Narikoutei

Tucked naturally into the historic, old-town streets of Nezu, Narikoutei welcomes diners into a serene Japanese interior. Stepping through the noren curtain as evening begins feels like an immediate retreat from the bustle outside.

Once seated, guests are treated to a sequence of carefully prepared dishes. Sampling visually appealing presentations alongside a variety of small plates, paired with drinks like beer, makes for an unhurried, satisfying dinner. Portions and course variety are generous, and the meal can be finished on a gentle note with dessert.

The dining room features a tatami seating area at the back where guests can stretch their legs, alongside seated table options that comfortably accommodate all generations. For family gatherings, post-memorial meals, or an evening out catching up with close friends, reserving ahead is recommended when planning a visit with a larger party.
