Seisoka

Helmed by Chef Nozomu Yamai, Seisoka is Tokyo’s two-Michelin-star culinary gem. With the philosophy of showcasing Japan’s delectable seasonal offerings, the restaurant presents a mélange of both traditional and modern dishes. Following Kaiseki tradition, the changing seasons allow for the inclusion of seasonal ingredients to the preparations, which add to the charm and authenticity of the cuisine.

Additionally, the careful attention to detail, which includes attaining the perfect temperature and texture with respect to the season, elevates each dish to culinary art.

A veritable closet of a restaurant, only 8 guests per night are privy to the prix fixe menu at this intimate and acclaimed restaurant.

Authentic

Initially an apprentice at one of Tokyo's more upscale eateries, now chef Takeshi Soto puts his culinary energy and mastery into Authentic, which specializes in gourmet burgers. The jewel in their crown is their innovative Authentic burger. Not for the faint at heart, it offers three beef patties layered with chili, eggs, cheese and bacon, all on a crispy, homemade bun. Want fries with that? They'll make them fresh while you wait, no heat-lamp specials here! Their bacon burger and broccoli cheeseburgers are equally tasty, and so are their sandwiches. Lunchtime gets crowded, so either be patient or come back later.

Quartet Bldg 1F, 2-15-12 Nishi-Abazu, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan, 106-0031

Tokyo likes to challenge as many of your senses as possible so instead of asking 'Why would you have a book lounge and curry restaurant together?', the real question is 'Why not?'. These serves a good Japanese-style curry which is perfect sustenance as you peruse their book selection. The lounge is beautifully lit and furnished with mahogany panels and furniture. It's a lovely quiet place, an oasis to escape to for a quirky lunch in one of those places you can only find in Tokyo.

Ikkoan

5-3-15 Koishikawa, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan, 112-0002

Ikkoan isn't in the thick of things, as far as Tokyo's hot spots go, but it remains extremely popular - people are more than happy to go out of the way to get some of Ikkoan's exquisite confections. The sweets differ with the seasons - in fall, try the red bean and chestnut cake. Their mochi (sticky rice cake) is superb and has just the right amount of sweetness. Ikkoan and its seasonal sweets are definitely worth seeking out.
