Akasaka Ogino Tokyo

Tabelog 4.35 🥈
⁡
Akasaka Ogino is currently one of the most difficult to book kaiseki restaurants in Tokyo. A lot of restaurants reserved seats for regular customers but this 7-seat restaurant is genuinely fully booked till 2026.

The omakase started off with a beautifully plated uni and kegani on a giant lotus leaf. It was followed by multiple hot dishes, including the perfectly executed grilled unagi which was crunchy, juicy and flavor packed. Hassun is always my least favorite course in a kaiseki meal but Ogino San managed to turn the small dishes unique and delicious! Needless to say, the hassun platter was stunning!

I also rejoiced the tsubugai and its liver sauce that was mixed with freshly made goma paste, bringing a unique bittersweet aftertaste to the sweet and oceanic tsubugai. The showstopper was definitely the grilled mushroom and masu donabemeshi which was packed with charcoal aroma and umami ikura jus. I added 3 bowls during the build-your-own-gohan session with the delicious condiments curated by Ogino San.

Outstanding food, service, aesthetics and cospa – this is probably my favorite modern kaiseki in Japan right now!

Satoshi Ogino's Omakase course allows customers to experience "noble Japanese cuisine that respects tradition". He puts a lot of effort into the "Hassun” (small dishes served in traditional Japanese cuisine) to give customers a true sense of the season and buys ingredients from "Higuchi Farm" and seafood from a trusted network throughout the country. The menu includes cherry blossom sea bream sashimi, boiled conger eel and sushi with seasonal vegetables, female snow crab’s inner and outer roe, and more. Sommeliers serve premium sake and other drinks to match the cuisine.

이 곳의 셰프 오기노 사토시씨는 “전통이 잘 담긴 일식 정통” 오마카세 코스를 손님들께 제공합니다.
코스 중에서도 “핫슨(여러 가지 음식을 큰 그릇에 함께 담아 내놓는 것)”에는 손님에게 계절감 가득한 느낌을 주기위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있으며 식재료는 “히구치 농장”에서, 해산물은 일본내의 신뢰할만한 거래처에서 구입하고 있습니다. 메뉴에는 벚꽃 도미회(사쿠라다이), 붕장어 조림과 제철 채소를 곁들은 초밥, 암컷 대게 알 등이 있습니다.
소믈리에가 요리에 어울리는 고급 사케와 기타 음료도 추천드리니 잊지마시기 바랍니다!

🇯🇵
another one of the most remarkable meals i’ve had this trip. helmed by a warm chef with a extremely bubbly team, this kaiseki has gained a lot of popularity and attention, deservingly so.
so grateful to be invited by another fairy god-mother to try their winter matsuba-kani course right before christmas. their ‘signature’ chutoro with an eggyolk sauce and gorgeous knife-work in the ika marks an incredible start to the meal. the first kani dish of the night was a form of a meatball in dashi wanmono, so concentrated in sweetness of crab and one of my favourites of the night. followed by simply grilled kani legs, a mix of kani and kani miso with a side of shari with karasumi, before the kani gohan. other plates in between of course featured his gorgeous hassun, with a theatrical lights off moment, it was truly a feast for the eye and stomach, featuring freshly fried and piping hot sweet potato tempura, ankimo, shirasu and some vegetable dishes. his freshly grilled unagi was also remarkable, super plump and meaty, before the final round of shiro gohan is served with ample compliments to your liking which i got everything - karasumi, ikura, egg yolk, akami zuke, jako, burdock. given his newly established sweets shop, his desserts were no less spectacular, featuring a persimmon panna cotta and a red bean and pear daifuku. thank you for the gorgeous meal, would love to come back and experience another season here.
side note: his dorayaki from his sweets shop are so so good, highly recommend the mascarpone one, fresh cream and azuki was also very very nice.
