We came here to celebrate my birthday and ordered the Seasonal Omakase course with Mastuba crab.

The first dish was a nice moment noodles dish with dried bits of seafood. The balance of flavor was excellent, neither ingredient overpowering the other.

The second dish was a mix of squid, bonito flakes, damage, and a delightful tofu that was served on top of a seafood flavor paste. Again, the tastes complimented each other, and nothing stood out/ overpowered the other.

The next dish was a dish with a variety of tempura; lotus root, esei ebi (almost like a lobster), and small vegetable which name eludes. The tempura was very light and crispy, the flavors of the items were fresh, and the tempura coating cave them each a great texture.

The next dish was the crab head, which had its innards boiled in sake and served as a soup. The overall taste was ok, but the sake really overpowered the flavor of the crab. If I had to choose a dish that was the worst, this would be it.

The next dish(es) was a name pot, first served with bamboo and clam, then served with fresh tofu skin and vegetables. The garnish was a seven spice salt that you can add to either nabe dish to make it a little spicy. Both nabe dishes were delightful and full of flavor.

The last dish was a Japanese style takikomi gohan (fried rice), which uses sou sauce and mushrooms to make a flavorful rice dish. In this case, the mushrooms are replaced with black truffles, which gave the dish a nice, unique flavor to takikomi gohan.

Instead of the course desert, we had a lovely cake for desert, which was obtained from an amazing bakery nearby.

For drinks, we had sake as we felt the compliment Japanese dishes the best over wine.

If you want traditional Japanese ingredients used to prepare traditional style dishes, then this is a great restaurant to try. If you're looking for unique dishes, then this may not be the place for you.

For us, any Michilen restaurant needs to be spot on in all aspects of the meal to get five stars, and the shortfall here was the crab dish with sake, we felt 'meh' with this dish and had to force ourselves to finish it. That is the reason we rated this four stars. Other than that, all the other dishes were great and well in line of what we expected.

Every time I travel to a Michelin city, I always go out of my way to go to a Three Star restaurant. I eat the street food, I eat the regular food, and I eat what's allegedly the best of the best. I like to get a wide variety of the cuisine of these places.

Well for Tokyo, I chose Azabu Kadowaki. I made my reservations, showed up, and then began the show. I reserved the six-person bar where the head chef himself was in front of us making all of the dishes himself, while his helpers made all the dishes for the dining room crowd that we couldn't see. Very cool.

Course after course came our way. Amazing fresh seafood, perfect tempura, a surprisingly delicious picked monkfish liver dip, a perfectly roasted snapper filet, a decadent somen noddle dish with uni and caviar, a nice clam and tofu skin soup cooked tableside, and his signature dish, the truffle rice.

He takes a pot of rice, and Makes It Rain with black truffle. More than I've ever seen anyone shave at one time ever, in real life or on TV. He mixes it all up, serves it all up with some fresh pickled veg. Very good.

Then he wraps it all up with a black truffle honey ice cream. It's perfect.

Overall, this was a definitely a Three Star restaurant on par with the others I've been to before. Anyone who doesn't say this was a five star experience, well, I wouldn't trust their judgment. Too many haters out there. Just enjoy the great food.

Multiple visits and Always an amazing amazing meal here!!!! 💯
Truly the best sharkfin tempura , we think it could be precooked in dashi before frying with tempura batter. So umami! Best to order extra portions because it’s that gooddd.

Very delicate flavors for those who can appreciate it.

I wish that we could have been more favorable about the rating of the restaurant, but we were extremely underwhelmed with the food, even if the restaurant did not have any Michelin stars. From the first dish to the last, it was flavorless and in some cases, we could not finish the dish due to its lack of taste.

Been to lots of Michelin restaurants and didn’t feel it was that good. In fact, kind of underwhelming. The only highlight was the truffle rice.

I think they air on the side of authentic food flavor which might be too bland for most people.

Hmm where do we begin. Don't get the pricier course. You'll encounter 4 dishes using truffles. They have something with truffles. The people there will open your room and check-in every 3 min lol the last dish truffle rice is AMAZING!! 4 stars only because of $600 / person course and knowing it's a 3 star Michelin star establishment. Expectations vs reality. A bit of a gap

Ehh. But 9.5/10 on the deep fried shark fin (special menu). Yummmm! Not a big fan of modern kaiseki, used a lot of good and expensive ingredients but something was just off. Personally 7/10 overall.

60% Good overall Japanese kaiseki restaurant, although I find the cooking to be less accessible and challenging to understand. Prices are higher. *** Came here for dinner, Oct '14 with another diner who recommended the place. Kadowaki is a Japanese fine dining restaurant in Tokyo, Japan. As far as my understanding goes, it serves Kaiseki, or Japanese style fine dining dinners. The cooking appears to be more traditional than contemporary. The menu seems to be more seasonal and ingredient driven. Prices are closer to the moderate end of expensive. As of exchange rates in late 2014, our dinner here cost around 32,000 Yen or US$270 per person for the kaiseki alone. Apologies if the cost is slightly off. Some diners may be interested to know that this place had 2 michelin stars as of 2014, although I am uncertain about 2015. The environment is more traditional, intimate, and solemn. There is an available chef's counter where you are able to observe the chef cook for you throughout the entire dinner. I liked Kadowaki overall, although I found that I often struggled to appreciate the cooking. It wasn't my among my absolute favorites in fine dining this year. It wasn't one of the more memorable meals within my three day trip in Japan, of which many were michelin star rated restaurants. I found the flavors to often be inconsistent. Some items had more subtle flavors. Others were quite harsh. Some items were quite delicious and others not so much. At more than one instance I was puzzled with some of the ideas and execution choices. I did find the price to be higher than the vast majority of my meals, yet it seemed that the premium was often difficult to justify other than the use of more premium ingredients at times like black and white truffle or blowfish. With the this review, instead of going through a detailed course by course description, I'll just note some of the more intriguing moments, whether they were highlights or not. I don't feel confident enough to fairly comment in the details of this style of cuisine, that I'm not very used to, but I think its fair to mention some details that I enjoyed or not so much. I also won't rate each course like I usually do. There were some strong courses here. I recall the starter plate with a small serving of hot rice with ginko nuts, sweet fish roe, and red bean was an effective blending of sweet and savory elements. It had a nice presence of bright, refreshing flavors that was very stimulating to the palate, yet also delicious and comfortable. It was one of my favorites. The fried blowfish with a batter and flavor profile similar to Kentucky Fried Chicken was quite clever in that the texture of the fish had a very similar texture of juicy chicken thighs, with the most subtle delicious flavor of fishiness. The ayu fish cooked with a matsutake mushroom gravy, made use the pairing of both ingredients nicely, with the mushrooms earthy bright notes complementing the fragrant binchotan charcoal notes from the fish nicely. Nonetheless, I was not sure I understood the appeal of such a fish. I was also perplexed how the fish head was cooked to the extent where it tasted harshly bitter to the extent that it was almost like biting into charcoal. I was puzzled if this was deliberate or a mishap in cooking. Some pleasant but not great dishes included the pairing of a snapper sashimi with shaved white truffles. The shavings, not unlike what i had at other meals in Japan and the US this year seemed to be less fragrant and noticeable. The fish as I understand it also isn't the most vibrant, so it didn't seem remarkable. The same could be said for the black truffle over baked rice. Some other courses were okay, like the eel shabu shabu. While the bouncy soft texture was interesting and fun, I didn't find it to be that delicious. I also didn't care for the fact that a good deal of bones were still on the eel, leading my toungue to get painfully punctured every few other bites. I'm skeptical it was meant to be served in such a way. Overall the food seemed to be a bit hit and miss to me. While there were great courses, it was too few and far between. There seemed to be an equal amount of items I found myself not enjoying as much or found mildly enjoying but not impressed. Nonetheless, I'm not ruling out that the cuisine here may not be accessible for everyone. I don't think it was for me in the same regard an American, European, or a more traditional Sushi Omakase might be. I review this place with a degree of reluctance. Service seemed quite formal and very organized. I found it to be a bit stiff for my preferences, but perhaps this is a style of hospitality that I'm not sufficiently familiar enough to fairly comment on. I think Kadowaki might be a good place to look into if you're familiar with kaiseki. I'm not confident to recommend it if you aren't so familiar with this style of cooking.

Great Kaiseki restaurant, food are amazing, especially the fried shark fin and truffle rice, service are great.
