Edition Koji Shimomura

Our second visit after many years! The food and wine are both exceptional. Each dish owns a great and delicate taste that mix Japanese and French well. We will come back for sure!

Nice Two Star restaurant ... Sticking out positively: The wagyu was really excellent !! The broad wine selection as well - at comparatively fair prices. Staff was trying hard. Thank you 🙏.
The chef we did not see.
But why does the restaurant offer actively extra portion of truffles for 2.000 JPY ? We tought it was a bit cheesy when you have a total bill of almost 300.000 JPY (4 pax - including mentioned top wines).

Food was amazing, all staffs were very friendly and kind. Spent a very special moment there. Thank you!

Got the vegetarian course. Food was okay, nothing spectacular or extra tasty. Ambiance yes claustrophobic. Restaurant is hard to find. Bread was bad. Service made comments which I found to be in bad taste; service also felt too attentive and lacked privacy. Didn’t feel accepted or comfortable when making reservation. The two best items were the single amuse bouche pani puri and the mignardises chocolate covered pecans. Not worth 88k yen for two courses, 6 drink orders, and a chocolate cake. By the way the cake was super dry 😔

We wanted to experience Michelin star at Tokyo, and we are vegetarians so we picked Edition Koji Shimomura. It was a delightful experience. Chef Koji personally accommodated us for a table at the last minute & created this 8 course vegetarian meal. It’s steeply priced but it’s an experience worth trying!

We had a fantastic 9 course vegan tasting menu here! While in Tokyo, we were really keen on visiting a Michelin starred restaurant, but being vegan can make that difficult - especially in Japan. But it was no problem here! We just requested the vegan menu when making reservations online and Chef made us delicious, artful dishes. It was a lovely afternoon and we went about 2 hours enjoying everything.

The only thing I didn't really love was the ambiance, it had a very stereotypical "fancy restaurant" vibe and I felt like we were being watched by the staff the whole time. But that wasn't enough to take away from our enjoyment and we would recommend -- especially for vegan fine dineing!

The chef takes risks with heavy flavoring and multiple dissonant ingredients leading to some notable hits (a duck with shaved truffle and an assortment of Asian vegetables) and misses in an opinionated set course. Wine pairing is US centric and more than a tad Whole Foods-ish.
