Nestled in the heart of Hiroo, Tokyo, Ode is not just a restaurant; it's a culinary journey that redefines the essence of Japanese cuisine. Under the innovative guidance of Chef Namai, this Michelin-starred establishment breathes new life into traditional Wa—Japanese harmony—by merging it with the fragrance-driven philosophy of French gastronomy. Here, the art of soba takes center stage, transformed into dishes that are as visually stunning as they are flavorful, inviting diners to explore a new genre known as Shin-Washoku, or New Japanese Cuisine.

At Ode, every dish tells a story, and two standout creations exemplify this philosophy. The "Gray" dish, adorned with sardine meringue, is a playful yet sophisticated experience that surprises the palate with its unique textures and flavors. Each bite is a delightful exploration, showcasing Chef Namai's creativity and attention to detail. Another must-try is the "Dragon Ball" amuse-bouche, a whimsical presentation that captivates both the eyes and taste buds, leaving diners in awe of its artistry.

A restaurant sparking innovation in the world of Wa—Japanese harmony and cuisine. Chef Namai, the genius behind the Michelin-starred ode, embarks on his next bold challenge: to breathe fresh air into the traditional world of Japanese cuisine. Centered around soba, yet infused with the fragrance-driven philosophy of French gastronomy, his creations transcend expectations, achieving a new dimension of culinary expression without ever feeling out of place.

This is a remarkable place that redefines Japanese cuisine—not by abandoning its essence of refined simplicity, but by introducing a new breeze that gives rise to a genre all its own: Shin-Washoku, or New Japanese Cuisine.

This is NOT a French restaurant.
Chef Namai makes his own original cuisine. Ode is a playful restaurant where you will taste new and unusual flavors; you might even giggle along the way because of the chef's creativity. My all time favorite dish is always "gray" covered with sardine meringue. The ingredients change slightly each time, but the meringue chips remain a constant. The whole dish just works so well.
The all gray decor is simple and attractive, and the staff is attentive and dedicated. Go!

Incredible experience. Staff was extremely caring and took the time to explain each dish even though we could not speak Japanese. Highly recommend the wine paring as they bring out many vintage wines that paired very well with each dish. Offered us a second glass of champagne even. Dragon ball amuse bouche is a showstopper. Chef Namai took the time to greet us at the beginning of the meal and chatted with us outside once we were finished. One of the biggest highlights of our Japan trip. Be careful to not take pictures of other patrons to respect others.

This was an experience for sure. Every single dish was unique and surprising with how flavor is packed into every bite. You can’t just walk in here, make your reservations, dress up and go enjoy the amazing food paired with the chefs recommended drinks. The Afruge Ma Chérie was incredible!

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience from start to finish. The service was exceptional and each dish was carefully crafted to display certain characteristics that the chef wanted the patrons to experience. Interesting option of a tea pairing where they use Taiwanese teas. Highly recommended and you can understand why it has received numerous awards.
