Kyubei Restaurant

After coming to Kyubei you will immediately realize that you are in a special place. The elegant interior features modern Italian elite furniture. Pay attention also to an overflowing vase of flowers on the dampened slate floor in the corner. The counter is a single magnificent piece of hinoki Japanese cypress.

Everything is done for you, either by your chef or the discreetly hovering maiden in kimono who will not let anyone pour their own sake or shoyu or any other sauce. Another special fact about Kyubei is that there is no raised barrier between you and your chef, so you can always see what he is doing with his knives. You are able to witness how two kinds of anago eel, for variety, enlivened with just a hint of yuzu zest are preparing or get the baby scallops touched with lime. Such famous recipes as uni on rice wrapped with nori were first conceived at Kyubei. Another beautiful thing is that Kyubei is not a neighborhood place like most sushiya. The Kyubei Restaurant is located right in Tokyo.
