Restaurant Experience
Itahara, a haven for innovative cuisine, brings together a French-trained chef and a sushi chef from Ginza Kyubei. Their collaboration results in a gastronomic adventure, crafted uniquely with spices and herbs, offering an array of unparalleled culinary experiences.
The restaurant's grand theme revolves around savoring the essence of "Japan" as a whole. Regardless of the origin, ingredients are meticulously sourced from all across Japan to create a remarkable tapestry of flavors.
The Chef's Specialty Course allows you to enjoy a leisurely two-hour feast before moving upstairs for a relaxed one-hour after-time. This comprehensive three-hour course includes indulging in cheeses, desserts, and post-meal drinks, sparing you the need to seek a second venue - truly a luxury in time management.
Restaurant Details
Step into Itahara, tucked away in the picturesque stone-paved streets of Kagurazaka, often dubbed "Little Kyoto" for its traditional charm.
Here, at the exclusive counter seating, you can relish the pleasure of feasting with your eyes - taking in the artful presentation, the enticing sear of grilled dishes, and the tantalizing fragrance of smoked creations. Immerse yourself in this unique and captivating sensory experience.
The restaurant also offers private reservations for groups of six or more, allowing you to indulge in a personalized and intimate dining ambience.
In the pursuit of an extraordinary dining experience, Itahara emphasizes two vital aspects: dwell time and guest count. The first floor accommodates only seven seats at the counter, where the chef prepares and serves each dish, ensuring that the dining experience is seamless and punctual. The restaurant intentionally limits the number of seats to optimize prompt service.
Dress code:
Itahara upholds a smart casual dress code and refrains from admitting guests in shorts, sandals, or t-shirts.
Please note that all areas within the restaurant are designated as non-smoking zones. Additionally, timely attendance is crucial, as any delay beyond 30 minutes will be considered a same-day cancellation, incurring a 100% cancellation fee, with no possibility of serving the reserved course.
