Nihonryōri Seizan 晴山 is a 2-Michelin-starred restaurant ⭐️⭐️ specializing in traditional Japanese kaiseki cuisine in Tokyo. The head chef is Haruhiko Yamamoto, who decided to become a chef after feeling the joy of making his parents happy with his own cooking.

The restaurant offers a 12-course omakase menu for ¥44,490 per person with a choice of sake pairing. My mom and I chose sake pairing for dinner.

This restaurant can be described in one sentence: Exquisite Japanese cuisine made from high–quality ingredients. Throughout the meal, Chef Yamamoto successfully brought out the most quintessential flavors of premium ingredients such as puffer fish, soft–shell turtle, and milk. The flavor of the soup was very clear. In addition, the squid that appeared as sashimi was amazing and I was very impressed. The salmon roe rice was the best dish of this dinner. Chef Yamamoto handled the knife skillfully and carefully, creating a flavor that melted in the mouth and spread with the most natural sweetness.

The summer tuna dish with a good balance of umami and acidity without being too fatty. The abalone udon with chilled and chewy udon noodles, blended with a well-balanced liver soup. The sea urchin gave the dish a rich and aromatic aroma, while the green onions added a refreshing and green feeling. A bite full of summer feelings! The abalone itself exudes fragrance and flavor in every bite, and the chef’s combination makes this dish even more appealing. The Isshiki grilled eel is a perfect dish. I rarely eat eel unless I go to omakase restaurants, but I was very satisfied with this dish here when eaten with mozuku. The skin of the eel is crispy, juicy and moist – just one bite and you will be fascinated by the texture of the eel. The flavor is overwhelming from here, the freshness of the grated daikon, the spiciness of the chili makes this eel a very special dish. The fatty taste of the eel and the spiciness of the chili, combined with the sourness of the mozuku, brings a very refreshing feeling.

The service is very polite and I can understand why this place is considered a high–class and popular restaurant.
