The newly opened Tokyo Kaikan Shin-Honkan on January 8th has undergone a significant upgrade compared to its previous location, with a more sophisticated atmosphere in the understated setting on the lower floor. The entrance on the second floor, next to the French restaurant Prunier, features a large glass wine cellar that catches the eye immediately, and the stylish view of the moat adds a touch of glamour to the establishment. In the center of the restaurant, there is a large sunken hearth surrounded by eight seats, where a lively fire burns, creating a refined yet distinctly Japanese ambiance that is very calming. In the evening, the focus is on kaiseki cuisine or sushi, with prices that are reasonable and similar to those of the previous location. However, it doesn't have the same casual atmosphere as before, where you could enjoy a drink with a small dish on the side. (laughs)

I had tried fugu before but wanted to taste the real thing. That's why I chose Japanese Cuisine Yachiyo. It's just a few minutes' walk from Tokyo Station and offers a luxurious atmosphere. I added some momiji oroshi to the tessa to suit my partner's preference for spiciness, and we had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying the meal. I don't need to say much about the taste, it's just as shown in the photos. I plan to visit this place a few times a year, as it motivates me to work hard. Check out my blog for more details.

A restaurant where you can enjoy Edomae sushi at the counter at a leisurely pace. You can also enjoy wine pairings based on your preferences. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is nice, with a dress code that adds to the enjoyment. The sushi is made with a variety of textures, some are light and fluffy while others are more firm, providing a good balance of flavors.

I made a reservation for the weekend and visited this restaurant. The visit was for a slightly formal celebratory meal hosted by the host. They served many auspicious dishes that were beautifully presented, making the event very festive. I was surprised when the sushi was served. Before the alcohol was served, they even suggested taking commemorative photos, making the atmosphere very pleasant. Of course, the restaurant was spotless. The taste of the food was all delicious, so I highly recommend this restaurant for those considering a celebratory course. Revisit frequency: ○, Visit rating: 3.03

The sophisticated interior and high-quality atmosphere truly define this place.

The dishes are meticulously prepared showcasing the finest Japanese culinary techniques. Perfect for special occasions and important gatherings.

Tokyo Kaikan, Japanese cuisine, Yachiyo. The lunch dishes recommended by the chef were delicious. I really enjoyed it and it is definitely a place I want to visit again. The seasonal dishes were served in abundance and each dish looked beautiful and elegant. The staff, especially towards women in kimonos, provided polite and calming service. The attention to detail in the tableware, such as the toothpick holder, was impressive. The food was delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Established in 1922, Tokyo Kaikan Co., Ltd. underwent rebuilding in January 2019 and reopened. I visited the restaurant "Japanese Cuisine Yachiyo" there. The elegant and sophisticated Tokyo Kaikan has a hotel-like grandeur, with wedding venues and banquet halls. The 2nd floor houses the French restaurant Prunier on the right and the Japanese restaurant Yachiyo on the left. I am also curious about the main dining at Tokyo Kaikan, Restaurant Prunier. Lunch started with Ebisu draft beer. The chirashi sushi was beautifully presented with vinegared rice and various toppings including fatty tuna, shrimp, kelp, sea urchin, salmon roe, and more. The rice used was a variety called "Shin no Koshi" from Niigata prefecture, known for its firmness and stickiness suitable for sushi. I also ordered the Toro rolled sushi, which unfortunately had overly soft rice. The head chef, Mr. Shima, was very friendly and attentive. Japanese Cuisine Yachiyo is known for hosting business entertainment, but on this Saturday afternoon, the restaurant was quiet and enjoyable.

Foreign guests came to Japan and were entertained for lunch at a Japanese restaurant in the Tokyo Kaikan with a company executive. They ordered the "Nijubashi Zen" for 8,360 yen, which was a bit surprising in terms of price. The meal included chawanmushi, sashimi, a set meal, clear soup, dessert, and matcha. Although the sashimi did not include tuna, the ingredients in the set meal were impressive, including steamed abalone, steak, sea urchin tofu, king crab, and yuba. The clear soup even had matsutake mushrooms. The food was delicious, but whether it was worth the price is debatable. The service, however, was top-notch. The newly renovated Tokyo Kaikan was filled with elderly ladies during lunchtime, and the surrounding roads were lined with luxury cars, mainly black Lexus, Toyota, and Mercedes, with a few high-end minivans. It seems like a trend to opt for spacious minivans over sedans for convenience. It felt like a microcosm of Japan's business world, although I personally have no connection to it.

Overall, very satisfied. Elaborate presentation.

The taste is average, but the atmosphere is nice and the cost performance is good. Recommended for a date.

Is it a new Japanese restaurant at the Tokyo Kaikan? Is it a good place for entertaining guests? I had sushi at this Japanese restaurant. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Sea bream ochazuke. The simmered dish is pork kakuni.
