Narisawa - Tokyo

My experience at Narisawa in Singapore, during their pop-up with Mandala Club, was truly one-of-a-kind. It was amazing to see the same sake bottles and special ingredients that are unique to Narisawa in Japan, being used in another country. Chef Narisawa, GM Leo, and their team took excellent care of us throughout the entire evening. The staff were patient and friendly, making the experiential journey through the food and drink offerings truly exceptional. The simple ingredients showcased the high quality of the produce and proteins, sourced specially for Narisawa. It was fascinating to learn about their collaborations with Dom Perignon and other sake houses, creating unique flavors and special bottlings just for the chef. These special experiences, along with the top-notch dining experience, justify Narisawa's position as one of the top 50 restaurants globally.

This restaurant offers a truly unique dining experience. From the moment you walk in, you can see a distinct theme that carries through every aspect, from the ingredients used in the dishes to the pairing of food and wine. The attention to detail in creating this experience is evident, and the service is exceptional. The food is delicious, and each dish is beautifully presented like a work of art. It's no surprise that they are ranked among the top 50 restaurants in the world. Overall, it is an impressive dining experience that is worth trying.

The seasonal menu at this restaurant is incredibly creative. They provide a small booklet detailing the origin of your food, from the mountains to the sea. The dining room is even more stunning in person. The staff is friendly and attentive. Every course is flawlessly executed and bursting with amazing flavors. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my dining experience.

Second visit after 10 years. As amazing as the first time. Spectacular ingredients! A truly memorable experience !

Wanted to love dining here as Narisawa is a true legend and had been looking forward to this for months, but it just comes up short on what is expected for a restaurant of this caliber and price point in 2023. Impeccable service, stunning and creative presentations, innovative ideas, but one of the many world top xxx restaurants that has lost the core of make delicious food then focus on everything else. A few excellent courses, but more than 1 fell flat. Unfortunately just not worth the price of admission for the iteration I had. Will be interested to see what changes post 20 yr remodel. Sake/wine pairing was very good . 4.3/5. Most of the Sake 's are curated specifically for the restaurant and are paired beautifully. The Japanese Chardonnay being produced for the restaurant simply doesn 't hold up.
