Akasaka Kikunoi
Japanese
Guests are greeted with "Oide-yasu," a Kyoto dialect welcome that signals exactly what this two-Michelin-star kaiseki restaurant is doing: transplanting old Kyoto into central Tokyo, intact. The seasonal menu folds in yearly observances and the occasional Western ingredient without losing its footing, and you can eat at a tatami room or a counter depending on how formal you're feeling, which is a rarer choice than it sounds.
