In addition to the standard Chinese dishes such as "Braised Shark Fin", "Fried Rice", and "Roasted Pork Fillet", you can also enjoy "Dandan Noodles in Cold Soymilk", "Rice Stew", and "Stir-fried Chicken Wings with Soft-shelled Turtle". Both alcohol and tea pairings are highly recommended.

이러한 코스들은 일본에서 나는 식재료를 사용한 중화요리로 구성되며, 중화요리의 정석이라고 할 수 있는 “샥스핀 조림”, “볶음밥”, “챠슈”는 물론 “두유를 넣어 만든 차가운 탄탄멘”, “덮밥”, “닭날개볶음과 자라요리”와 같은 특색있는 요리들도 맛보실 수 있습니다.

- Building used to be part of Germany’s embassy and feels like dining in a wealthy friend’s home in Minami Azabu (pic 1)
- A refined interpretation of Chinese food with subtle flavors. Techniques really shone through in the pheasant and chicken broths
- Beautiful ceramics projecting an understated elegance. Most plates are uniform in color but with underlying variations in form, surface or patterns (pic 2)
- Impressive how all dishes are served piping hot
- A bit of fun in the menu like almond tofu in two temperatures but overall feels too safe
Favorites
- Steamed Hokkigai (pic 3) was served piping hot! Look at all that steam coming out

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.
A truly 3 star places. Every single time

Sazenka continues to deliver Chinese Japanese food at an extraordinary level. The dishes are always perfectly calibrated, from the subtle hamaguru soup to start the meal to the peppery Szechuan chicken wings. All of them great compositions.
An extraordinary place, quite pricey but truly outstanding food.

Shanghai crab season at Sazenka, this mean super high quality, loads of it but also almost painfully expensive. Everyone gets almost 4 crabs during the course of the meal, female and male in various preparations, barely cooked to mixed with shark fin. Astounding the taste.
Of course the classics like Szechuan chicken wing and women cannot be missed. The quail as the main course was exquisite, juicy on the inside and with skin being perfectly cooked to crispy perfection. The Chef is working on his... More

Of course the classics like Szechuan chicken wing and women cannot be missed. The quail as the main course was exquisite, juicy on the inside and with skin being perfectly cooked to crispy perfection. The Chef is working on his version of the Pekin duck, I cannot wait to try it.
And before i forget, no meal at Sazenka is complete without the Mapo tofu. The best in town and by extension in the world, who knows. Less

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
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.
His tasting menu is filled with great ingredients, expertly executed with some Chinese flavor profile for reference. Despite going for the normal, cheaper menu with some added courses, this menu was full of highlights. Like the barbecued pork served on the grill. Succulent, slightly smoky and melting on the palate. Or the Chicken Wings, served hidden in a pile of chilies, filled with shark fin, exquisite. However the simple rice with mapo tofu was the star of the evening. “Mapo tofu (Chinese: 麻婆豆腐) is a popular Chinese dish from Sichuan province.It consists of tofu set in a spicy sauce, typically a thin, oily, and bright red suspension, based on douban (fermented broad bean and chilli paste) and douchi (fermented black beans), along with minced meat, traditionally beef.” (Definition from Wikipedia).
It was so good, we had to order seconds and a portion to bring home.
Overall a fantastic meal, very enjoyable which was expertly complimented by the deep wine list.
