A special someone’s birthday or the night of a proposal. For a “special day” dinner that you absolutely don’t want to miss, a well-known restaurant with a star that everyone knows is good, but by choosing a “hideaway” without a signboard, you can surprise your partner and create a special feeling.

Let me tell you a little bit about a restaurant in Tokyo that I only make reservations for on special nights.

Extraordinary life starts from the entrance The store is located in a quiet residential area in Nishiazabu. There is no big signboard to mark it. When you gingerly open the heavy wooden door of a room in an old apartment building, you’ll find yourself in another world filled with flickering candlelight, where the hustle and bustle outside is a lie. There is only a counter with 4 seats and only one private room in the back. The luxurious use of the space, which only accepts three groups of customers a day, heightens expectations for the time that is about to begin.

“Gourmet Theater” by chefs and sommeliers The cuisine is innovative French that incorporates Japanese techniques. There is no menu, and each plate is assembled right in front of you, like a work of art, using only the best ingredients of the day. The biggest attraction here is the ``perverted’’ pairing by the exclusive sommelier. Sometimes it’s old vintage red wine from France, sometimes it’s rare Japanese sake, and sometimes it’s homemade fermented tea. Each bite offers a little bit of a different drink, and you can’t help but marvel at the puzzle of flavors that complete in your mouth.

Magic to forget time A night where you forget about the clock and immerse yourself in good wine, gourmet food, and conversation. By the end of the meal, the stresses of everyday life will completely disappear, and you will notice that your bond with your partner has become even stronger.

I’m not being mean about not giving the specific store name. The process of finding a “secret place” just for the two of you with your own hands is part of the production of your special day. Please come and discover the small miracles hidden in the back alleys of the city.
