One of the best dining experiences imho. Staff are well trained and Chef himself is on hand to ensure the quality and experience. It's a go to place for me.

Reserved this restaurant several months prior to our Japan trip, and the anticipation was absolutely justified. The entire dining experience was meticulously crafted, though it was a tad disappointing not to sample the ash and forest floor dish on this occasion. Nevertheless, we delighted in the Bread of the Forest paired with homemade butter, which proved to be exceptional.

In my opinion, the Kobe beef might be more enjoyable when pan-fried or grilled without any sauce. However, every dish was impeccably presented, and the flavors of each component harmonized seamlessly. Eagerly anticipating the opportunity to explore a different menu on our next visit!

A michelin starred restaurant that pioneered the Japanese farm to table movement. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming, this despite my being underdressed following a day of sight seeing. I had the tasting menu with 8 savory and 2 dessert courses. Each dish was cleverly presented and flavorful. The signature bread is baked in a hot stone bowl at the tableside with butter the appearance of moss. It was as good as promised. My favorite courses were shrimp with salmon roe and noodles and the melon dessert. The tea pairing was quite nice.
Everything was good quality though, at 2 hours, the service felt rushed. My meal came to $360. Ok for a special occassion but 3 times the price of the michelin starred restaurant I visited last week - Kabi - which was just as good.

Amazing food! Perfection in the plate. The tea pairing was perfect.

The food quality and service was excellent. Especially the bread baked at the table! This is to be expected of a michellin star. We had the tasting menu which was well crafted. More transparency on the wine cost per glass would have been helpful - tip to those going: bottles of the house wine are much better value.

The food takes you on a journey that is the reason it makes this place so special. Every dish is better than the last, the service was incredible and the chef made it a priority to visit each table. Having been in Japan for two weeks, this might be the meal I never forget.

This Japanese restaurant provides an exclusive fine dining experience with its modern, innovative take on local cuisine. I tried their tasting menu and it was refined, with good ingredients but most importantly, everything were beautifully plated.

The Narisawa team was extremely knowledgeable and tentative, they provided guests with the best professional services.

Where can I even begin just WOW. We just finished a Michelin tour in Japan and this was by far the best restaurant we went to. The chef is beyond innovative with flavors, ideas, and concepts that will blow you away. The service is impeccable. They accommodated every request so graciously that we were moved by the end of the meal. This was more than a meal but an experience that you will not get elsewhere. Do yourself a favor and book- this will be a special and memorable occasion. Thank you chef narisawa and Leo. We will remember you as a highlight of our beautiful time in Japan.

We visited Narisawa when they did their pop up in Singapore, with Mandala Club. It was an extremely unique experience, especially when you see the same sake bottles, and special ingredients, that's uniquely kept for Narisawa in Japan, show up in another country.

Throughout the entire night, we were extremely well taken care of by Chef Narisawa, GM Leo (son of chef), and their entire team. Super patient, extremely friendly staff.

The experiential journey that the Narisawa team put us through, on both the food, but also the drinks experience, was quite out of this world. Simple ingredients, drawing out the fine quality of the crops and the proteins. What's unique are the items that are sourced specially just for Narisawa.

Outside of Japan, they're one of the holders of the Dom Perignon collaborations, beyond the few other sake houses that create flavors and special bottling, just for chef. All the access to these special experiences, is what you end up paying for - the top notch divine dining experience as part of being the top 50 restaurants globally.

Second visit after 10 years. As amazing as the first time. Spectacular ingredients! A truly memorable experience !

NARISAWA is one of the best tasting menus I’ve EVER had.

The food is exceptional and memorable - having both classic flavors as well as some unique touches that all work incredibly well together. The sake/wine pairing was outstanding with some exclusive selections.

We went to many fine-dining establishments during our 3 weeks in Japan and NARISAWA will be one we recommend highly to any foodie. I can’t wait to come back next time we’re in Tokyo!

Went in 2016, it was an incredible experience, amazing food and the sake pairing..... it was so good we still talk about it. I see people complaining about the wine pairing, if you are in Japan, what are you doing drinking wine? Would you ask for sake in Paris? Then….. came back in 2023, the menu has cleared change, it’s french\ Japanese fusión now, not as good as before, maybe it works better for the locals, the food was ok, but not remarkable for the $500 Christmas’s menu. I still give it 5 stars but I’m not inclined to come back.
