Azabu Ichigo

Other than shabu shabu, hot pots aren't the first thing that people tend to associate with Japanese cuisine. A visit to Azabu Ichigo should cure you of any doubts; their oden is carefully prepared using eight different flavored broths and the freshest ingredients. Many Japanese people eat steaming bowls of oden from street-carts but Azabu Ichigo takes a modest concept and elevates it. The dark wood of the interior and the cozy counter space gives the restaurant a feeling of calm in the midst of a busy shopping area. The only Michelin starred oden restaurant in Tokyo, Azabu Ichigo is not to be missed.
