Tokyo’s sophisticated kappo dining experience
VERIFIED LUXURY

The Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star The Okura Tokyo restaurant specializes in classical Japanese fare—sushi, tempura and the sought-after kappo cuisine.

Yamazato is renowned for its traditional Japanese hospitality and beautiful food presentation. Obliging kimono-clad staff will serve each course in stunning hand-painted plates and bowls. Equally as beautiful are bird's-eye views from your seat of the hotel’s Japanese-style garden. Yamazato also has several private rooms, including one for Japanese tea ceremonies.

Our Inspector's Highlights

  • Kappo cuisine is a more casual style of Japanese fine dining that happens at a chef’s counter. This exceptional dining concept consists of a multi-course meal that’s structured entirely at the chef’s discretion, based on the best ingredients available.
  • Grand chef Akihiro Omori leads the team at Yamazato. Omori, who’s worked for Okura hotels since 1989, is a master of Japanese haute cuisine who’s known for his attention to detail.
  • Food allergies and special diets are catered to at Yamazato, which is a consideration not always available in Tokyo. Contact the restaurant in advance and it will do its best to appease your needs.
  • The seasonal menu is an à la carte one with courses available for lunch and dinner. The extensive menu includes a wagyu beef shabu-shabu (hotpot), a light sushi set and more.
  • You can partake in various Japanese cuisines at the Tokyo restaurant. Enjoy kappo, sushi, tempura and fine-dining dishes. 

The Design

  • In the style of a Japanese inn, Yamazato’s design is minimalist, neutral and refined. The space is crafted of Japanese wood, with tables separated by wooden screens. Glass walls offer a garden view for light and added vibrancy.
  • The tea ceremony room was constructed by master carpenter Sotoji Nakamura, famous for constructing tea houses around the world in the authentic Kyoto style. The tearoom contains scrolls, a tatami floor and shoji screens.
  • No Japanese restaurant worth its weight in udon noodle soup would be complete without private rooms. Once you reserve a spot, choose from low chairs on the tatami floor mats or Western-style furnishings.
