Ishikawa is the anchor of Kagurazaka's reputation as Tokyo's most refined dining neighborhood, serving exquisite kaiseki in a beautifully restored machiya townhouse. Chef Hideki Ishikawa's seasonal menus are a masterclass in restraint and ingredient reverence. Three Michelin stars for over a decade; reservations are difficult but manageable through the restaurant's website or a hotel concierge.
