French Restaurant AZUR et MASA UEKI (AZUR et MASA UEKI) Tokyo

I finally visited a restaurant I had been curious about. The innovative dishes were outstanding. You can really feel the chef's dedication. Each dish was unique, vibrant, and elegantly flavored. It was so delicious that I felt it was a shame to finish each one. The consomme soup was incredibly rich—truly the best consomme I’ve ever had in my life. Since I’m not a fan of seafood, I requested a menu change and enjoyed venison with risotto. I was amazed at how delicious venison could be! Every meal was truly wonderful, and the clientele was mostly Japanese, with staff who were clearly well-trained. This place is perfect for special occasions. It was a dinner filled with happiness. Thank you! Less

The red sea bream paired with the Americain sauce and risotto was also impressive, with the rich flavor of the sauce lingering until the end. The dessert came with a charming chocolate bee, making this course a delightful experience for all the senses.The birthday plate was adorable, and the sommelier's service was attentive and warm, making it a perfect place for a celebratory occasion.

◆Atmosphere This hidden gem of a restaurant is located just off the main street, featuring a pleasantly dim and calming ambiance. The staff provided attentive and friendly service throughout our visit. ◆Cuisine - The fish dishes, especially the Spanish mackerel, were excellent, and the extra-large asparagus was tender with the perfect amount of seasoning—truly impressive! - I had two pieces of lamb, which were satisfying. The sauce had a flavor reminiscent of beef stew. The zucchini flowers topped with cheese had a curry flavor. While the main dishes were delicious, it was the desserts and petit fours that truly stood out with their high quality. - The dessert was visually stunning—100 points for presentation! The honey and honeycomb were stylish, and the orange in the center paired beautifully with the chocolate and surrounding ice cream. Each of the petit fours was also delicious in its own right. This was a wonderful restaurant that I definitely want to visit again. Less

Located just a short distance from the Nishiazabu intersection, this restaurant is tucked away on a back road leading to the Nezu Museum. I had visited this place when it was a different restaurant many years ago, and since it’s a route I often take, I’ve been curious about the changes. Today, I finally had the chance to stop by.Despite its discreet location, the interior is spacious and luxurious.I enjoyed a glass of rosé champagne associated with Brad Pitt. It was a delightful rosé, truly enjoyable. For red wine, I had a glass of Pruere-Lock's Nuits-Saint-Georges / Clos de Corbeau, which felt quite indulgent for a glass. It had been opened for a little while, and that added to its wonderful flavor, leaving me very satisfied.The dish featuring Wagyu beef, black truffle, and foie gras was delicious. It had that classic taste that you expect from such a combination. The salmon was prepared so tenderly that it almost didn’t feel like fish, and when paired with the sauce, it created an unexpectedly delightful flavor.Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed a scent reminiscent of home, which might need some improvement (though I quickly got used to it once inside).
