Same menu with different people. Still as good as ever. Arguably the best Shanghai crab in town.

Sazenka remains the benchmark for Chinese Japanese food in Tokyo. The precision of the cooking is unparalleled. Their Shanghai crab are better and tastier than is other places. The mapo tofu is so delicious that you want to bring some home.

Any food in Japan which is labeled ethnically is far from what you get locally. The strong influence of Japan always overpowers everything. So it is with this newly minted three star restaurant which is labeled ‘Chinese”.
Chef Tomoya Kawata started his cooking career at 16 at a Chinese restaurant in Tokyo, but then spent long years studying Japanese cooking at Nihonryori Ryugi.
Thus all my Chinese friends would start laughing about the “Chinese” label, but they all would love his food.... More
