The number two spot goes to Tenzushi Kyomachi-ten in Fukuoka, which features Kyushu mae-style sushi, while Ogata, the groundbreaking kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto is newly at the third best restaurantin Japan.
Following several years where Japanese restaurants dominated the OAD Top 100+ Asian Restaurants List, founder Steve Plotnicki has decided that the time has come to make space to more broadly showcase the talent and calibre of restaurants to be discovered in Japan. 2019 marks the launch of the OAD’s newly dedicated Top 100+ Japanese Restaurants List.
Of this decision, Steve comments:”Given the intense interest in the Japanese scene, I thought it made sense to give our readers as much information about the restaurants in the country as possible.” Other restaurants in the OAD Top 100+ Japanese Restaurants List top ten include Hiarsansou in Kyoto, Tokyo’s Matsukawa and Yoroniku, and the innovative Den, also in Tokyo.
The top ten restaurants in Japan from OAD:
- Sushi Saito (sushi)
- Tenzushi Kyomachi-ten (sushi)
- Ogata (kaiseki)
