Such a refreshing meal at Myoujyaku 明寂 with early summer ingredients. Suppon and goma tofu was an interesting combination, both chi ayu and komochi ika were fried to perfection. •

Nestled in Nishiazabu, Myoujyaku is a hidden gem for Japanese Kaiseki enthusiasts seeking a unique and innovative dining experience. Chef Hidetoshi Nakamura's creations are not for the faint of heart, showcasing a remarkable level of subtlety and minimal seasoning that truly highlights the essence of each ingredient.

During my visit, I embarked on a culinary adventure that delighted my taste buds and challenged my palate. One standout dish was the sashimi course featuring akou, skillfully complemented with a salt mixed with fish powder made from dried fish. This unexpected combination brought forth a burst of flavors that danced on my tongue.

In the midst of summer, when ayu can sometimes become mundane, Chef Nakamura presented it in a truly remarkable way. The ayu was elegantly wrapped in a crepe made from a special egg, with a yolk so pale it resembled an egg white crepe. This clever twist infused new life into the familiar dish, elevating it to an extraordinary level.

Another memorable creation was the Komochi yari ika and baby corn, coated with a crushed rice cracker infused with squid ink before being expertly deep-fried. The result was a delightful combination of textures and flavors that captivated my senses.

To conclude the meal, I was treated to a first dessert of Hassaku with white Anko. This exquisite creation boasted a remarkable balance of high acidity and low sweetness, resulting in a refreshing and invigorating finale to the culinary journey.

Both courses I experienced were a testament to Chef Nakamura's culinary prowess. The dishes showcased a harmonious blend of flavors, surprising twists, and a complexity that left me in awe. It was evident that meticulous thought and creativity went into every detail of the meal.

With its warm and serene ambiance, Myoujyaku provided the perfect backdrop for this extraordinary dining experience. The attentive and knowledgeable staff further enhanced the overall enjoyment, ensuring that every aspect of the meal was a delight.

For those seeking an exceptional dining adventure, Myoujyaku is a destination worth exploring. Chef Nakamura's innovative and original approach to Japanese cuisine will leave you with lasting memories of superbly crafted dishes that challenge and delight the senses. Prepare to embark on a gastronomic journey unlike any other. Less

Haven’t posted yet about one of the most stunning meals of my previous Japan trip: 明寂 (Myoujyaku), a minimalist-perfectionist-purist kaiseki with utmost focus on ingredients, execution and plating. Photo #1 is a perfect example: it’s daikon (radish) boiled in salt water. 寂=beauty in the true nature of things. Chef Nakamura used 3 different waters from different regions and a pinch of carefully selected salt. A stellar meal.

So glad that I discovered 明寂 @myoujyaku when they just opened last year and pleased to see them getting 2 Michelin stars so quickly and never stopped improving. •

Newly minted 2 star Kaiseki restaurant from the Sazenka group.
Chef Nakamura serves food which respects the traditions while adding a modern twist to it. It somewhat reminds in the flavor profil to Maeda in Kyoto.
He strives for the utmost purity. For example the onion served at the beginning of the menu was just cooked in special water from Kyotango with a pinch of salt. So naturally the umami of the soup was less than normal but the pure taste made more than up for this.
He adds to the sashimi course a little bit of powder, made from salt and the head of the Tai. A wonderful addition to the fish.
The most surprising dish and clearly the star of the evening was a grilled honmorko in an egg taco.
The fish from Lake Biwa is separated, the flesh grilled and served on silky bed of special egg. The chicken eat a lot of rice, so the yolk is not so deep yellow as it normally is in Japan. You roll up the egg around the fish parts and eat it with your hands. An unbelievable experience of texture, umami and flavor.
All in, a great, wonderful new restaurant (since April 2022), which won two stars in record breaking speed. Well deserved. Less

Myoujyaku 明寂 in November. Just love this place, and it got even better as we enter winter season. Congrats on getting 2 Michelin stars in the first year! •

Myoujyaku 明寂 1st visit — I was very impressed by this new kaiseki place (Sazenka group) understated decoration, simple and elegant presentation, balanced and profound flavors. Loved the suppon chawanmushi and the torigai nabe. The housho maki at the end was one of the best Japanese desserts I’ve had in a while. •
