Japanese sake, and red wine. The red wine was particularly memorable. It was delicious right after opening, but after letting it breathe for a bit, its character changed. This kind of experience adds to the entertainment!!Now, onto the food.I was completely captivated from the very first dish, the foie gras monaka. It wasn’t just the richness of the foie gras; the tartness of the raspberry and the texture of the pickled vegetables kept it interesting until the end....Simply delightful.The yuba chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) was a must-try for chawanmushi lovers....Simply delightful.The signature Den Taki was a treat, with the texture of edamame and the aroma of young ginger....Simply delightful.The zuke (marinated fish) was served with not just wasabi but also a seaweed tsukudani (preserved seaweed)....Simply delightful.The summer vegetables with grouper were impressive, not only because of the high-quality fish but also due to the wonderful harmony with the vegetables....Simply delightful.And of course, the Den salad. The vegetables, prepared through various cooking methods like frying and grilling, harmonized beautifully on one plate....Simply delightful.The soup was excellent as well. The sweetness of the new onions stood out, with duck underneath, cooked to perfection....Simply delightful.The sakura shrimp clay pot rice was honestly at a level where sakura shrimp could take center stage. The miso soup and pickles were perfect too.Of course, I had seconds....Simply delightful.The dessert was delicious, but by that point, I was so overwhelmed with emotion that I couldn’t find the words....Simply delightful.We talked about travel, hobbies, and experiences abroad. It was not just about the food; I enjoyed every moment spent there.And finally, the star of the show, the adorable dog appeared. Too cute....So unfair.Food, drinks, people, and atmosphere.Everything combined to create one complete entertainment experience.I definitely want to come back.Food: Unique dishes that blend creativity and skill.Drinks: Enjoyable wines and sake.Atmosphere: The team spirit is fantastic.Staff: Everyone is star-worthy.Cost: More than reasonable considering the quality.[Restaurant Information]Name: DenAddress: 2-3-18 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, 1F Architect Association Building JIAType: Innovative JapaneseFeatures: A style that flexibly incorporates culinary cultures and techniques from around the world while being based on Japanese cuisine.

I was looking forward to this visit since I couldn't make it last time due to prior commitments. Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by a lovely atmosphere filled with various plants, a reflection of Hasegawa's personal taste. There were many unique items from overseas that you don't often see. The meal was consistently delicious, and I enjoyed a bowl of shirasu rice. It was a great meal, thank you!
I regularly visit Den, and this is my review from June 2026.The gentle sweetness of new onions, the freshness of edamame and bell peppers, the robust umami of Isaki and Kue, and the fragrant Sakura shrimp.Each dish showcases the distinct flavors of the ingredients while harmoniously blending Den's signature sweetness and richness.Moreover, the tea pairings complement each dish with refreshing notes, vibrant aromas, and pleasant astringency, enhancing the overall experience.This course beautifully...

Even after visiting so many times, I realize there are still many dishes I have yet to discover. The familiar Monaka, Den Tacky, and salad provide a comforting sense of reliability, while the other dishes add an extra layer of deliciousness. The outstanding service and cozy atmosphere make it a place where you can enjoy a dining experience that is more than just about the food.I always look forward to my next visit, and I know time will fly by once again.

Den has always been in my mind as a pioneer of hard-to-book restaurants, alongside the famous "Sanpi Ryoron" in Ebisu about ten years ago. Back then, I wasn't particularly focused on making a reservation, just thinking it would be nice to visit someday. Recently, however, I decided to seriously explore dining options and managed to visit through a cancellation slot.I have been to several Michelin-starred restaurants, but this is the first two-star establishment I've encountered with such a relaxed...

Den has always been in my mind as a pioneer of hard-to-book restaurants, alongside the famous "Sanpi Ryoron" in Ebisu about ten years ago. Back then, I wasn't particularly focused on making a reservation, just thinking it would be nice to visit someday. Recently, however, I decided to seriously explore dining options and managed to visit through a cancellation slot.I have been to several Michelin-starred restaurants, but this is the first two-star establishment I've encountered with such a relaxed atmosphere. Interestingly, the entrance still displays the sign of the previous restaurant, and the only indication that it is "Den" is a small sticker on the doorknob.Upon entering, I was greeted by various decorative objects and numerous handwritten signs adorning the walls. It felt like a whimsical secret hideaway. Yet, strangely enough, it maintained an air of elegance, as if every object belonged exactly where it was placed.The meal began with a monaka (wafer) packaged with Den's sticker, filled with foie gras, berry jam, and crunchy takuan (pickled daikon). This dish encapsulated what Den is all about—an innovative blend of Japanese and Western flavors, playfulness, and meticulousness.Next was chawanmushi (savory egg custard), which contained yuba (tofu skin) and béchamel sauce, topped with a sweet soy sauce reminiscent of mitarashi. It had a rich flavor, offering a unique originality unlike any chawanmushi I had tasted before.The third dish was "Dentucky," a playful take on KFC, presented in a package labeled "DFC". Inside were crispy fried chicken wings filled with chewy glutinous rice and tender edamame. This dish was impressively crafted. Interestingly, I heard that an actual KFC employee visited and enjoyed it, so it might even be unofficially endorsed!This Dentucky serves the role of "oshinogi" in Japanese cuisine, a small dish to stave off hunger. It was presented as if the chef hurriedly prepared it to satisfy the guests' appetites. The back of the box featured a list of the chef's favorite restaurants, a charming touch.Following this were sashimi of kinmedai (red snapper) and fried fish called sugi, along with a salad. This salad was inspired by the Japanese dish of nimono (simmered vegetables), where each vegetable was separately prepared and served. Each leaf had a distinct flavor, making it completely different from a typical salad. Yet, it wasn't quite nimono either. I found this salad to be the most memorable dish. Although it was a Western-style salad, the seasoning brought out the essence of Japanese flavors, showcasing the ingredients' natural umami. It was truly impressive.Afterward, we enjoyed a simmered dish, clay pot rice, miso soup, and dessert to conclude the meal. Each dish had a robust flavor, enhancing the umami elements of Japanese cuisine.Overall, Den is casual, humorous, and innovative, yet firmly rooted in the essence of Japanese cuisine. The service was excellent, creating a friendly atmosphere without any pressure or tension for the guests. It was clear why it attracts many international visitors and has earned two Michelin stars. I sensed that the chef still has many creative ideas and adventurous spirits hidden away, and I feel like I've only scratched the surface. I definitely want to return! Less

It stands as a representative establishment of creative Japanese cuisine. The playful presentation of dishes and the humor infused in the plating showcase the restaurant's unique charm, alongside a sincere commitment to seasonal ingredients and daily sourcing. Each season, familiar signature dishes make an appearance, adding to the allure of the dining experience. Every visit brings the joy of overlapping memories with the present. The pairings that accompany the dishes are also highly refined, enhancing the flavors in a multidimensional way. On this occasion, the course featured an abundance of wild vegetables, fitting for the season. A standout dish was the grilled trout with a smoky aroma, topped generously with deep-fried koshiabura (Japanese wild vegetables). The umami of the trout, combined with the texture, fragrance, and bitterness of the koshiabura, created a harmonious accent that encapsulated the essence of spring. To finish, the dish of seasoned rice with shirasu (whitebait) and sansho (Japanese pepper) brought forth the seasonal flavors of both the sea and mountains, concluding the meal on a delightful note. "Den," with its blend of playfulness and meticulousness, continues to evolve, offering a sense of "newness" with each visit and awakening memories with the changing seasons. Less
This restaurant offers delicious dishes and a heartfelt spirit of "omotenashi" (hospitality) that truly shines.This time's menu includes:- Den's Signature Foie Gras Monaka- Tempura of Koshiabura and Tara no Me- Asparagus Violette- Trout with Fried Mountain Vegetables- Beef and Mountain Vegetables in Sauce- Den-tucky, likely with Fuki Miso and Sansho (inspired by Kentucky Fried Chicken)- Firefly Squid in Soy Sauce- Firefly Squid and Flower Pepper Rice

They had a concentrated daikon aroma and spiciness that was interesting.All the separately seasoned vegetables were truly delicious, especially the potatoes, which were extraordinarily sweet.But my favorite was definitely the yellow beets at the bottom!◯ Beef Strip Loin and Wild VegetablesDelicious broth, wild vegetables, and sweetly cooked strip loin.It was absolutely the best...◯ Clay Pot Rice with Shirasu and Flower SanshoI had been wanting to try rice with flower sansho, so I was thrilled!!The gentle balance that only flower sansho can provide, which you can't get with shirasu or regular sansho, was a victory!!Of course, I had three bowls! And three bowls of red miso soup too!The red miso soup was fantastic, changing from funori to green onion tofu to wild garlic!◯ Dessert - Kumamoto Watermelon and Strawberry KakigoriThe rum jelly paired wonderfully with the purple shiso, which was quite a surprise.This combination is amazing!It was incredibly delicious!!◯ Futaba-chan's Banana CakeA heavy, buttery banana cake!The aroma of cinnamon and banana made for a wonderful finish!Honestly, every time I come here, it’s incredible.It’s truly one of a kind!It was a great meal!

A conversation with Zaiyu san a night before gave me some light bulb moments💡 . I asked a simple question about whether he has changed his sequence of the courses which appeared different from before. He gave me such a great answer. He said it is determined by the ingredients and the flow of the customers, so every time it is different. There are a lot of regulars but also new customers at Den, they can be of different ages, some drink and some don’t. It has been 16 years since Den opened, and it is important to 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠.
And suddenly I have this revelation. Not only do they change ingredients by seasonality and by day, they change the food based on each individual. You may see different dishes for each guest on the same day, come at different timing and sequence.
That must be crazy hectic for a kitchen. Even if you want to embrace this practice, you need to have the knowledge of ingredients, the skills to improvise and execute , the organization inside the kitchen and with FOH, but Den nails it.
This was my 35th times to Den, despite coming less frequently than before, every time it was a blast. Because they keep changing, I always felt so excited and never bored. The miso marinated Foie Gras Monaka was still a hit, this time with Satsumaimo 🍠 and iburigakko (smoked pickled radish); the fragrant fresh 🥜 tofu, smokey 🍆 with uni & ikura, tDFC 🐔with fermented 🌶, aged 松鯛 🐟with nori sauce, the kinmedai owan with wintermelon and awesome dashi. Zaiyu San’s beef is still so incredibly delicious, misuji (oyster blade) marinated in dashi for a week, served with 鶴紫tsurumurasaki and rocket piment.
The rice with 8 kinds of 🍄 from Mt Fuji was out of the world! These mushrooms were confit in soy bean oil then butter sautéed at the end before added to the dashi cooked rice. Sooooooooooo good. Our dessert came with an adorable “My Heart” grape in the shape of 💜. So cute. My meal was so spectacular and I learnt so many new things.
Only your family will put all these efforts to make everything the best for you. That’s why eating at Den always feel like home. What Den is doing for their customers is truly the ultimate form of hospitality. Less

Den is always great to go to. The food is funny, delicious and well executed. The “easy to draw man” salad is one of the best you can get with its different textures and tastes created by treating each ingredient different. The DKF with a seasonal filling is succulent and delicious.

Back for the second time in almost as many weeks. The hospitality and great food merits frequent visits. This time, being the world champion of omotenashi, the Japanese are of hospitality, they cooked me the hana-sansho rice in a donabe, one of my favourite variations and only when in season. To top it up they produced another rice with sautéed mushrooms.
Back at Den for the spring menu. Some classics like the fried chicken and some new dishes like the veal cheek with Japanese truffles. The latter being the star of the menu. The rice in two versions, firefly squid and mountain vegetables.
den is famous for its omotenashi which is truly unparalleled but I like it for its food. It is modern but respects the rules, it is tasty and very well executed. It tries to surprise but always does.
(SWIPE FOR MORE PICS) All the happy moments during the collaboration lunch of @ristorantelido84 x Den @zaiyuhasegawa . Food was so great, in fact, exceeding all my expectation.

The rest of the dishes in this collaboration was nothing short of spectacular. In particular two dishes I have already put it into my short list of #littlemeg_best2020 ! First was the cuttlefish dish you saw in the video. As @paolo_vizzari explained to explain to me, the cuttlefish was cleaned whole, applied with sugar and salt for 15 mins and then washed, dried under a fan in the fridge for 12 hours and cut into like sticky rice size. It was shaped almost like a shari, then glazed with smoked eel butter and covered with an emulsion of Jerusalem artichoke. The texture was simply mind blowing, it really reminded us of sushi rice (see cross section pic in pic 3). The emulsion too, so so delicious. Seriously next level creation!
_
The risotto and sardine dish, I had both 3 times already, and team Lido 84 managed to them even better than before. So impressed.
_
The dessert also goes straight into my best 2020 dessert short list. Zaiyu san gave some of the Japanese chestnut paste leftover from making “栗きんとん kuri kinton” (common dessert for new year) for osechi, and they made this super delicious chestnut paste dusted with matcha powder, the bottom was a sauce of caramelised milk with whisky, sooooooo delicious, like an イタリアン栗きんとん Italian Kuri Kinton. Best collaboration of east and west. Genius! Less
(SWIPE TO SEE MORE PICS) : Final Cacio e Pepe “En Vessie”. Perfectly al dente, with just the right amount of peppery pecorino sauce coating each rigatoni. So good. The recipe does not change but the texture did vary in different location. Because when something so simple with so few ingredients, every detail - water, temperature, etc counts.

Many people asked me why use the pig’s bladder to cook the pasta? The last picture is the answer #LiDen84 #Lido84xDen #littlemeg_best2019... More

The most important meal for me on New Year day today is to have Den’s osechi! This has been my tradition now ever since I had my first osechi by Team Den. The contents are about the same as these items have specific symbolic meanings so they are not supposed to be omitted or changed drastically. You can see the item list in the last pic and most of the explanations are in my old posts (#littlemeg_osechi2018 , #littlemeg_osechi2019 ) This year a new item to replace the pork... More

You can see the item list in the last pic and most of the explanations are in my old posts (#littlemeg_osechi2018 , #littlemeg_osechi2019 ) This year a new item to replace the pork was the cooked beef cheek. All the tendons, sweet and savory sauce, so delicious.

Osechi is a very important food item in Japan during new year, and it can get very expensive. You can see some in basement supermarket at department stores that cost 35000 -50000 yen even they are not from any famous restaurants. In Tokyo and Kyoto, some premium restaurants can charge up to 200K yen for an osechi 😱 .
_
Zaiyu san always keeps their osechi very reasonably priced around 36000 (only increased by very little, relative to the surge in ingredient cost in Japan) without compromising on quality. It is his same philosophy for his restaurant. He only adjusted the price very little over years, because he wanted it to be affordable for more people who want to come to Den. Danny of Chairman also has the same belief, and why Chairman is still not crazily expensive despite using the highest quality ingredients and located at central with outrageous rent.
_
I remember Chef Riccardo @ristorantelido84 of Lido 84 who is Zaiyu san’s good friend also said the same thing. His tasting menu is only 90 euros, consider the fine dining menu, service, setting and restaurant close to the river side, it is almost ridiculous and too cheap. But he said he wants more young people to be able to try his food, even for fine dining it is something attainable for them. I always have so much respect to them. Ultimately, if more people can enjoy their food and feel satisfied, they find it the best reward, much more than money. Less
Collaborative dinners and pop ups can often be a mixed bag, but I had a lot of fun at the #gelinaz shuffle this year. Coconuts and banana leaves in the communal table at @zaiyuhasegawa’s Den told us we were in for something fun. The crew did a great job of interpreting Thai flavors, but very much in the Den spirit. Turns out our mystery restaurant twin for the night was @ledubkk - which almost no one guessed.

Zaiyu Hasegawa
WB 50 Chefs’ Choice Award 2019
Zaiyu cooks a modern kaiseki meal. He follows the rules, uses great ingredients and has a flawless technique.
However then he takes the stiff- and stuffiness out of the whole experience and infuses it with unparalleled omotenashi and fun.
This creates an addictive mixture which is impossible not to fall for.
No wonder he won all of these accolades, but don't get me wrong, the food by itself is worth a visit.
Den. No need to say anything else. Just delightful from start to finish. A few dishes pictured here. And they dressed Puchi Jr. (@puchi.jr) up in the costume I brought him in January!
The whole Den family was as lovely as always, and another fantastic meal. And Puchi seems to tolerate the hat :)
My little gift for @puchi.jr - a chef’s hat and bandana with his name on it.
Team Den ??????? Always so happy to be back at Den! ? They will always take great care of you like family. Can’t wait to return next month! ?
