If there's one drink that goes wonderfully with French food, it's wine. This is a terrific restaurant which serves a variation of French and Japanese dishes with a selection of wines from various countries. Try their foie gras don, which consists of foie gras served over rice and sprinkled with green onions and ginger - it's a real knockout. Completing the experience is the elegant atmosphere and decor, which is distinctly French in flavor.

Muroi is notoriously difficult to get a table at; it doesn't help that it was awarded a Michelin star in 2008 and 2009. Muroi was rewarded for its experimental vegetarian cooking and its creative use of locally gathered organic products. Most famously, the chef, Mr. Muroi, goes weekly to a plateau at the foot of Mt. Fuji and gathers many varieties of wild mushrooms. The sansai - mountain vegetable - menu is guaranteed to challenge your tastebuds. Book well in advance.
